Vortex Optics bullet cam

There is actually software that will stabilize the image and remove rotation, some guys fired a GoPro out of a potato cannon in a 3D printed 'bullet'. Can't remember the URL, but I found it surfing YouTube the other day.

Found it. About the 7:45 mark, they get into the anti-rotation software. Kinda neat video.

That's the one. Made me look twice at the Hornady AFJ. Had to find the give-aways, like cutting off before the camera shot entered the barrel, generic workplace footage, etc.

OK....so here is another couple of questions that disprove this to me....even before they admitted it's April fools.

1. What sort of frame rate would you need for this? Some of the best bullet impact videos I have seen were in the 1,000,000 frame rate area. All the super high frame rate cameras I have seen were quite large and required high amounts of light....aka...daylight was not sufficient for the camera. So how do you get a 1,000,000 Frames per second camera so small and to work with daylight only.

2. I have not seen anyone make a camera...artillery or otherwise.....than can survive the G-forces of a fired round. A typical rifle round experiences 50,000 G's based on the research I have found. I don't know of any camera's that can survive that.

Too bad, would have been an excellent sales tool for gun rental. I would pay it
