Tactacam 5.0 Video Rifle and Crossbow Test

As I stated in a earlier article, I purchased the Tactacam 5.0 with Scope or barrel mount. It takes a while to charge a battery so for another 20 dollars I bought a second battery. I like this product to film my own hunts. This article focuses on the standard 3x zoom vs 8x zoom on rifle and crossbow.

Tactacam 5.0 Video Standard 3x Zoom

I am shooting a .375 Ruger with the Tactacam attached to the top of the riflescope. Here the target is at 100 yards and looks small to me. If I were videoing a deer hunt shot sequence.  I could not see details at that distance with this setting but the picture at the 4K setting is great. Older PC’s have difficulty with it but mine does not and it is youtube compatible. There is a Tactacam App that I put on my I phone and it syncs fine once you choose the correct wi-fi setting.

This Sequence below is at 8X Zoom. Much better detail at 100 yards.

 

Zoom test is best at longer range.

I like the easy on/off and light weight of the Tactacam. I installed a 128 gigabyte micro SD card. According to the instruction manual, this should give me 2.5 hours of video.

Am I impressed? Yes! Great purchase so far? You do have to read and follow the manual to get the  most out of it!

Good Hunting and Video!
