Any chance you can find a nice female model in tight camo? Watchin you is getting old.
Just my opinion…
You’re obviously subscribed to the wrong blog.
Not sure if you’re trolling or what, but I’m going disagree. Youtube is full of videos like that and they usually seem forced and are entirely uninformative.
As far as the videos points, I may have to dust off my old camera. This seems like a good way to make more of my limited range time and ammo budget.
I think using a camera at home for dry fire practices, particularly draw from holster and magazine changing, could also be of tremendous help. And cheap to boot!
I actually really enjoyed that video, especially the 6 split frames with the timing being a little different in each one. Entertaining.
I’ve been wanting to use high speed filming like this to critique myself for a while now. Would you be willing to divulge which cameras you use particularly for this? I’m most interested in the one that is capable of 1000 fps.
I’ve been considering the Canon ELPH 100HS for it’s capability to shoot at 240 fps and the fact that it is quite affordable. Do you find 240 fps to be adequate for filming shooting, particularly in the area of critiquing technique as well as helping to diagnose malfunctions? Those are the main goals I have in mind for a camera like this.
I appreciate any advice you can give.
Thanks,
Matt
Matt, check out this article I wrote about my 1000fps camera.
The high speed scenes in this video were shot at 210fps, so I’d say that 240fps is even better. I only use 1000fps for slowing down the action of an automatic weapon.
Unless I missed it, there was no mention of the software you use. That is an important part of the equation. I have used even cheap cellphone video to diagnose some inefficiencies in my draw and reload.
That elph 100hs looks like the ticket to affordable high frame rates.
I use very expensive software to do all of my video editing, but the basic capabilities are there in the software included with the cameras.
