On Saturday I started using a similar camera for matches. I mount it on my hat to cover pistol shooting as well. I still have some kinks to work out...

I think a sporting clay challenge or a bowling pin speed test at various ranges should be fun to record.

It would make for some fun and creative competition videos amongst the hive.

You have to be frickin' kidding me. That is incredible. I never imagined stuff like this was around.
I guess I have to buy one for the hell of it.

Well I can't help but add, that is cool and very ingenious....but I will have to throw my own gun cam mount footage in on this one.....it is a prototype I am working on.....

Awesome! I bought one off Ebay. 10 bucks and free shipping.

Did you mount it to the top of your guns or could it also shoot watchable video if it was on its side?

Might need to get one of those on my SHTF rifle, so when "IT" pops off I can run back to my Bug Out Location and post video's of how awesome & tacti-coolI really am!

I don't know that I would trust your eyes because that is not an ARMS mount

I bought that knock off for $20 off a gun show since I am pretty sure it's no worse

The Muvi is what you seek. Google Muvi.

It appears that the unit can take the recoil. This is a great experiment. There are helmet cams and such that are over 80 bucks.

A night vision one would rock as well. Or at least be sensitive to IR light.

Most cameras are sensitive to IR, just not to a degree where the image can be enhanced at range by it. Point your TV remote at your cell phone camera and press a button on it.

Mine mounts to the side or under the barrel no problem, I just use software to tilt the movie to the correct orientation later. If you don't have the software, just rotate your monitor

i love the sound the drum makes when his scope hits it. "GOOONG, GOOONG!" that looks super fun.

Well done, dude. I'll have to give that a "shot".

Where can you find a cheap mount that will work with camera fob?

Thanks

Mounting the cam on a hat or on your head allows you to see more of what you are doing.

Here.

Mine won't record without the SD card.

Wow! I didn't know how much stuff there could possibly be on this little thing! I didn't even know there was a difference in Micro SD's. I hope I got the right one.

That instruction that came with it was the best. Everything was press "long time", the whole office was doing chinese accent with the word "long time"..... until we pissed off a chinese guy, we had to stop before HR comes in

I got mine today as well, relatively happy with it, but I can't figure out how to set the time. I downloaded the little program in the link to do it, but it doesn't work. Anyone have any other ideas?

*ETA* Nevermind, got it.

I've been looking at the glasses for quite a while. This was the best price I could find.

I had Version 3 of the camera. You download this template:

Template

Correct the time, copy it to the root directory on the camera, unplug the camera from the computer, Turn it off, leave it off for about 5 seconds, turn it back on, and viola.

I've got you beat by a little under $10:
