Lloyd90 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 When setting up the shotkam, do you place the red dot on the camera sitting just slightly on top of the bead of the shotgun at say 40 yards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebigH91 Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 when i set the shotkam up i use an MTM gun rest and a target with a cross on it, using the rest i sight the shotgun on the centre of the cross and then using the app i centre the red dot on the cross as well, I find it doesnt need to be too far away either, if its pointing in the same place at say 15 yards it'll be close enough for me at all the distances i could hit anything.

Centrepin Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 I used to put my gun on a rest pointing at the apex of the house opposite. Using the app, adjust the dot to the aim point. It's far enough away to be a shot🤔 I used to find that even after removing it to store, maybe even not fitting it back exactly the same spot it took virtually no adjustment.

Lloyd90 Posted June 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Shot a branch to see if it was working and a load of birds started moving about. Gave this one a bit of lead but no connection. Best imagine I can get on the frame by frame is this one … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotkam Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 Close, but over the top and in front - bird not that fast. Calm that swing down ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centrepin Posted June 30, 2021 Report Share Posted June 30, 2021 There are lots of editing software apps that do frame by frame better than shotkam itself. Just pick one and work with it. This is one I made from a few clips after setting up and finding my ammo was at home. You can take it frame by frame. This can also be analysed frame by frame as it's already in slow mo. Easy enough to do without a laptop and I'm far from computer literate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would be missing behind, it was a good 40+ yards out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have said too much lead as it turned away from you as the shot passed in front of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
