Just wondering what y'all are using to film ELR shots. I've been using a JVC SD card camcorder from Best Buy. Definitely nothing special or fancy. Any input or experience is appreciated

Create a channel Learn moreI've done some looking at the phone adapters, but don't know anyone that uses one. I have a Zeiss 20-60x85 spotter that I could use to film with an adapter. I filmed myself shooting at 168 yds with just the JVC camera, but it wasn't anything to write home about. It was just good enough to see the steel move.
Cool vids!! So all said and done, a TargetCam seems a good deal!this setup to film cost 450$ camera 300$ gopro a few years back and a decent! 150$ tripod

I use a Panasonic seems to work fairly well at 2-3000.
Latest efforts, a few more on my You tube channel

what model exactly ? mines the 80x zoom hc-520 but now they have out newer models with 90x zoom ...but i usually only use 70x anyway anything past 60x zoom is digital and starts to blur too much..
nice vid think i stumbled across it on tube a while ago haha
Thanks Scotty.
Not sure which model, I've had it for a year or two...
You probably haven't seen that vid before only made it last Sunday with my new CEB 450 grain .375 Lazers
really ? haha you havnt got another vid very similar then ?
i personally dont see the need for using one becuase i can see where ive hit through a spotting scope for me its just for making videos ...and if thats all your after i think gopro are onto a pretty good thing because the camera has multiple uses ..also im looking at buying a gopro hero 3 for recording 720p at 120fps witch im hoping will give some cool slow motion target came videos..
my brother does fpv rc quadcopter flying he could set up a gopro target cam for cheaper then those target camera kits and youll have a gopro in the end
another thought if your running a target camera for your videos... then maybe zoom for your firing camera isn't as necessary as having a higher fps for catching the bullet trace on film ...just another thing to think about
My spotter and I like to use a 5" Meade refractor or an 8" Meade reflector telescope with a .5" CCD astronomical camera for ELR filming and photos. The resolution and magnification are extra awesome and the programmable motorized mounts make it easy to go from one target to the next. We also use a plain ol' iPhone 5 for the close-up filming.
I'd like to see some footage from this setup. Sounds pretty awesome.

Hello ELR fanatics. Funny you guys have been discussing filming ELR over here because we've been talking about some of this with our product lately. I'd like to talk to some of you guys about this. We're going to be doing some filming with Jake of JC Steel Targets and thought we could all compare notes etc of the best setup. We're also going to be filming a TV show and some commercials later this next week so I'd like to talk to you ASAP.
Please call me directly at (775)901-9999. That's my cell phone call anytime between 8AM and 11PM Pacific.
I've been needing to do some good quality filming for a long time so it's high on my priority list. Oh, that's some nice footage you made Belgian. I sent you a PM just now. I'm in Reno and our TV thing is going to be filmed here over the next few weeks so drop me a line.
We have experimented some with digitizer for our system and I'd like to figure out the best setup to offer our customers. I'd like to be able to offer a good affordable solution to everyone.
haha awesome believe it or not but my brother and i where talking of doing the exact same thing very soon! he's building a octocopter that can carry my panasonic camera his starting to make youtube videos of his rc flights so we were going to incorporate it into shooting vids also ..heres his chanel and some of his rc vids https://www.youtube.com/user/sgBT182/videoswe're doing some filming this weekend with a quad copter with a GoPro mounted onto it. This is being filmed for a new TV show that is being filmed out here. The quad copter footage is being used to show an aerial view of the perspective of the long range shots - give the viewer an idea of the distance. Putting this footage together with the filming of the shooter and then the shots on target through our TargetCam system will make some good TV footage. After the show airs I'll post it on our website and will link to it so you can see it. The quad copter is pretty cool piece of equipment. The producer of the show has 2 of them and I've had a chance to fly them some....thinking of getting one myself.
Any idea when it will air or be posted? I'm thinking seriously about buying a drone myself.
The TV show that we're sponsoring should air in a month is what I'm being told. This TV show is starting out as a local N. Nevada thing to test the market. If it does well here it could get picked up for syndication across the country. Either way, I'm going to get some good footage of our TargetCam system being used with some pretty high end equipment. I'll post it on our website as soon as I'm able.
The quadcopters....from the limited time I've spent researching them....these are the two purpose built for hauling a Gopro in the $375-$500 range:
Blade 350 QX - Amazon.com: 350 QX RTF Firmware 2.0 with SAFE: Toys & Games
DJI Phantom or the Phantom II: http://www.amazon.com/DJI-Phantom-Aerial-Drone-Quadcopter/dp/B00AGOSQI8
they have GPS tracking, powerful enough to lift Gopro, different functions like hover, return to home...etc. They are very easy and stable to fly since they self stabilize and use the GPS to do some of the navigational stuff for you.
quadcopters are sort of a geek toy so I'm trying to justify getting one by telling myself I could use it for business.
