@@BrandonandStacyHunt It has been great hunting squirrels with this camera. This year I finally got a deer with it, but the sunlight made it pretty washed out looking. Again, thanks for the great advice on getting it setup.
Great video, just got mine this weekend and it does take few time to get used to it…. I got it on the nose few time 🤦♂️ and with my .300 wing mag every 4,5 shoots the cam was sliding out
Super helpful, been having trouble getting mine focused just right challenge is on scopes without parallax like on my .22 but works great on my Creedmoor which has a better scope.
I agree with the previous comment about about well and detailed explanation. I normally see the videos with "circled view". How do you get your video in rectangular view?
Like the video. My question is this. Do you look thru the scope and adjust the dioplar for a clear in focus reticle like you normally would? Or are you compensating the dioplar focus to make the image clear with the FTS?
Awesome explanation, one question. If you record in 4K, and post the video on social media aftwr, does it show up blurry, is that why you record in 1080? Thanks!
Thats pretty sweet. I got a question though, do you look through the scope or the phone screen when you shoot? By the way it looks there isn't much eye relief with the camera on the end of the scope.
I have a tactacam 4.0 i use it on purple wich is zoom so i can see everything better what is the best settings for the best quality and its still zoomed in and performs well when its dark in the mornings and evenings
I don't know man. I can see best through reticle when focus is not twisted out at all. In order to get clear video, I have to twist focus like half way out to max. By that time, my eye doesn't see anything. I don't wear glasses, have really good eyes, and I find this to be a problem while finding the "happy median"
How do you keep it from absolutely wrecking your nose with the basically nonexistent eye relief? I’ve used multiple scopes and even on my .223 it still smacks the bridge of my nose, making it unusable.
So I bought a scopecam for airsoft awhile back, since it was $120 vs $550....do you think I could buy the FTS and utilize the scopecam that way? If so I'd get the best of both worlds. Regardless, thanks for the video
@ 2:00 What Mode and settings were You at ? I used mine last year for first time in my UA-cam video and is very small. I did not realize till after watching your video you could make field of view LARGE . Do You have any videos in whatever mode/settings You were in ? Thanks ,Richard
Irregardless of mode that is a zoom function only accessible in app. So connect to app you should see “AWB” in upper left corner. Click it slider will pop up and u can zoom. Will stay zoomed til changed with app.
@@coyotecomando1 sorry AWB, upper left corner of preview. Can text or email you a pic with it circled. Upper left by battery level indicator. When you tap it slider pops up on bottom of screen.
@@BrandonandStacyHunt thanks boss, I found it. When I click on the icon on my Samsung android phone the bar on the bottom doesn't appear, nothing happens. I tried my girlfriends I - phone and the bar does appear when I click the icon. Strange!.. Thank you
has anyone had the same experience as i have that when you are at your last 5 to 10 minutes of shooting light the tactacam 5.0 does not give me a actual video just a black video when camera is mounted without using a FTS unit Does using a FTS allow you to record right up to last schooling light as I am able to view through my scope right up to last shooting light
Has nothing to do with scope zoom. Using the app need to zoom the camera to your liking. While connected in top left corner should see awg, press it a slider will come up and you can slide to zoom. It will stay that way until you change it in the app again.
Dealing with this now, when camera "sees" good, I can't, when I see good, camera is wack. The "happy median" for me is mediocre video, while straining my eye to the max trying to see the cross hairs.
@@BootTrackStories yeah, that’s what I was afraid of. There’s a scope camera called “shot cam” or something like that out of South Africa and it has a mechanical adjustment so you can dial it in for your vision. Let me know if you fix the problem somehow.
You just have to move it around and hold in place when it’s as best to center as possible while you tighten camera into mount. Hold with one hand while tightening with the other
I have a problem with this. If I adjust the eyepiece focus so my Tactacam is in focus then my eyepiece will not be in focus for my eyesight through the scope. Unless I'm missing something.
@@BrandonandStacyHunt I've had it for almost a year now and love it. I know a lot of people that are throwing their spypoints in the garbage or actually shooting them and switching to Tactacam.
My crosshairs are not even close to center with everything straight and snugged down. Appreciate the video but this product is straight trash for the price.
The most well explained and detailed explanation. I wish I had of known this a year ago.
Thanks Jeff glad it helped

Yes with no parallax you’d have to shoot at whatever range it is focused it in most cases 100 yards

Need to zoom the camera using the app. AWB button in top left corner

Ahh haven’t strayed from 1080 @ 60 fps sorry can’t help more
@@BrandonandStacyHunt Thanks for answering
Great video Thanks again for giving Great information 👍
Thanks for sending me the link to this. Think i need the 5.0 instead of the cheapest model lol.
Thats pretty sweet. I got a question though, do you look through the scope or the phone screen when you shoot? By the way it looks there isn't much eye relief with the camera on the end of the scope.
You still look through the scope. It does take away some eye relief so would have to be careful on higher recoil rifles for sure
How do you get rid of the black outer rim? I wish that was in the video

I’ve never had an issue. Might have to move scope forward a bit?

How did you get rid of the shading on the side at the end of the video. Im running the Vortex Viper Gen 2 and at full zoom i'm seeing that.

Great video!
What video program for editing & posting on face book. Seems like it takes forever just to load a 52 second video.
Power director. All depends on what quality you render it.
It seems like it would be a bit of a crapshoot as to whether both the Tacticam and the shooter will both be able to see through the scope clearly.
No, just have to find a happy medium. Everyone’s eyes are different too.

@@highdesertutah I don’t think that films through scope giving you reticle and shooters perspective
My picture won't centre,there's a big black part on the right,any solution?
You just have to move it around and hold in place when it’s as best to center as possible while you tighten camera into mount. Hold with one hand while tightening with the other
Does the tactacam mount affect the eye relief at all? So then you have to adjust the scope as well?
You lose some eye relief for sure so if shooting a large caliber you’d have to be careful or move your scope forward
@@BrandonandStacyHunt okay awesome thanks

Shoot couple shots and let us see how it is after the recoil. I believe it’s not the best because that camera lacks stability feature.
