novice cushie shooter Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Nice right and left at duck. If possible try and slow your head movement a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay404 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thank you . I never noticed how much I moved my head until I videoed it haha Nearly slowed the videos down when I edited them but couldn't get it look right so I didn't bother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
novice cushie shooter Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 I find it hard using a go pro when im doing walked up as im constantly on the lookout for any movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yep, stopped looking after a couple of minutes as the constant movement got me dizzy, but all these Go Pro videos are the same unfortunately, recording the slightest movement and of course if your shooting your constantly scanning the sky. I hate all that noise from beaters, totally unnecessary if the keeper knows his job. The same as shouting between guns. That apart, pleased you enjoyed your day. Richard does do his best to set things up right. What's that long piece of whatever on the muzzle of your shotgun? Not referring to the extended choke .. looks like some sighting set up.

jay404 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Yeah I'm thinking of getting a gun mount for it instead or possibly slowing the video down and edit them shorter to lose some of the movement . And the sight on top of my gun is a easy hit luminous bead I found it helps me pick the target up easier . And as guest I just went with the flow the noise never bothers me might of been because there was only a few beaters but they worked well as a team so cannot fault them .

JDog Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 The beaters were noisy but I would rather have enthusiastic and noisy beaters than none at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the lad a break, it's his first video & I think sometimes people are very quick to judge without appreciating the time & effort that goes into making & editing the videos. The beaters sounded like a Native American tribe at one point lol, but the original poster could hardly do anything about that. Keep the videos coming fella!!!

Walker570 Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Agree absolutely Ollie. Re read what I wrote and it did sound a bit harsh BUT if you watch any of these go pro videos of shooting, it is very difficult not to have this problem and I am sure he realised that as soon as he reviewed it. I cannot se any way around it. By the nature of what you are doing, your head is swinging from side to side looking for birds. A barrel mounted camera with a thumb operated switch to use as you mount the gun might work. Not easy at all. The main thing was he enjoyed his day.

Duffryn Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 The video is a record of your day and you are there to enjoy the shooting first and foremost. Removing the head movement interferes with your days shooting and takes a lot of practice. Mounting the camera on the gun will give you little more than Shotkam type footage and won't capture the day, banter , others shooting etc. For a first video I thought this was great, thanks for taking the time to edit and post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokersmith Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Agree with the positive comments .. By cutting down the 'inbetween' sections, you'll get a smoother, and shorter edit ... ideal for posting on here ... More killer, less filler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make videos with a head cam too & it is difficult sometimes to concentrate on shooting & the camera; however, I think we are lucky in this day & age that we have all this technology to make videos that we wouldn't have had 10 years ago.

Walker570 Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Agree 100% Ollie. Mind people yattering on mobiles when good birds are flowing over them does make me just a touch mad ..often with the shotgun laid across their arms and all I can see are two black holes.
