Tactacam first outing

Hi Hawkeye, can you go over your setup, which Tactacam, photos of how its set up and installed, things like that. I'm interested in getting one of those...

Mike


I'll try to do that later. Let me know if you're interested. I found a good source and got the FTS kit, along with an extra battery, a dual charger, 64 GB SD card, and the remote control for $530.00 with free shipping. I ordered it on Thursday and received on Saturday.

Hello, and good afternoon

I watched your video , and like to buy a whole set.

Will you kindly send me your source.

With Regards

Larian


I bought it from Fox Optic. I never heard of them so I called Tactacam directly and they gave them a good rating. I also called Fox Optic and talked to the owner. Just to be safe I used my credit card through PayPal for a little extra protection. I received it as ordered in just two days, no problems at all.

This looks like a much more affordable version than the side shot/GoPro and I don’t have to dedicate one of my GoPros to it. Is it easy to set up and any issues with the camera itself?


It works great and the setup was easy. No issues with the camera and the image is clear looking through the scope. I have had some difficulty with settings on the phone app but once set you tend to leave it anyway, so no big deal. I looked at other systems but I don't own a Go-Pro so I'd have to factor that into the cost, in which case I probably wouldn't have save much, if anything. Be aware that some scopes, like my Athlon with a top mounted IR, will not work with the Tactacam FTS. They have some videos on their website that you can check out.

Thanks for the feedback. I have been watching videos on them today and it looks like a great setup. I’m going on a bear hunt in September and I hope to have one before then.


I bought from Fox Optic for $530 with extras at no cost and free shipping. I received it in 2 days. Check them out...

Tactacam 5.0 with FTS. Posted a two-fer ground squirrel video last week, but didn’t record a 120 fps rate, so slo-mo wasn’t good. I’ll do a separate post after I’ve used it for a couple weeks.
