Andrew Quigley SASS #32802 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Lawman Mark uses a little camera ya can clip to your hat or shirt. Bout the size of a bic lighter. Marshall TKD was using some of them sunglass camera things at the last shoot. Don't know how it turned out for him but ya can see Lawman Mark's videos on Youtube.

Curley Cole, SASS #56849 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 There is a video of Heddly Lamar (sp?) floating around shooting some stages at EOT I believe. Pretty cool stuff. curley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 You can see some results here: Powder Creek Cowboys "Cowboycam" If the embedded video cuts off, click on any of the text links below the image and that will take you straight to Youtube.

Texas Jim Henry, SASS #20616 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I was at a match at Badlands Bar 3 (T-Bone Dooley's place) where they were using a pair of glasses with a camera embedded in the frame. It gave you a good sense of target presentation from the shooter's perspective, but I would think a video shot from a 3/4 angle behind the shooter would be more instructive with respect to the shooter's performance. It depends on what you're hoping to gain from watching/evaluating the video. Based on what I've seen from Texas Slim's use, I think the Flip cam mentioned by Jack Houston is an easy, inexpensive way to capture cowboy action shooting on video.

Adirondack Jack, SASS #53440 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Just an FYI, for anyone considering any kind of digital camera, NOW is a good time, and later in the summer may be a real bad time. The reason is parts used to make em will likely dry up as the makers in Japan are gonna be out of business for the time being (along with lots of other stuff).

Marshal TKD, Sass # 36984L Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Howdy I have the Sun Glasstype. It shot very good video. Only hitch in it is that the camera is right between the eyes. So shooting pistols is not a problem. On the rifle and shotgun the camera does not sight down the barrel. Going to try it Turkey hunting on in April. Here is a Video of a stage I shot recorded with the IKAM glasses. The ouch was because I got spenders snaped.

Tame Bill #30699 Life Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 The cameras used to make the Powder Creek Cowboys videos is the Model XTC300 1080p HD Action Camera manufactured by Midland Radio Corp. These are the same cameras Coyote Calhoun was using during Winter Range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 All the videos from Winter Range 2011 shown on my YouTube site are done with a GoPro Hero 1080P camera mounted on my hat or handheld. Older ones are made with a Flip-type. http://www.youtube.com/user/Sportster883C?feature=mhum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 Hat cams and glasses cams and flip cams all sound like interesting alternatives but what about shotcams?? Unless I find some real bargans Im only going to be able to get ons. Thanks CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I been thinking about one of the hat mounted cameras to use on hunting trips. Don't know how well they would work at 50 to 100 yards. Probably not enough detail...anyone got any ideas about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunt Jen Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Well, I am a bit gadgety, myself. They are fun to play with. But, for me, the last thing I'd want at a SASS match is anything high tech. The rustic, get away from it all kind of thing is one of the charms of it, feeling in touch with the old west, freedom from telephone rings, cameras and such. I just want to feel the arms, the dirt under my boots, nature around me, and the idea that people are what you interact with. You know: face to face, like before the internet. It's a respite from a harried life, a re-connection to heritage. I've taken photos sometimes, and I know it's sometimes part of it. But I do like the thought that we can have a great day without them. Just my two bits worth, Aunt Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Aunt Jen - you make a valid point. I do have a Flip Ultra HD camcorder gadget and take videos at most matches now. But not nearly as many as I did when I first got it. While I enjoy taking them and I know people enjoy watching them, if I get too caught up in trying to take video of everyone on every stage, it gets in the way of having fun and being part of the posse and doing chores.

Chili Ron Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Aunt Jen, I suggest you start calling match organizers and have them start advertising 'No Cameras Allowed' at the matches you attend. See how folks go along with that. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hedley, Lou Graham stage 7, what was the background song? I like it! The song is "Out in the West" from the disc of the same name. The band called "The Indulgers" from Colorado. http://www.shamrocker.com/ http://astore.amazon.com/shamrocker-20/detail/B000G7R0BY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margarita Villain Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I have taken quite a few videos with mine now, but I only have one on my utube channel. Its taken with the Midland XTC100. Bought it at fry's for $90. Its about the size of a "D" cell battery. Its simple on/recording - off switch is nice. Uses two AAA bats. I attatched it to my hat band with velcro wire loop strips. I'd like to get it under the brim, so I can still use it in the rain. http://www.youtube.com/user/TheMargaritaVillain?feature=mhum#p/u/6/Lp9EMvPPbpo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tame Bill #30699 Life Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 MV, A hat/brim mount is available for the XTC100/200/300 series Midland Extreme Action Cameras as well as a waterproof/submerisble case. PM me for the details. Tame Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
