Innovative Video Output for Scopes
Remotely-mounted video monitors offer many benefits for precision shooters. With an outboard LCD monitor, one can shoot “heads up” while watching downrange conditions and wind flags. Moreover one will no longer have to struggle with ultra-critical eye relief or strain to stay centered on a tiny exit pupil (as small as 1mm on high-magnification scopes). A remote screen that displays the view from the scope has obvious advantages for disabled shooters, and for military snipers (who can stay completely concealed). Varmint hunters operating at night and in low-light can also benefit, as the image from the scope can be boosted electronically to appear much brighter on the display.
Alamo Four Star of Texas has pioneered a video display for hunters and disabled shooters, the Deros Vision System. In the pictures below, you can see the system mounted on a rifle and also placed on a Deros rifle fixture used by a disabled shooter. Priced at $995.00, the Deros Vision System is not cheap, but its benefits are obvious for special applications. We predict that, with time, major optics makers will all offer some kind of digital viewing system that can function with spotting scopes and rifle optics. The gimbaled mechanical gun fixture, sold separately, can be mounted directly to a wheelchair.
Why would you want to do that?! What’s the purpose of hunting if you can sit home at a computer and hunt through a satellite?! Cause that’s where we’re going.
They don’t even need to hold the gun at eye level… What benefits this has, take a lot from the fun of hunting.
That’s just my 2 cents.
What happened to Deros Vision ?
hi there
a company in uk trying to put a patent on that product. NITE-SITE will have to think again;-))))
NITE-SITE lost their patent case, this was used as part of Nite hunters defence along with the fact NITE-SITE said they stole the idea for their product from a youtube user called cubleycat!
I disagree with the first comment. I am a quadriplegic and think this would be real handy. Since before I got hurt I was a hunting and shooting enthusiast. I have been looking for equipment to be able to get back into the sport.
Cheers
