Dirt Naps

"plinker"Yes. iPhone 6 in slo-mo setting!
Nice shooting plinker

I've been wanting to use my iPhone 6 as a scope cam. Was this recording at 240 frames per second? If yes then I wonder why we can't see the pellet in flight. As I understand even the Casio cameras that everyone uses records at 240 frames and the pellet in flight is clearly visible. 
 
FearnLoading. It is recording in 240fps, however there is a motion blur when the gun is fired. That may be for only 24 frames(tenth of a second?)but if the shot is within 30 yards (90 ft) and the pellet is going ~ 900 feet/second, and the camera records 240 frames/second the pellet may be moving too fast or there is no light reflected from the rear. I'm not a mathematician or a pcp expert, but I think the pellet is picked up as it slows in longer shots when the jarred camera has returned to still and there is plenty of flight time left for the pellet to reach the target and reflective light from the rear??? 😳 Can any one else shed more light😬. In a lot of my shots you see the dirt fly up behind the squirrel before the squirrel barely moves. THAT PELLET is long gone😎

The problem with iPhone Slow motion is that other video players cannot play the format correctly. The player doesn't know what to do with the extra ~216 frames in a second so it just dumps them. 
I do this conversion in Adobe Elements and not on the iPhone so don't hold my feet the fire but this should work.

Open the slow motion video in iMovie on your phone, then click on the Share Icon and select new movie. Once the new movie is created , click on the back button and click the share icon again and select save video in HD 720. Now you can export/share that video. What this does, is it converts a 1 second at 240 fps video to 10 seconds at 24 fps which is a format other players/codex expect and can handle.
