Romany Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Someone else in another forum posted this camera: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GX4CGEO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I wanted to try a camera to monitor powder, etc on my Dillon. This one is powered via USB - has to be connected to a Android or PC or MAC. For $38 I figured it was worth a shot to see if it would work under linux. I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu - and was surprised that it actually had a driver for this device. Quick google search for a open source app and I was in business. Worked great. The Dillon power checker is still better - but this does give me another station if I want to use the cam alone. I have a 1050 and just ty rap the cam mount to the Dillon vertical shaft holding the brass. Not pretty but good enough for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TobyJ Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I run one of those on my lee turret, when I load subsonic 300 blackout. With such a small amount of powder, in such a deep case, any other form of visual inspection is difficult at best. I drilled a small hole in the turret, and am able to look down into the case to see the powder quite easily. TobyJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romany Posted September 2, 2017 Author Share Posted September 2, 2017 Another use for this device - it good to look into your barrel (anything larger than .316 inches). You can tell if you have cleaned out all of the leading that may build up - it shiny in the light... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
