Help ID'ing this please

[jro7563]

Hi all,

Wasn't sure where to put this so please move if in the wrong section.

Trying to ID this Monocular (????) have ID'd the lens but not the body, it has been suggested that its a night vision monocular but am unable to find anything on it, who it was manufactured by etc etc.

Would really appreciate any help on this.

Many thanks

John.

A quick google image search says "Foxtrot PYSIS Night Vision Monocular"?

Hi,

Yes that's where I got the image from, they are an hire company for film, stage etc, I contacted them for more info on it (manufacturer) but no reply must be top secret as it was used in a Bond film, so thought I would try on here.

Have tried PYSIS monocular in google, even tried a reverse image search but nothing, except the above company.

Ah! I thought, you owned one!

But if you're looking for night vision equipment, you're living in a good time. I searched some 25 years ago and prices...

Compared to that, it's a bit overwhelming to see both supply and prices of today

Ah ok, no I don't own it just trying to get information regarding it which is pretty much non existent it was used in a Bond film (was a digital camera on screen) Foxtrot have it listed as a night vision monocular (if that's what it is ????)

Thanks for your input

John.

if you study the build quality, it's evident, it's a one-off... a knock-up? though here I feel, that's not the right phrase?

A dummy, probably.

 

[jro7563]

Yes that is possible seeing as There seems to be no trace of any manufacturer making one.

Many thanks

John.

Ok, I'll play dumb ... what would you use a monocular for?

Same thing as a pair of binoculars only made for one eye to look through, like a telescope, that's all I know :shrug: regarding the one in the pic, if it is a real world item (not made by the prop department) I'm trying to find out who it was made by, but it seems to be a closely guarded secret, so thought someone on here might recognize it.

Cheers

John.
