Tactacam FTS shots

[Centercut]

Quick less than one minute video, three shots with Tactacam 5.0 w/FTS system. Scope is Vortex Razor HD LH 3-15x42 on .22 Cricket mini Carbine. Shot east of San Diego in Descanso CA last weekend. Filmed at 1080p 120 fps. No fancy editing... yet.

Great shots! Nice scope

Nice work. I am wishing I had a tactacam now instead of the sideshot. Thanks for sharing.

i am looking real hard at these,

love how compact the mount is.



does the 5.0 shoot slow motion video also?

 

[stoti]

Yeah, I'm taking a hard looks at the Tactacam too. So far, all of the reviews and talk about them has been very positive. 

Nice shooting CC. Rabbit (10pts.)for the back flip... Squirrel (10pts) double front barrel roll... squirrel (10pts) quick disappearing act!

Have a good one. Stoti

Does the eye relief change when using the Tactacam mount? e.i. do you have to move the scope forward?

does the 5.0 shoot slow motion video also?

Yes, it does 120 fps in full HD 1080p and 240 fps in HD 720p.

No, you do not need to change scope position when you use the FTS.

Dang nice shots and video. I'm going to look into that setup.

Me too as far as having the SideShot system. On half my scope set-ups because there is play or space between the SideShot and the scopes occular piece the video view is off center. That means I have to shim to get the video aligned. Even at that it isn't 100% effective and can be knocked off alignment. Bill

PS My thought was if SideShot extended their eyepiece cup about 1/2 inch and added three nylon set screws to fine tune the alignment that might help.

I presume there's a prism the splits the light path. How much dimmer is the scope view compared to not using the device?

 

[Centercut]

I haven’t noticed any dimming, but then I’m shooting outside in the CA sun. Probably would be a slightly dimmer picture at dawn and dusk, but that would be true of all systems that use a prism.

Great shots. Been using mine on my Texan SS when pig hunting. Got several videos, just haven’t had time to figure out the editing. Slowly working on it.

Nice offhand kill!

Mr. Center Cut, would you mind posting the o.d. of your tactacam? I am hoping that an older POV camera that lives in my junk drawer would fit the FTS mount. The dims I found on line list the diameter of the mount as 32mm, but I feel that is gonna be the scope side rather than the camera side.

Thank you, sir. You are a bad influence , i skipped lunch today to start my tactacam fund.

I’m on business travel in Panama City, FL this week but will get back to you this weekend.

[JimNM]

That that would be awesome sir! Thank you.

^^^ Ya didn't need to whisper that Jim....

 

[JimNM]

Hahaha. My eyes were almost shut. I work nights and it was time to make sleep. Usually I have issues with yelling, rather than whispering.

No, you do not need to change scope position when you use the FTS.

it can a little, but in normal to high lighting conditions you won't notice it. There's a 3 button custom mode thing you can setup right on the camera to quickly toggle between the presets of your choice. As I told @centercut I have one at FHD 1080p 120fps and one at 240fps at 720p. I have a 3rd in 4K at 30fps if I ever want to pull it out real quick of the FTS and film something.

I have some crazy outdoor footage coming soon to the channel. @centercut, you should submit some of these to fan footage... you're really dialing it in!
