[QUOTE="Double Naught Spy, post: 1031655, member: 55410"] My DVR is the box mounted forward of the brass catcher on the rail. A buddy of mine configured a nice mount with velco for the DVR case to attach to securely. However, I have previously carried it in the stock pouch where you see the patches and had it zip-tied to the top of my scope (different scope than in the picture above). The more you isolate these from shock, the better. The velcro attachment allows for some wiggle that helps dampen recoil forces on the unit. The same goes for letting it ride in the pouch. I know folks use these with up to .308. Very little of the electronics aren't made in China it seems. Mine IS and it costs about $220. It is an Ultimate Night Vision MDVR. [url=http://www.ultimatenightvision.com/DVR-Recorder-for-Thermal-Scopes-p/unv-mdvr.htm]Night Vision DVR for Thermal and Digital Scopes - UNV MDVR[/url] The UNV MDVR does have sound. Angel Eye is a cheapy Chinese recorder you can find on Ebay and it does an okay job for the $60-80 it will cost you, but it does not have sound. I have gone through several of these. Something like the UNV MDVR or a Lawmate is a better deal because they seem to be better made. Lawmate seems to be the next higher up units and I don't think they have sound, but are supposedly more rugged (maybe some have sound?) and also at least some of the electronics are Chinese I am told from a buddy who took his apart. They start at about $400 or so. The UNV MDVR has a remote wire for activating the recorder. That is a nice feature. I think some of the competition has something similar as well, but I have no experience with those. The Angel Eye does not and I don't believe the LawMate does (note that there are multiple models of LawMate and maybe some do, IDK). It isn't a critical feature, but is handy. The trick with a lot of these is getting the correct wiring harness between your scope and the DVR. It seems every scope company uses a different configuration. If you know what you are doing, you can make your own cheaply enough. If you go through UNV, give Tyler (owner) a call and tell him what scope you have and he can probably set you up with the right cable. I would be willing to guess that with how things are progressing, there may be more manufacturers of DVRs showing up at the Shot Show. If you are not in a critical hurry, you might wait and see what it reported from there. Just a thought. Did that cover what you needed? [/QUOTE]
