Are there any websites that are out there that sell good quality, but cheap tactical add-ons, like sights and scopes etc that would either suit the EMC Etha marker? sorry bit of a broad question looked about can can only find very professional gear at extortionate prices! thanks

To be honest there is little tactical advantage to adding the 'tactical' gear to a marker.

The only benefit with a red dot sight is if you use it as a quick guide. Paintballs don't fire in a consistent straight line one after the other, and if you're looking down a sight then you're not keeping aware of everything else around you.

If you are into some of the special events we get to go on these days then lasers look pretty in the dark or in smoke - but point straight back at you, and tac-lights let you see in the dark. But don't put it on all of the time. It lets everyone see where you are are, or you sillouhette your team and give the opposition a good view. If you go to an enclosed CQB game then if there is darkness then there is usually also dust kicked up, such as in Drakelow tunnels. Put a light on and you can only see a few feet in front of you, but anyone else can see your light source.
A tac-light is invaluable in small rooms when searching for props in indoor scenarios.

The most useful thing you can mount is a camera, its probably better on your goggles as when on your marker you find a lot of ground footage, but mounting on a marker is the easiest setup and its always pointing where you are shooting.

EbairSoft is the cheap source of most addons.

thanks m8, yea i have found suitable stocks, and foregrips, was really looking for some kind of equipment like in this picture. thanks for the camera advice, but to mount it in a suitable place, there are little clipable rail mounts, do u know what they are called? also the mounts for the camera would need to sit slightly of the marker, http://www.planeteclipse.com/site/products/emc_etha_rail_mounting_kit and http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?um=1&hl=en&sa=N&biw=1366&bih=643&tbm=isch&tbnid=-QUbEXAfV2fEbM:&imgrefurl=http://www.planeteclipse.com/site/products/emc_etha_rail_mounting_kit&docid=lFCU2mnrIzhLWM&imgurl=http://www.planeteclipse.com/gfx/products/emc_etha_rail_mounting_kit/shjei7892-big.jpg&w=1800&h=1200&ei=DVqpUO_BM8z74QTJrYGYCA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=189&vpy=161&dur=306&hovh=183&hovw=275&tx=185&ty=84&sig=111749184151995696250&page=1&tbnh=146&tbnw=212&start=0&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:69 and where to find em! in uk!?

They are 'picatinny' rails, also known as 'weaver' rails
(The difference is the original manufacturers design spec and distance between rails, an item designed for weaver will fit any picatiny, an item designed for picatiny might not fit weaver-but if you don't mind filing it down a bit hat can be fixed)

You will need to have a search around for them but this is a start:
http://www.opticswarehouse.co.uk/products.asp?cat=WEAVER+TACTICAL+MOUNTS

You are going to need a rail with bolts to fit the body, and fittings to match the camera (sports/action cameras tend to offer one these days) if required them a 'riser' as well to lift it further out
