Hi, guys! Thank you for your question! I'm here, just the airgun Varmint and BR on 100 meters competitions are coming up every weekend, so too little time to review forums!
Here I will describe RusBear's ScopeCam and answer any questions about it! Hope you will like it, guys!
Just a bit of RusBear's ScopeCam building history. I'm the fan of extremely far (50 - 120 meters is normal) and accurate (4cm (1,5") shooting with my PCP, that's why I'm sure that there is are no trifles in shooting. The problem of video recording through the scope is very familiar to me. I've used Casio exilim for several years to make my videos, but it is not convenient to record video in this way, because you can not shoot as you normally do - the holding of your gun is very different. Another disadvantage is that every time before shooting you've got you have to adjust your camera from the very beginning.
Then I've decided to make universal mount for my Casio camera (there are several analogs in the market as you may know). This mount solved the problem of every time camera set up, but still I could not shoot with normal gun holding and that was the problem.
At the same time I've made the special mount for my camera, that allowed me to set the camera right above the scope. Сamera gave me the opportunity to have 18x optical zoom and up to 48x digital zoom, so I could have good image of the target for at all reasonable distances.
Main purpose of video making through the scope for me is to analyse my mistakes during airgun varmint shooting, so when camera was set above the scope I had to make very difficult video editing to match the target and graphics of scope reticle precisely. This process took a lot of time and was really annoying for me...
RusBear’s ScopeCam Development I've searched through the market and could not find any affordable devices with characteristics good enough for me. That’s why I had to invent my RusBear's ScopeCam. I've tested it in different conditions and situations: winter (-10c (14F) and snow, autumn and rain, summer heat, Airgun Varmint competitions and hunting. Now I can say for sure, that I'm, as a very exigent shooter, satisfied with my invention and it is 3 times cheaper than GoPro Eagle Eye (that does not include camera itself) and in RusBear’s ScopeCam camera itself is included in the package!
RusBear's ScopeCam allows you to shoot as you normally do (usual gun holding) and record very good quality video: 720p 200fps, 1080p 120fps, 2K 60fps and 4K 30 fps.
Here you can find some examples of video recording with RusBear's ScopeCam and full review: 720p 200 fps:
1080p 120fps:
