Advice for filming pellet wobble please.
I’m not wanting to film slow motion hunting but would like to check spiral wobble for different projectiles on targets.
Options-
I have a Sony A6400 which will do 120fps. Could arrange it ‘through scope’ or besides gun with telephoto lens.
Also could buy a GoPro with 240fps and arrange (3D print) a through scope system (don’t really need a side view system).

Anyway advice please.
 
I've done it several times few years ago using various scopes, cheap camera scope mount and GoPro 4 with really cheap 2x lens adapter with great success.


Now i have stupidly expensive eagle vision side mount for phone and footage is unusable.
I have some more testing to do but picture shakes after shot much longer than it takes pellet to reach the target and is generally blurry.

All in all, my cheapo setup was much better

Most phones today have the ability to record in 1080p @ 240FPS so that was the reason to jump to the eagle vision setup since my old GoPro 4 records 240FPS in 720p

I forgot my phone does 240 fps. I will probably print an adapter to fit it on a spotter scope if I can figure out how to stop the phone switching lenses.

Eagle vision mount will need a 2x zoom lens on the phone or it’s pretty descent. If you use the right phone with the right lens it can be quite good, still very finicky but pretty good depending on the scope. Cheap direct camera mount is better for filming as it gets all the light no no as finicky. But eagle vision is made to film and shoot at the same time not dedicated filming only.

I would be worried I would change the characteristics of the projectile by painting and may induce a wobble on an otherwise stable pellet.

Thays a high possibility.. you just look them over is all i suggested . The you may stumble on and find a better idea .. i do know a bright shiny pellet when the sun is just right i can see it from near muzzle to target shot after shot till the sun moves a bit .

Good luck
