Crossbow Action Cam

Post by seeelk »

This is one very cool item for anyone who wants to film their hunt. I purchased one on sale in Spokane and now need to figure out how to mount it to the rail of my Excalibur. I was able to find it all over the web, but didn’t want to wait for the mail. Use the link or google, “Oregon Scientific Action Cam” The best price I found was at www.compuvisor.com
$84.95 and $4.99 shipping USD.

You could probably mount that on a Groundpounder mount.

Croow Cam

Post by seeelk »

I first saw this Cam at work, our truck driver got one for Christmas, he says it last for several hours on a set of double A's. It takes up to a 2 gig SD card, with a 2 gig SD card you can get one hour of video. I just got the cam yesterday. I have shot some indoor and outdoor video. A much better video outdoors, not near as grainy. I will go back out now and shoot a test and post it on here.

What do you think about the rangefinder mount that goes above the scope?

That might work.

Crossbow Cam

Post by seeelk »

The cam can be mounted anywhere, it spins in its housing, I would like to mount it under the rail, out of the way. I just need to get to Cabelas and pick up a weaver rail. I will post a picture after it is done.

Or does it have a zoom? I bought a camera for a similar set up but it lacked a zoom and at 20 yards you could barley see the deer.

Looks good, I wonder how the shock of the bow will treat it.

Simply mounting job, two screws should do the trick. [img][img]http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj12 ... unted2.jpg[/img][/img][img][img]http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj12 ... ounted.jpg[/img][/img][/b]
