For anyone considering these, there are many more features than Gavin showed. Those were the very basics. For instance, you can connect up to 4 cameras to 1 receiver, can connect to the video feed on more than 1 screen at a time, can record PIP with target/shooter (with audio), can replay the shot string in sequence, and can change color markers for multiple shooters so you can use the same target but know who's shots were who's (or different ammo/rifles for same shooter). Maybe more features than that, but that's what I remember off the top of my head. Hopefully he will do a follow up video to actually demonstrate all it has to offer, especially when it costs what it does.
@@1newme425 Yes there are a lot of features on the app. Another feature for instance is the picture angle adjustment. If your camera is looking at the target from a angle (most likely is) you can skew/correct the on-screen display to give you a more straight on view of the target. Pretty handy. Also should be clarified that you do not need any cell service or subscription to use it. It has it's own built in wi-fi network (which he mentioned). It works anywhere. The 2-mile range (max) is what really sets this apart from other camera systems on the market. You must have line of sight between units at all times though. You can purchase a separate wired transmitter to connect to the camera unit if you have obstructions like a hill in the way. You can put it on a tall tripod away from the camera to get line of site transission to the receiver. (If that makes sense). FWIW, there IS a delay for impact reports when you get to farther distances. It is not always instant feedback like this video showed. Another consideration is the system works with both android or apple OS's but the app was optimized for android. I've had mine 2 years and don't own any apple products so I don't know if that has changed since then. Just worth a mention.
do you have a model that film well as well to record shooting with multiple view points?
As you have probably noticed, I’ve been using this system for two years.
I’ve shipped it back and forth as is with just a shipping label taped to it and it’s traveled from WA to NC and TX and back to WA with no issues - multiple times.
Battery life is excellent so I set it out in the AM and bring it in after sunset. Battery has never been an issue.
The biggest problem is FPS which in practical use is about 5-10 fps and latency can be a few seconds when using the extender (which is needed starting at 400 yards).
It has let me down by freezing up a few times but about 85% of the time it works great - way better than the Caldwell system. Resolution is acceptable too.
I like it a lot - I just wish it had a faster processor and 100% reliability. That said, I don’t distance shoot without it.
FYI they are based in Pearland, TX where my brother lives.
You can also record yourself at the shooting position at the same time and it puts it PIP in the corner, that way you can see and hear yourself as you are shooting as the remote cameras do not have a microphone on them.
I’ve had the system for a couple of years, awesome. Make sure you get it updated before you go out to field..
I did a couple videos with mine. 600 and 1000 yards on a steel milk jug. There is some delay at times. I ended up buying 2 tablets after testing the unit on different operating systems. Mine worked best with the Android 9.0 system. It didn't like 8.0 or the 10.0. I emailed Jason at Longshot and he tried to help figure out the problem. I even sent it to them for testing. Brand of tablet may make a difference. 9.0 is working with mine.
We want one of these bad for our 1 mile shoot. I really hope to see more long range and ELR videos from you now !
We’re currently renting while I build our last home. I CANNOT WAIT to be moved in and able to set up my dedicated reloading/gun room/safe room. It’s been far too long.
Vault/Safe doors can fail
I
Remove the back plates once a year
To
Inspect for wear on the mechanisms
Also
I measured where I would have to
Drill
A hole just in case.
@@amsb4dafunk558 The room is an “L” Of the house, poured in the concrete. 12 x 24, I got my Rough opening from vault pro USABut I have not ordered a door yet. Do you have any suggestions? What brand did you go with? Did it fail? Or just give you a feeling that it could? Also I would be curious to know if you did anything for air filtration?
@@MB-rh1qd
Years back one of my safes failed on me
Luckily
My hunting buddy is a locksmith
He
Was able to tell me where to drill
To
Get at the lever that retracts the bolts.
I
Lucked out and managed to get an old
Mosler vault door for free.
Regardless of the cost
Everything mechanical needs care, and maintenance.
You
Are fortunate, NBC Air Filtration Systems
Are
Readily available, these days
60CFM units go for around $3,000

Had to DIY our stuff, back in the day.

Gavin,o
I can always count on you and your channel to have the information I need to look up how to make something work correctly after I buy it. You always have a wealth of information to share with us when we need it, and today was not any different as my Longshot LR-3 System just delivered and I set it up according to the instructions included. I figured that watching your video would top everything off before I head out to the farm and set up my targets. Thanks again for your information, you do a brilliant job compared to most others on this site!
I have had them for a while and I whole heartedly agree, these are worth every penny. Problem when you shoot at a crowded range, let's face it, there is ALWAYS a new shooter there! Bullet guarantee is worth it!
This is a great system. I have used it with great results out to 1 mile. That’s the farthest distance on my farm
Great video! I have gained a lot of knowledge by watching your videos. Just received the Longshot 300 yard system, can't wait to try it out. I mounted my 10.5" tablet on a tripod and want to use it in a split screen mode along with my labradar.
This would be awesome to use in conjunction with a chronograph setup for testing loads.
Luckily they also sell labradar packages with the camera and it works fantastic!
Thx for the review, after watching I just ordered the setup
Good shooting on that iron sighted ar.
Gavin. Love your content. Your a wonderful guy. Thank you!!!
I love steel as well but silhouettes maybe not great with snow having to pick up but so much fun hearing and seeing the target going down !
That is awesome! I would love to have one of these for my self .
Thanks for the review, going to purchase
Great job, very informative thank you.
My only worry about that is shooting the camera unit itself at long distance. It won’t take much at a mile plus for the bullet to drift off target and hit the unit. What would have been better is if the camera unit had a detachable antenna you could put off well to one side so you could then put the camera behind some hard cover as I assume you need direct line of sight from the transmitter to receiver
I was thinking something similar. I would think building a small AR500 box for it would be a good idea. Or set it up behind a plate.
@@tyler6147 problem is that I think it needs line of sight between the transmitter & receiver. If you put an AR500 plate on it, it would probably block the signal between the units
@@zuegma666 really should have a remote antenna for that
We have two solutions for that. The first is a "Bulletproof Warranty" that gives you a one time replacement or repair of the camera for accidental shootings that is good for two years and is renewable. The price is $39. We also offer an external antennae that you can set off to the side to act as a relay if you want to place it behind something that will protect the camera.
@@jasonwade5351 that’s good to hear about the warranty. Something like this, I would like to have right in front of the target with a bit of AR500 behind it to protect it, so a remote antenna would be good to have
I got a steal on the two camera system from Midway earlier this year for $750.
Thanks, Gavin 😁
That is pretty cool system...
We have their marksman model at my range. It's the cats meow!
Rad
Send this unit to “Mark and Sam Afterwork” ! These two are by far the most capable and reliable when it comes to ELR and ULR shooting. If they give the green light, then the company can expect my order immediately. Mark thinks a lot like me . Looking for failure points , then redesigning or tinkering with a fix to hold up to actual field use.
Please do a follow up video or collaboration with these two :)
Merry Christmas and I wish you and your channel the best of success in 2023 and beyond.
they will break the 2 mile limit of it I think
We have contacted them and it is in the works.
Only thing missing is an auto steel plate painter
Does it require line of sight from the camera to the receiver? I’d like to set an AR500 plate in front (between the shooter and camera) to protect it, but that won’t work if it needs line of sight.
It does, however we have two solutions for that. The first is a "Bulletproof Warranty" that gives you a one time replacement or repair of the camera for accidental shootings that is good for two years and is renewable. The price is $39. We also offer an external antennae that you can set off to the side to act as a relay if you want to place it behind something that will protect the camera.
@@jasonwade5351 Thanks for the info!
Cool toy . Bit xxy in Australia 🇦🇺 at the moment. But 😎
So this makes a spotting scope obsolete?
How many cameras max do you think would work if I could get 18 I could setup a golf course out to 2miles
The fps update rate in videos looks similar to the webcams in the early 2000s.
But other than that it looks like a sweet system..would be better to have a system next to the shooter with quality lens and zoom so you don't have to set up at the target
👍💪😁‼️
Hi Gavin, did you look at the system the F-class shooters use at the competions?
Where can i get that holder for my iPad?
It will be nice if will give you Bullet Speed, SD, ES and Group Size like Shot Marker does.
What 3" wide rail system (tracks) did you attach to your forend on the rifle on the tripod?
Shooting into a black target makes black holes. Very difficult to use the camera with a black target. (maybe impossible)
bought the hawk model for spotting scopes & dying to take it out to the range.
These beat a spotting scope for shooting at firing ranges...
Gamechanger indeed! When they have AI Analytics meshed with this you have a nice toaster.
how about 3-4 of these cameras out at different distances, all streaming back to one receiver/iPad ?
so just finished watching, so you saying ye can handle 2nd camera... will have to wait to see that in action ;)
Yes, we offer up to four cameras with one receiver. You can view one camera at a time on a single tablet but can easily switch between the cameras. You could also have more than one tablet connected to the receiver as long as each one views a different camera.
@@jasonwade5351 Assume the 4 camera's can also be recorded on the iPad... (tablet).
ok, so 4 senders to one Receiver, with one or multiple tablets viewing, as long as they not viewing the same source at the same time.
Pretty much makes a good high end spotting scope obsolete
What was the name of those target stands again?
Folding multi-use stand from D-M Targets! www.d-mtargets.com/store/p155/multiusehanger.html
Looks like a great tool however being able to place the camera with a drone would be the only way I could set the system up....
Not a bad price either
Wifi Gopro whatttt??
Money trap.
Not everyone can afford $900.00 for a shooting system. It looks like a great setup though.
That’s a mortgage payment.
🤘🥸🤘
FIX YOUR INTRO PLEASE!!! Sound is maxed out compared to the sound of the product description .
Intro damn near blows out my speakers while when you are talking I have to max out volume to hear it.
