USING THE CAMERA ADAPTER
(OPTIONAL)
To use your Patriot with a 35mm camera or camcorder you will need the following:
1) If you plan to use a camcorder then your camcorder must have a MACRO feature. Most
modern camcorders today have a MACRO feature builtin.
2) If you plan to use a 35mm camera, you will need a MACRO lens. If you don’t have one, we
advise that you contact your local camera store.
3) You may or may not need a STEP-UP or STEP-DOWN ring in order to adapt the camera
adapter to your lens. NOTE: The camera adapter comes with 37mm and 52mm threads. If
you need other sizes your local camera store should be able to help.
• Remove the rubber eyecup from the Patriot
• Screw the camera adapter onto the front of the lens on your Video camera’s lens or your
35mm camera’s lens.
• Loosen the three set screws on the camera adapter.
• Place the camera adapter over the Patriot’s eyepiece.
• Tighten the three set screws to fit snugly to the Patriot’s eyepiece
• You may need to focus the 35mm camera or video camera in combi-
nation with the Patriot in order to get the sharpest possible image.
• We suggest that you find an open space to work in. Focus the Patriot
so that the scene is at its sharpest. For best results you should dis-
able the auto focus (if any) on either the 35mm camera or the video
camera and manually focus the 35mm camera or the video camera.
Once the image is sharp, then simply adjust the Patriot’s front lens to
change focus.
*An important part to remember is that you are not taking a picture of an
object that is far away from you, but you are actually taking a picture of a
phosphorous screen of the Patriot that is only 2-3 inches away.
WEAPON KIT
