What camera is everyone using for scope-cam filming? I assume that the Casio brand of HS cameras are very popular due to the Casio specific rings sold in EagleVision's scope-cam kits. Just thought I'd see what else is out there.

I use a nikon s9700. It does 240fps @ 320x 240fps (same as Casio I believe).
I use the Seben camera mount I ordered from Ebay.

I'm using a Casio also but found my iPhone 6+ is easier to use and has built in slow motion and editing

I bought a used Canon SX230 shooting at 240fps on Amazon a couple of years ago. Think I paid about $120 for it.
For the mount I use the Celestron camera mount same as the Seben.
Here is a link to a crow shoot I used the set up on a few years back. It was just before dawn. If you look closely you can see the pellet's trajectory.

Ya, it isn't cheap at $948 but it looks like it can do some great slow-mo videos. And as far as I know it's the only camera that can do it with that kind of resolution for less than $1000.00. Oh it's a nice camera too.

Another thread on the same question: http://airgunnation.dev/topic/scopecam/
I use Canon Powershot N with hacked firmware that lets me have a very compact 3D printed adapter (virtually zero eye relief).

Somebody needs to make a scope that is a camera. No more fooling around with those goofy brackets.

Hi Skygear,
Happy to help, but not sure what you are asking. I did an overview of my scope cam setup here.
Also, I think there is a bug in your binary. Should not it be:
01001111 01101000 00100000 01111001 01100101 01100001 01101000 00100001 00100000 01010010 01100101 01100001 01101100 00101000 01010100 01100001 01101100 01101011 00101110 00101110 00101110?

Photon XT is a NV scope with video out. It's black and white.
I imagine someone is working on a digital scope with video out or built in capture that is HD.
Something like http://www.atncorp.com/x-sight-night-vision-rifle-scope-3-12x
No mention of Slow Motion but I don't think its too far off.
I have the same camera as Greg. It does slow motion but I don't think it's 240 fps. I'll need to check

Yep, it does 240 fps at 320x240. I find that 120fps (640x480) fits my needs though. My "Needs' being - finding answers to questions like "WTF has just happened there? I thought I had everything perfect". When I get some time I'll put together a video of head-scratchers that previously would go into "unsolved mystery pile". When those happened before - at best - I'd miss the target and learn nothing. At worst - I'd get a wrong idea and waste time searching for black cats in a dark rooms (which were not there to be found anyway).
Now, every time I have a scope cam ON while shooting, and a "mystery" happens - I am able to find an answer, and learn a ton. Every single time.
So, I agree with those who said before that the next frontier in scope technology appears to be in making them 'smart', which would include recording the shot for later analysis. Sure, the beauty of simplicity is lost in the process of going higher-tech, but same can be said when going from iron sights to optical sights, or ... a club to bow and arrow

Cool, I've used the new firmware but I'm having issues.. I'll have to dive into the menu further."greg"

Thanks. Hadn't seen the video.
No, The binary I posted is correct. Adding the 1 in that spot would be a single (

I just purchased the ZR1100, only had time to try it out several times and just experimenting on different speeds. I think 480 fps is pretty cool to look at, but the picture is way to grainy. 240 fps seems to be a happy medium. Another issue I have is to damn bright in Arizona. Even being in the shade, I need to make some type of cover over the screen to be able to see it better. Could be my old ass eyes as well. The camera works great as a backup pocket camera to my larger Sony A6000 . Wonder if anyone uses a view finder? This is my set up.
