Video Camera to record your shooting

[Sporky]

Somebody had a really cheep GoPro knockoff at the FW practice last night. (sorry I am bad with names )
I was wondering what the name of that was so I can get one to record my shooting so hopefully I can get better ( Lord knows I need it )

Thanks

There is always this one, which is a knockoff of this. It's no GoPro, but it's also 1/2 the price (or less when on sale).

That was Corey, he said he got it at Menards. Iirc he said it was <$30.

For that price, it seems competitive.

Thanks!
I did go to Menards and didn't see any. I did some comical filming on my phone yesterday, but the wind made sure I got great shots of the pretty blue sky!

We ordered one at work just to compare it to the Hero 3+ Black. Maybe I'll do up a review with some comparison footage.

Anyone else have any suggestions? I can't find the ones that were at Menards. I did some cell phone recording and posted it to youtube, but figuring out how to hold that thing up when I am practicing by myself is a pain is the arse. I don't want to spend a ton of money, I'm still working on getting set up for 3gun.

In my opinion, the iPhone takes pretty good video. I did get a goPro, but the phone worked just fine. Best wishes!

I'm using the sony HDR-AS15. Check it out too.

Good call that seems like a good choice I will be checking that out for sure

Yea, that was me. The ones I had were Sharper Image Action Cams. I think Menards was closing them out which is why they were so cheap. Not near as good as a go pro, but i wont be afraid of setting one up down range either

Thank you Sir!
Are you happy with the quality of the videos?
I just want it good enough to record my practices so I can have others look at it to give me ideas on improving.

One thing to look for on each cam is how good are their image stabilization.

Thats the exact one! It seemed to do ok on the brief testing I gave it. Im gonna try to remember one of them Sunday and get it set up on a tripod down range to get a little different view to see how it works. The field of view on them is pretty terrible I know that. I had to set it up like 12-15 feet away from me o get my whole body into the frame.

I have a Tachyon HD that I record all my matches and hunts with. Not sure how much it costs, my mom got it for my birthday, but I love it. It comes with a picatinny mount, scope mount, and hat clip. I don't have any videos from it that I can put on here, but I'm thoroughly impressed with it. The only thing is I wish it was waterproof.
