SHOTKAM: A Weapon Mounted Video Camera With All the Bells And Whistles

    Designed to help on-the-wing shotgun hunters and sporting clay shooters, the SHOTKAM is a video camera with a feature set not yet available from other weapon-mounted camera makers. Most impressively, if it works as designed, is the reticle alignment system that attempts to show shooters how far the target should be lead. Intertia activation, high video quality, a barrel mount system and built in wifi also top the list of features.

    Of course, all of this unique technology comes at a cost. Specifically a $695 preorder price. Still interested? Check out the SHOTKAM site for additional information and videos.

    What is more frustrating than when you miss a bird and don’t know why? We believe that shooting is a sport that requires extreme alignment between mind and body. The biggest culprit for unchanging scores is a false perception of why you missed. For years, no technology could help you overcome these obstacles… until ShotKam. ShotKam captures the reality of the shot to give the objective feedback you need in order to make an adjustment. As shooters ourselves, we know what it takes to get to the next level. The way we challenge the game is by making a tool that is simple-to-use, beautifully designed, and worth it’s weight in gold.

     

    SHOTKAM

     

    SLOW MOTION PLAYBACK

    • The playback speed is adjustable – typically 1/4 speed for shotgun and 1/8 speed for bow
    • Videos can be played back frame-by-frame so that even the shot pattern can be seen
    • The videos record 120 frames per second. This equates to one video frame approximately every 3 yards, as the pellets travel towards the target

    PATENTED RETICLE ALIGNMENT SYSTEM

    • This is the red dot or crosshair seen in the videos
    • It is aligned to the gun’s point of aim
    • This reveals how much a target must be led
    • It shows your hold-point, move-to-the-target, break-point, and follow-through

    ACCELEROMETER ACTIVATION

    • No editing required
    • Accelerometer detects when the gun action is closed and starts the video buffering
    • Gun recoil causes the critical time before, during, and after the shot to be saved

    PATENTED SHOCK ABSORPTION

    • The ShotKam is built with military grade materials to withstand the harsh environment of a gun shot (vibration forces to 1,000 Gs)
    • Our shock absorption system produces smooth video recordings
    • The double-layer rubber pads clasp the barrel to prevent metal-to-metal contact

    MSRP – $695
