reloader550 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 What brand of cameras do most shooters use, I see (GOPRO) cameras most of the time, are there any more brands of cameras out on the market for shooters. Buy the way I'm new to the forum this is my 1st post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge40 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Contour is a great camera for this sport. You see gopros a lot but they can be a little awkward for this. Check out the contour they mount great to your muffs. And welcome to the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) Welcome to the forums! Go pros look so damn out of place. I guess it's the size and shape but they are just so bulky. I'm looking pretty hard at the tachyons. Edited June 7, 2016 by Sarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 go pro hero session (small cube) works pretty good, super easy to turn on and off. easily clips to bill of baseball cap and light enough to not move it around too much. i also have sony action cam that i mount to top of earpro. a little heavier and if i'm sweaty or not wearing a cap, it has moved my earpro around.

SanduneCC Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 +1 for GoPro Hero Session (the small cube). It's under $200 and mounts easily (with light mod) to the bill of the hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanduneCC Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I experimented with my friend's over the ear-type camera but I didn't like that angle as much. Straight on the bill of the hat, over the gun, offers the most satisfying view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip3 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 Been happy with the sony action cam mini . Great picture and sound, good size and plenty of mounts. You can use your phone as a remote with screen view. Currently mounted to ear muffs but may change. I am bad about putting the muffs on at angle and not checking the view. May try mounting to the bill of a hat. Some local guys use the mobius. Hard to beat the price. It a good cam and is great for hat bill mounting. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GT2B4R6?psc=1If just using for shooting it is a solid option.

davsco Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 i guess i don't get out enough but that's the first uspsa match/range i've seen without bays or at least berms. looks like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I also like the sony action cam. The other cams I've seen and tried always seem to fall down in one area. often it's the video which whilst technically 1080 was still sub par and most often it's the sound that's the let down. many have really poor sound. The sony has great picture and great sound. It's super light, has removable batteries that are cheap to buy spares, last a long time and easy to change. The mount is very secure but easy to adjust. You can check the view via a smartphone and it has a simple single button both to turn on and start recording (and gives a loud audible indication that it's starting up and recording) and then to stop recording (gives a different sound so you know it stopped, it then has auto shut off to conserve battery). It has a wide variety of mounts (and an adapter so you can use any go pro compatible mount too). You can tell I really like mine..... So yeah, I'd say sony action cam.

Delta66 Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 Go pro hero 3 for me. Looks a little bulky on the hat but it gets the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tt350z Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 i guess i don't get out enough but that's the first uspsa match/range i've seen without bays or at least berms. looks like fun. That was my first time at that outdoor range. The downside of not having bays/berns was that we couldn't split up the squad so it took forever to finish the match.

RecoilJunkie Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) I run a gopro on the bill of the hat.... it looks worse than it is. Its not bad at all, they aren't heavy... I may be bias... hell I wore the old school kevlar w/ PVS-7B back in the service for quite some time.....

vinceislander Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 GoPro Hero Session here ... What it looks like I implemented a similar concept, except I cut a hole in the bill to drop the bottom of the frame(not the mount) through the bill. Used industrial velcro to keep the camera in place. I placed it as far back as possible without the bill being viewable in the frame. I barely notice the camera is there.

Unregistered Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Get yourself a Mobius camera on eBay. It's the size of a matchbox. Just put velcro on the bottom of it, and glue velcro on the top of the brim of your hat. And it's $70.

Unregistered Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Which lens does your Möbius have? It's a friend's camera - I use a Mobius in my car as a dash cam. I believe he has the standard lens on his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
