Title: Scope cam for you video makers
Post by: Silencer on July 11, 2007, 04:21:57 PM
Seen this on the show today

(https://forum.finsandfur.net/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.shootingusa.com%2FTV_SCHEDULE%2FSHOW_26-09%2F26-09-8.jpg&hash=5fb54e375aad5b09571d5ae7ad97f17227f939fe)

Castfire Eyepiece Camera - This is the camera that captures what the scope is seeing, from Castfire Solutions. Their customers are primarily Military and Law Enforcement units. The Castfire Cameras have exceptional resolution, in spite of the small size, in black and white or color.

In a training environment, the instructor can record video of what the shooter is doing with his riflescope. In combat, the Castfire Camera can provide real-time intelligence reporting to remote locations when it's hooked into a satellite link.

This is mil-spec quality with a price to match: $3,500 for the camera and power supply.

Looked like it worked well from what I seen of it on the tv show.   Price is pretty steep

Bop,

If you are buying, why stop at two?  I think we would like for you to get everyone here one.   :biggrin:  It would be under a mil and that is the credit limit on your VISA isn't it?

If one could afford it, it'd be well worth it.  The sight picture was nice, crosshairs and all.  For the scene, you could have the predator coming in on the normal view, then edit to the scope cam before the shot  :wo:
Thats what I'd do lol... I cant afford it, cant even afford a digi vid cam LMAO !!
