slow motion setup

Hey buddy, I recently purchased, set up and tested the Side-Shot. I have an Eagle Vision/Casio Exlim combo and this has huge advantages over that setup. (See my recent post on this forum)
​In answer to your ?, 720/240 is just fine for seeing the pellet. (I used this setting and now am 1080/240) The secret is focus and lighting. Make sure parallax is correct, and you will get better results with light from behind and a contrasting background. Also, scope power setting has an effect. On lower power, the pellet is in focus through more of it's flight while on higher powers, the pellet does not come into focus until after the apex of it's flight. (mine is @ 20x to 24x for example) I have used Android and Apple IOS, with both yielding these results. In short, go buy one...best thing out there...for now.

That is a great video! I spent all day looking at set ups for scope cams and your's is so crisp and you havn't spent $1000. I almost considered trying a gopro6 but mounting seemed like an issue. After seeing your video I am thinking about mimicking. Thanks for posting.

I use 1080p 120fps through the Open Camera app with my Motorola Z2 Force Droid and Side-Shot. This captures the pellet in flight when slowed down in editing, but not great.

If I use my phone camera by itself at 720p 240fps, the pellet is clearly visible with smoother slow motion, but not as crisp in resolution. Also my phone camera doesn't have manual focus so it usually has the reticle not in clear focus. Where through the app, I can lock the focus on the reticle and things look great.

I started with a camera with flip up screen behind the scope, but I like the Side-Shot mount a lot better.

I really like Filmic Pro (phone / tablet app). It has the ability to manually focus, plus manual exposure, set frame rate, etc. You can use the manual focus function to adjust focus on the reticle and then use the scope focus wheel to get clear focus on your target.

I tried filmic Pro first, but it was full of bugs, locking up all the time, crashing, etc. I never got one decent shot with it unfortunately.
