My first shot using the Tactacam 5 on my FX400. Gotta work on leveling the crosshairs. I just don't like the reticle being so dominate in the video. I usually use a regular video camera on top of my scope. I used both to compare. Which looks better?
Tactacam 5
- Thread starter SDellinger
- Start date
Use the phone app to make sure it's level, need eye relief turned out to bring better focus.

Hey Scott, 
if you get tired of the Tactacam 5, I'll buy it from you! (seriously, I'm looking for one)
And seriously, again: On the two vids:
The one without the crosshairs looked way better, for three reasons:
The quarry in the was about twice the size in the vid without the crosshairs (how it played online).
The scope you use has a grid style reticle, and that takes away some of the beauty of the scene. A simple reticle will be a plus for filming, though not necessary a plus for shooting.
The vid with the crosshairs was darker (probably because filming through the scope takes away light bec. of the lenses).
Question: How did you film the one without the crosshairs? What camera? What zoom setting?
Thanks,
Matthias
