What cam to analyze the tune?

[bigHUN]

Pretty much I would not need it for anything else.
Only to see if my pellets/slugs flying error free from the tune = no corkscrewing. So pretty much "one time use".
So far I could not justify spending $500+ for the rig, but also I stoped my club membership and have no longer access to multiple distance ranges to check the tune on every 5 meters if hits the same X.
Anything inexpensive cam on horison that can do slow mo in quality?

The cheapest 1000 fps cameras (currently in production) I'm finding are the Chronos cameras, but they're over $4k.

The Chronos 2.1-HD high-speed camera offers an all-in-one, high-definition, high frame-rate solution that empowers data analysis from some of the top R&D and Aerospace facilities, Universities, and Media Producers in the world.

If you can find a Sony RX100 Mark IV, that would be the cheapest option, used. It does not store frame-by-frame (it compresses the video) and it looks like it can only record a 2-second burst.

$4k?!
Man I need a new frigging job

You probably already have such a camera in your pocket. Most newer smartphones can do at least 120 fps and many can do 240 fps. Plenty fast enough to see the pellet in flight when you slow it down. Just need a phone scope mount.

Thanks for posting this. RX100s are ubiquitous amongst photo buffs, we have three of them for odd occasions. Never thought about high speed video. Happy homework ahead!

How about the Sony ZV-1?

Resurrecting the thread, I still didn't solved any of my tinkering yet.
Yesterday I checked, my Samsung S23 camera doesn't have high frame per second recording, the DSLR Canon what I have a full lens set is way too heavy to mount on the scope, the tactacam I see discontinued the production (as much I understand)...
What else I could come up to check if my pellets tuning orckscrewing @ 100? without spending a $ >800 on a camera what would have no other use?

Do it at night. Get one of the $20 focusable LED flashlights and place it next to you, trained downrange onto your target. The skirt will illuminate nicely and it will be easy to see any potential spiraling through the scope.

My gunclub closes the "digital" gates half an hour before sunset, if we not careful lot of people need to be moved in order to exit.
I saw earlier some people mark the skirt or bottom of the projectile with fluorescent, I may try that.
Late afternoons the sun goes around to my back, will see if that helps?

Are you positive your S23 doesn't at least have 240 fps slow motion capability? I use a galaxy S20FE much older than your S23 and it does a true 240FPS slow motion. Read the manual for your S23, I bet it is there, just not patently obvious how to select the option, I had to read my manual to figure it out.

 

[bigHUN]

S23 video options:
8K - 60 fps
UHD - 30 fps
FHD
HD

Also it says things about High Efficiency videos, High Bitrate and HDR10, Super Slow Mo and Slow Mo, but doesn't say anything about frames per second... probably not to bother ordinary people with math ;(

 

[nervoustrig]

Super Slow Mo and Slow Mo

Two levels beyond normal speed (30fps) suggests it does at least 120fps which is plenty to pick up spiraling.

 

[bigHUN]

Only to figure how to trigger a recording start/stop
goggle doesn't really like my english pronunciation for voice commands ...

You can easily see spirals on low magnification. A muzzle brake helps a lot too.

...low magnification...Mike

I have it in my mind for long time ... what if ? ... spiraling is actually making the famous flyers?
I remember for sure , that most my flyers are at Right and a bit high ...
I my gun club earlier I could not test it... placing any of my other target sheets a foot (or two) in front or behind fixed target...per say @ 100 meters (range rules).
I prefer this 100M distance because we can actually read the flyers clearly.
So, my tinkering is with Twist Rate and Speed ratio.

 

[thomasair]

The flyers are spirals.
