You can quickly and easily attach the night vision device to the front of almost any 35mm camera or camcorder with the camera adapter. Additional step up or step down adapter rings might be necessary to be compatible with your NVD.
The ATN Camera Adapter comes with 37mm and 52mm threads. The 37mm thread attaches to your NVD, while the 52mm thread will attach to your camera's lens. If you ave a lens with a different size filter thread, you will need to purchase additional adapter rings separately. Lenses with a filter diameter larger than 52mm will need a step down ring and lenses with a filter diameter smaller than 52mm will need a step up ring.
To use this adapter effectively, the intended recording device or camera MUST have a macro feature or lens. You will be focusing on the phosphorous screen of the NVD. Without true macro capability in your camera or lens you will not be able to focus correctly. You must first focus the NVD, and afterwards you can attach and focus your camera. When you have achieved sharp focus in your camera, you can fine tune your focus at the NVD. Disabling the auto focus feature of your camera and using the manual focus option will provide optimum results.
