I watched this video from the position of walking the walk. As you know, I spent lots of time researching and building what was not available in order to have solid scope camera footage. You did an excellent job not only engineering the components to allow you to realize your vision but you did an excellent job narrating, editing, and capturing what is necessary for the up and coming scope cam operators to add to the video catalogs. Thoroughly enjoyed it, my friend.
absolutely amazing video brother. Keith and I were just going to do this same video last Friday but we didn't. you did an awesome job explaining it all. you my friend are a genius and I am honored to not only know you but to be able to call you my buddy
Oh Norm, The honor is mine! You are family and it's weird that even without having the chance to meet personally I feel I know you for long long time. It's amazing you guys were thinking doing this while I was recording I recorded this last Friday!
Oh My goodness this was spot on, absolutely perfect overview and installation. We should give you an award, I cannot thank you enough for helping others afford a great little Scope Cam Setup. I will be so glad to get that stupid iPhone off of my scope.
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter LOL yes you are correct, it took me a minute or so to figure out the install, but after looking at it, it made sense on how the adapter would be fastened to the side shot. I will let you know how my scope footage turns out, I will probably upload it to my TH-cam Page. th-cam.com/video/5zQxLdwDib0/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for all you have contributed to us airgunners, I just mounted my Orion Adapter and my FireFly 8se, excellent combo and easy to install on the Side-Shot. I will test the footage this weekend to see how good it is. Can't wait to see, wish it was not dark out when I get home from work. Oh Well just have to have patients until Saturday ( :
Thank you for making this video. I just set up my Firefly in the OrionCam. Following the steps you explained made it a fairly straightforward task. I don’t have an external monitor, so while the camera was recording I changed the diopter ring, measured the gap and said it out loud. I continued adjusting the ring about 0.5mm until I was about 7mm out. Then I played the recording on the computer and was able to determine what the best adjustment was in 1 take. On the Helix, it looked best to me with a gap of 5.5mm.
I'm so happy the video was useful for you and you were able to make it work. Thanks for sharing your feedback. The way you did your alignment without monitor is how I used to do it also until one day I decided to buy an external monitor, I can use that one also for my videos so it was a win-win
Maaaan, where was this video when I bought my go pro scope cam a year ago......lol!?? Great video, and very good info. I can attest to what you say because all the info here is what i had to figure out over the last year. And your assessment of scope quality is spot on but, I might add, that it might be possible the even not all EXPENSIVE scopes will work with every scope cam just because the scope is expensive. Even the guys with ELEMENT scopes say the cheapest scope they offer seems to have clearer scopecam images than the more expensive Element scopes. I look forward to your future finding.
Oh man, I've been tempted to buy the GoPro, but with the queality I'm getting out of this little camera is hard to justify that much money in something that will be used for just scope cam :( You are right, just because the scope is expensive doesn't mean the glass is great, also you can find scope that have great glass and affordable price, typically 1K+ scopes have great glass, but what really matter when filming is the glass, even the tracking and all that stuff is not relevant, if you are not dialing, I'll probably talk about scopes in another video! Thanks for the comment, and the question is.... are you happy with your GoPro?
I have received and installed my FireFly 8se adapter onto my Side-Shot cam mount. Very easy install and works great. Just follow Orion The Iguana Hunter's install and settings and a little fine adjustment and you should be good to go at a reasonable cost. Now my scope I have is the Optisan EVX 6-24X50F1 (MIL-F1MH24) it works great on it, the only thing is that I need to do a little fine tuning on the focus to make the video more clear, it is pretty clear now but if I adjust the AO setting for my eye site through the scope it is clear but the video is just a little bit blurry. Its not bad and will work fine but I think I can get it so that it will be perfect. Also the video quality looks a little better if I stay around 16x on the scope instead of turning it up to full 24x, for the money it is well worth the cost compared to the price of a Side-Shot with a GoPro already setup. A GoPro setup can cost between $700 to $1250 depending on how you purchase it. The FireFly 8se will only cost $350 at the most. A great savings and very good video as well.
A scope is the most important thing you will put on your gun so pleas don't skimp on it save up and get the beat you can, you will always be able to move it from one to the next as you out grow guns you keep your scope... 🥃cheers🍻
I agree 100% there was a time I could have bought the 2k rifle everyone talks about but I decided to split that money and buy a very good scope and a 1K rifle, and I got the Taipan, the Taipan is now gone but the scope still with me. Love this Toric!
That's what's up! I'm still saving up for my top of the line scope but just like with my new FX-Impact its day will come and I will not be disappointed 😉 thanks for sharing and good luck on the next hunt / video edit 😁
Great video my friend. Very informative indeed. I think when I set up my system I will be using the Eagle Vision system as well. Big advantage using the Fire Fly camera too not having to purchase an extra lenses like the Go Pro. Thanks for the info bud. This will save me time, money, and most importantly frustration. God bless.
Good evening, I bought a piece like this, but unfortunately the image on my scopecam sidechot didn't look good, it's not easy to leave the image the same as the video, as I did everything the same as the video, but it didn't work, if there is any other way what should I do, please show me, the part of the piece that fits into the scopcam to center it, it came thinner, so the piece was theoretically only centered by the screws, if you can, can you show another way of how the image can be the same as the one? from the video, show me
thank you so much it was a long time since I was looking for a video that would explain in an exhaustive way a method to film WELL through the optics of the rifle. really nice video good, well done and thanks again

Thanks a lot!! The adapter is good if you have side shot already. My OrionCam system will give really nice clean image. Any questions reach out and I'm here to help
any idea how i can change firmware. I tried on their app, i tried ambrella EVK firmware, i tried to delete all files on sdCard and put V115 version but it doesn’t work. Thanks
Hello good video!! , my questions are... That firefly camera records in slow camera at 250 fps?, and that eaglevision mount serves for my scope (hawke sidewinder 6.5-20x42) ??
Hello Orion, Wow, ... great video on the technical aspects of settling up a scope video camera. What was best was explaining all the details. In “detail”...! This part of the sport usually is never fully explained and the video viewer is left fumbling for the real details. Again, Thanks for your Channel and happy hunting.... Skywagon
Awesome video my friend thanks for all the good info I really enjoyed it and this will definitely help me out thanks for sharing these tips bsafe my friend
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter ok thanks i would buy a bunch of stuff from you but I'm laid off at the moment cause of the covid virus but ill be back at work in the beginning of December God willing 🙏
Love the videos. Couple of questions: 1. This video is 1.5 years old. Still using the same or is there an update? 2. What Range Finder do you use or would recommend? 3. Sometimes I see range on the Scope Video. Is this added afterwards or does the video record it real-time? 4. What Scope do you use/recommend? I am currently trying to decide which Airgun to get. Would Like to get the Daystate Alpha Wolf with both 22 and 30 cal. However, I may just settle with the Brocock Commander XR .22 Magnum. Also looking at Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN2 6-24x50 APLR2 FFP IR MOA Scope for the Brocock, not sure what I would get with Daystate. Thanks for all your wonderful work. Oh, not sure if I will ever get to South Florida to hunt Iguana with you, but just curious. Other than TH-cam, how are you paid for removing these Iguana, by each, weight, job, etc? Does it pay well enough for a job even without TH-cam?
Hi Frank, Here are the answer to your questions: 1. There's an update. I'm using now the OrionCam, a 3D printed scope cam that I developed. Check link to my online store on the video description. 2. I use a Sig Sauer Kilo 2200 BDX. I like these because they have ballistic calculation with them, so when I range I not just see the yards but also how many clicks I have to adjust. 3. I add the range on the video because some of my viewers are asking for it. 4. Here you don't want to listen to me, I'm a glass addict because I want the best video I can get. I have 2 scopes on the $3K range, you don't need that. The last gun I put together was my RTI Compact and I have to order a scope for the gun having here very expensive ones, but what I learn by doing that is the scope should match the gun, I had a very lightweight gun that it didn't make any sense to me to add a very heavy scope. I ended up ordering an Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 4-20x50 and I'm very happy with that scope, but again the scope world is huge and it will be very hard to recommend a single scope, it will depend on your setup, tell me what is your gun configuration and I can give you an idea with the scopes, because I love scopes more than guns :) On the subject for the guns, you are looking into some heavy heaters there. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those setups you are mentioning there, just take in consideration the length and weight of the gun if you are shooting on the bench or walking around, a long and heavy gun won't do well on my iguana hunting outings, a lot of walk! Look into the Athlon Helos BTR I mentioned above, I think it will be lighter than the Argos, but again, I got that because it was small but nice magnification range. When I go out hunting I don't charge for that, I do it for free to upload videos, I don't have a pest control company or anything like that, some people I see on TH-cam do charge or they have a company for this, I just started my 3D printed site and I offer there the same products I use on my videos! Hope I answered the questions and if there's anything else I can help let me know, who knows if your question can become a video!
Its so much easier for using a smart phone to watch the videos, you don't need to transfer anything on the computer to watch it so if you have a setup for a Android smart phone I will buy one.
Awesome video Erlis now you need to make a video on editing I have loads of footage and can.t figure out how to put it all together Great Job My Friend
*This*. This is really really good info man - thank you very much for sharing! I have the exact same camera and as you are likely aware - I purchased your adapter. I was actually going to e-mail you re: how do I mount it? ( lol ) Now I know. Thanks!!
Thank you, I purchased the camera and your adaptor. It took a while to get everything. I just set it up. Have done a few recordings. My problem is the image is reversed. The numbers are backward on the playback. Pellets that are flying to the R appear to be going left on the video. Mirror image. What setting am I missing. Help appreciated. Bert
Hello, I tried to buy the adaptor for the side shot from the link you provided but i won't allow me to buy it because it doesn't ship to my country ( Egypt). can i buy the file and print it on 3d printer?
Watched you twice out with Jessica, found this video extremely interesting. You just got a new subscriber. PS. I would encourage you to do a video on editing for 2 reasons: One, I doubt any subscriber would un-subscribe over one video (I know I would not do that). Two, you might pick up new subscribers who found you when searching for 'how to edit videos'
Will do. Already did a video about how to avoid the 10 common mistakes while filming with the scope. I added few editing tricks on that video, and I think more videos like that could be very helpful
I was all set to put down the $$$ for the Eaglevison GoPro setup until I found your video. Just want to clarify one point, and The OrionCam that is offered on your site eliminates the need for any adapters and the Firefly 8 SE 90 degree fits in directly? Does the monitor that you are recommending make the setup that much easier? Excellent & very informative Video as always!!
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter I have been watching TH-cam more since I got into PCP Airguns, and I finally settled on a FX Impact NKII after watchful many good and some not so good videos. In the end, the performance counts but so does the customer service. FX owners and people who appreciate them like to help others learn about them. You are one example of a great video due to the content and your fast customer service that you early see these days. Keep up the great work!
Hi, Thank you for this great video! I have a question: I have the same set-up as yours. I only have the following problem: Every time I focus my parralax, the image is clear when I look through the scope, but the images on the camera are blurred. When I then focus the parralax on the screen of the camera, the image is clear on the camera, but not when I look through the scope. Do you know what I can do about this? Kind regards, Dimitri
Hi Dimitri, You are correct but I'll show you a trick on how I do it. Basically the idea is to find the balance where the image on the camera is good and the image on your eye is acceptable to the point where you can see. With some scopes this work better than with others, also if your scope is FFP at low magnification you will get a blurry cross hair so this is what I do to find the best setting for a crisp cross hair. Set your scope to the max magnification minus one setting, this part is just to adjust the crosshair, then later I'll explain how to adjust the image, for example if your scope goes to 20 dial to 18, if it goes to max 25 dial to 20 you get the idea. Then aim to the sky or something neutral and using the diopter set the focus to the camera, as you noticed the best focus on the camera will give you crappy image on your eyes, you wont be able to see the crosshair, this is when now you need to find the balance. Start dialing back the diopter just a little at a time, your image on the cam will degrade a bit but the image on the eye will improve even more, the change on both is not linear, there is a sweet spot where you can achieve pretty good image on both the cam and the eye, after you find the right balance, if your scope is FFP, move the magnification up to the max and the focus will be even better, then check two steps down..... That at least is what I do. And as I said before, with some scopes I can have better focus than with other. After you do this sometimes the focus (parallax) goes out if sync a bit when you are aiming to a target, the previous procedure will give you a nice crosshair (and for that procedure you just used the diopter) but you might notice the image is not focused when you see it is focused on your eye, parallax, so after focusing for the eye perfectly the image I always move my parallax a bit forward until I see the image will start losing the focus. That almost always gives me a sharp image
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter Dear Orion, Thank you for taking the time to answer my question in such detail. These are very useful tips and I'm going to get started with them. Thank you again! Regards, Dimitri
I may be late with this question but does that action cam come with a wide angle lens? Because don’t they say you won’t get a great picture with a wide angle lens, that’s why eaglevision sells the separate lens?
Excelente video amigo, ví el link de la cámara que tipo de grado es el lente y otra pregunta al comprar el adaptador del side shot incluye el chiquito también saludos
La camara es la 90 degree. El link en la descripcion del video ye lleva a un buen deal en AliExpress. Si el adaptador incluye todo lo que aparece en el video, incluso los tornillos y las tuercas
How is the editing software? Do you use a desktop computer to edit? What software? Does firefly have its own software? I’m currently using GoPro 4 with sideshot and editing on my iPhone 😰
I'm interested in the camera setup but I rather have it with my Android smart phone instead of the camera, do you sell it with the phone mount instead.
It really depends on the use you want to give to the footage, with the phone you are limited to the frame rates you can record. For the slow motions and the amount of videos I do the phone is not going to work for me, but again as I said, it might work for you, there's no one solution works for everyone...
Hi does the eagle vision adapter fits with the gopro adapter or I have to buy it with the transparent adapter . I have the metal go pro of the eagle vision . Thanks for the info .
Hola si me compro el sistema. Eagle vision y la cámara que tú dices en tu vídeo es necesario, cambiarle la lente? O serviría la.xamara directamente con el adaptador que vendes. Aunque te escribo desde España Espero ir algún día A Miami y poder cazar algunas iguanas por allí. Un saludo desde España
I have this setup but my camera focused well on low magnification and when I move to higher magnification, the video goes smaller. I tested this on 8-32x56 SFP and 6-24x50 FFP. Please advise what I’m doing wrong? BTW. Great informative video
On high magnifications two things can happen, 1: the quality of the scope, not all scope will give you a clear image at maximum magnification so what you can see on your camera is the same you will see with your eyes, but it's really simple to test, shoot and notice if when you go at max magnification you see with your eyes a shade on the sides? If so then your scope, even when offers that max magnification is not going to be usable for filming at that range, good quality scopes are not going to do that, but cheap scopes will do. I noticed the Arken was doing that, check my video review for the Arken and you will see what I mean there. The second problem is that the camera is not centered, at high magnification you will need to be really centered to see the image, if the camera is just a bit to a side you might get those type of issues, to check if the image is centered, check the black space on the sides of the circle and see if you have the same space on both, right and left, if one is bigger than the other then your camera is not centered, you will need to tilt the camera to one of the sides to compensate, one way to do it is to add washers while you are attaching the screws...
@@josenormanj.gayoso8344 Hope you can fix it, but I'll be honest, it's pretty common not to be able to film at full magnification, just back one notch and test
Do you have any suggestions for an external monitor? Also, I have purchased everything seen in this video. I set it up and it works. But no matter how I adjust the mount by loosening the 4 small screws and adjusting I still have a dark side in my shot at between 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock. Any suggestions on how to fix that?
External monitor is on the video description. Dark shades might be due to scope not be clear all the way of the magnification range, try to record one or two notches away from the max magnification.
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter I didn't have the same issue with my cellphone and the sideshot. Is it possibly an alignment issue? The scope is a 6-24x50. At 10x there is a small dark area in the upper right area. At 14x about 30% of the field is dark. At 20x the dark are takes up about 80% of the field of view.
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter I totally agree with what you have said sir, I've tried gopro and firefly but the firefly is sharper and without changing the lens it's very, very good for me to capture when we aim at the target

@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter I really appreciate all of your hard work!
Hola amigo me interesa comprar esta cámara, Me interesa saber si esta cámara tiene aparte una aplicación para ella misma para conectarla al celular y bajar los videos?
Me refiero como lago pro tiene su aplicación para conectarla al celular y bajar los videos,Si tiene una aplicación te agradezco mucho que me la pases para descargarla gracias por tu contestación👌👍✌️
I like you videos my friend I so same pest control TH-cam videos in South Texas I just order one adapter Thank you and God bless
Thanks a lot!! The adapter is good if you have side shot already. My OrionCam system will give really nice clean image. Any questions reach out and I'm here to help
any idea how i can change firmware. I tried on their app, i tried ambrella EVK firmware, i tried to delete all files on sdCard and put V115 version but it doesn’t work. Thanks
Thanks for helping me between you and me I'm sure I will get it figured out
Great video and pro tips 👍👍🇨🇦
Thanks Mikes!!!
Hello good video!! , my questions are... That firefly camera records in slow camera at 250 fps?, and that eaglevision mount serves for my scope (hawke sidewinder 6.5-20x42) ??
Hello Orion,
Wow, ... great video on the technical aspects of settling up a scope video camera. What was best was explaining all the details. In “detail”...! This part of the sport usually is never fully explained and the video viewer is left fumbling for the real details. Again, Thanks for your Channel and happy hunting....
Skywagon
Thanks my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Awesome video my friend thanks for all the good info I really enjoyed it and this will definitely help me out thanks for sharing these tips bsafe my friend
Chris my dear friend! I'm really happy to help brother, anything you need, let me know! Take care my friend!
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter ok thanks i would buy a bunch of stuff from you but I'm laid off at the moment cause of the covid virus but ill be back at work in the beginning of December God willing 🙏
@@chrisfigueroa3361 Oh boy I missed this, I didn't know you were laid off.... really sucks, really hope you get your hob back soon my friend
Excellent information!! Thanks.
Hello Orion, great video, great products. I already placed my orders! New sub. Gracias hermano! 👍
Good day, I have a s8e 170 degree camera, with the lens change, if this camera will do the job for me, which lens would you recommend?
Love the videos. Couple of questions:
1. This video is 1.5 years old. Still using the same or is there an update?
2. What Range Finder do you use or would recommend?
3. Sometimes I see range on the Scope Video. Is this added afterwards or does the video record it real-time?
4. What Scope do you use/recommend?
I am currently trying to decide which Airgun to get. Would Like to get the Daystate Alpha Wolf with both 22 and 30 cal. However, I may just settle with the Brocock Commander XR .22 Magnum. Also looking at Athlon Optics Argos BTR GEN2 6-24x50 APLR2 FFP IR MOA Scope for the Brocock, not sure what I would get with Daystate.
Thanks for all your wonderful work.
Oh, not sure if I will ever get to South Florida to hunt Iguana with you, but just curious. Other than TH-cam, how are you paid for removing these Iguana, by each, weight, job, etc? Does it pay well enough for a job even without TH-cam?
Hi Frank,
Here are the answer to your questions:
1. There's an update. I'm using now the OrionCam, a 3D printed scope cam that I developed. Check link to my online store on the video description.
2. I use a Sig Sauer Kilo 2200 BDX. I like these because they have ballistic calculation with them, so when I range I not just see the yards but also how many clicks I have to adjust.
3. I add the range on the video because some of my viewers are asking for it.
4. Here you don't want to listen to me, I'm a glass addict because I want the best video I can get. I have 2 scopes on the $3K range, you don't need that. The last gun I put together was my RTI Compact and I have to order a scope for the gun having here very expensive ones, but what I learn by doing that is the scope should match the gun, I had a very lightweight gun that it didn't make any sense to me to add a very heavy scope. I ended up ordering an Athlon Helos BTR Gen2 4-20x50 and I'm very happy with that scope, but again the scope world is huge and it will be very hard to recommend a single scope, it will depend on your setup, tell me what is your gun configuration and I can give you an idea with the scopes, because I love scopes more than guns :)
On the subject for the guns, you are looking into some heavy heaters there. I don't think you can go wrong with any of those setups you are mentioning there, just take in consideration the length and weight of the gun if you are shooting on the bench or walking around, a long and heavy gun won't do well on my iguana hunting outings, a lot of walk! Look into the Athlon Helos BTR I mentioned above, I think it will be lighter than the Argos, but again, I got that because it was small but nice magnification range.
When I go out hunting I don't charge for that, I do it for free to upload videos, I don't have a pest control company or anything like that, some people I see on TH-cam do charge or they have a company for this, I just started my 3D printed site and I offer there the same products I use on my videos!
Hope I answered the questions and if there's anything else I can help let me know, who knows if your question can become a video!
Its so much easier for using a smart phone to watch the videos, you don't need to transfer anything on the computer to watch it so if you have a setup for a Android smart phone I will buy one.
No Johnny, for the phone you just buy the side-shot that they support that type of mount.
Beautiful set up! Stay safe sir!
Thanks Margarita!
Awesome video Erlis now you need to make a video on editing I have loads of footage and can.t figure out how to put it all together Great Job My Friend
I can do an editing video, I just don't know if the people that follow me will be interested in such a thing. But I'll put it on my to-do list
Orion
do you have a video that shows how to program a fire fly?
Don't understand the question. The settings?
Thanks for this! Best explanation I've seen!
I took my time to finish that video! I'm glad it was helpful
Hola amigo una consulta ahí alguna de esas q sirva para la gopro Hero 8 black gracias
A minha não foca u reticulo da luneta por completo u devo faser?
Move the diopter back until the reticle gets in focus
I also used fireflies, just not perfectly round like the one in the video, can you send a mounting for my camera
Sure, there is a link on the video description
Fantastic info!
Thanks!!!
*This*. This is really really good info man - thank you very much for sharing! I have the exact same camera and as you are likely aware - I purchased your adapter. I was actually going to e-mail you re: how do I mount it? ( lol )
Now I know. Thanks!!
Jim!! Thanks for buying the adapter! Yes, this video was due! I'm glad it helps!
Do you prefer side shot or eagle vision I’m worried about losing clarity. Great video thank you for helping us
I developed a ScopeCam system I call OrionCam because I have issues with both sideshot and eagle vision
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter can I use your system scope cam using my GoPro 7 black or 10 black? Or do I have to buy the camera on your video?
Can you send to Malaysia this OriOn adapter?
Thank you, I purchased the camera and your adaptor. It took a while to get everything. I just set it up. Have done a few recordings. My problem is the image is reversed. The numbers are backward on the playback. Pellets that are flying to the R appear to be going left on the video. Mirror image. What setting am I missing. Help appreciated. Bert
That's how it's, the Image is reflected inside a mirror and the camera sees a mirror image. I just flip everything on my video editing software.
Do you put a link to the external monitor and cable please
Link to monitor is there, mine came with cable
indonesia.
bagaimana caranya saya mau beli adapter orion nya??
Does this sideshot mount work with the Gopro11?
Great Video but I did have one question What Scope are you using? Thanks Randy
In that video I was using a Tract Toric 4-20x50 if you see my most recent video you will see an Element Titan
Hello, I tried to buy the adaptor for the side shot from the link you provided but i won't allow me to buy it because it doesn't ship to my country ( Egypt). can i buy the file and print it on 3d printer?
Great info! This will be my next scope! Thanks!
You mean, scope cam recorder? Wait for my next video!
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter lol! Yep!
thanks and love you
Excellent tutorial video!
Thanks Shane!
Watched you twice out with Jessica, found this video extremely interesting. You just got a new subscriber. PS. I would encourage you to do a video on editing for 2 reasons: One, I doubt any subscriber would un-subscribe over one video (I know I would not do that). Two, you might pick up new subscribers who found you when searching for 'how to edit videos'
Will do. Already did a video about how to avoid the 10 common mistakes while filming with the scope. I added few editing tricks on that video, and I think more videos like that could be very helpful
Hola amigo cómo estás, me interesa el producto cómo puedo comprarlo , gracias espero q me ayude 🙏🏻👍
Hay un link en la descripción del vídeo
I was all set to put down the $$$ for the Eaglevison GoPro setup until I found your video. Just want to clarify one point, and The OrionCam that is offered on your site eliminates the need for any adapters and the Firefly 8 SE 90 degree fits in directly? Does the monitor that you are recommending make the setup that much easier? Excellent & very informative Video as always!!
The OrionCam is a replacement for the entire scope cam, no need for adapters, it will work by attaching the firefly directly to the OrionCam
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter I have been watching TH-cam more since I got into PCP Airguns, and I finally settled on a FX Impact NKII after watchful many good and some not so good videos. In the end, the performance counts but so does the customer service. FX owners and people who appreciate them like to help others learn about them. You are one example of a great video due to the content and your fast customer service that you early see these days. Keep up the great work!
Very good information.
What if the cross hairs are no parallel how do you adjust that
lose and rotate the scope rings, that will rotate the cross hair too
Hi,
Thank you for this great video!
I have a question:
I have the same set-up as yours.
I only have the following problem:
Every time I focus my parralax, the image is clear when I look through the scope, but the images on the camera are blurred.
When I then focus the parralax on the screen of the camera, the image is clear on the camera, but not when I look through the scope.
Do you know what I can do about this?
Kind regards,
Dimitri
Hi Dimitri, You are correct but I'll show you a trick on how I do it. Basically the idea is to find the balance where the image on the camera is good and the image on your eye is acceptable to the point where you can see. With some scopes this work better than with others, also if your scope is FFP at low magnification you will get a blurry cross hair so this is what I do to find the best setting for a crisp cross hair. Set your scope to the max magnification minus one setting, this part is just to adjust the crosshair, then later I'll explain how to adjust the image, for example if your scope goes to 20 dial to 18, if it goes to max 25 dial to 20 you get the idea. Then aim to the sky or something neutral and using the diopter set the focus to the camera, as you noticed the best focus on the camera will give you crappy image on your eyes, you wont be able to see the crosshair, this is when now you need to find the balance. Start dialing back the diopter just a little at a time, your image on the cam will degrade a bit but the image on the eye will improve even more, the change on both is not linear, there is a sweet spot where you can achieve pretty good image on both the cam and the eye, after you find the right balance, if your scope is FFP, move the magnification up to the max and the focus will be even better, then check two steps down..... That at least is what I do. And as I said before, with some scopes I can have better focus than with other. After you do this sometimes the focus (parallax) goes out if sync a bit when you are aiming to a target, the previous procedure will give you a nice crosshair (and for that procedure you just used the diopter) but you might notice the image is not focused when you see it is focused on your eye, parallax, so after focusing for the eye perfectly the image I always move my parallax a bit forward until I see the image will start losing the focus. That almost always gives me a sharp image
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter Dear Orion,
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question in such detail. These are very useful tips and I'm going to get started with them.
Thank you again!
Regards,
Dimitri
excelente video y muy bien explicado, un abrazo compañero
Muchas gracias Jose Luis! Me alegro que haya sido util
I may be late with this question but does that action cam come with a wide angle lens? Because don’t they say you won’t get a great picture with a wide angle lens, that’s why eaglevision sells the separate lens?
The firefly has two versions, one 170 degree lens and a 90 degree lens no distortion one. That last one is what works
Excelente video amigo, ví el link de la cámara que tipo de grado es el lente y otra pregunta al comprar el adaptador del side shot incluye el chiquito también saludos
La camara es la 90 degree. El link en la descripcion del video ye lleva a un buen deal en AliExpress. Si el adaptador incluye todo lo que aparece en el video, incluso los tornillos y las tuercas
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter mil gracias amigo como siempre muy amable
Great video! What is the best 'Android camera app' for you? tks
I don't use the phone for recording, I use the stock camera on my phone
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter Do you know good app for control the parameter/settings of the camera on the phone? Tks
Quick question, quite a few TH-camrs giving details on equipment etc but what editing software do you use
Davinci Resolve
Have you tried the 750 mp @ 240fps on the setting
Yes but the image comes too noisy. 120fps is the best balance
Wow very informative
Thanks Herbert! Hope this helps people getting better scope cam footage
Good work
Thanks my friend!
best video ever
How is the editing software? Do you use a desktop computer to edit? What software? Does firefly have its own software? I’m currently using GoPro 4 with sideshot and editing on my iPhone 😰
Davinci Resolve is my editing software, I edit on my computer
OriOn The Iguana Hunter Ok. Thanks bro! 👍💪🦎💥🔫
I'm interested in the camera setup but I rather have it with my Android smart phone instead of the camera, do you sell it with the phone mount instead.
It really depends on the use you want to give to the footage, with the phone you are limited to the frame rates you can record. For the slow motions and the amount of videos I do the phone is not going to work for me, but again as I said, it might work for you, there's no one solution works for everyone...
Hey this adapter works with sj7star?
Hi does the eagle vision adapter fits with the gopro adapter or I have to buy it with the transparent adapter .
I have the metal go pro of the eagle vision . Thanks for the info .
The adapter I have is for the metal GoPro adapter you have
Ok then do you post to malta europe ?
@@airrifleshooter.516 I need to check the shipping, I don't think so, did you try?

for the price that's the best
I have this setup but my camera focused well on low magnification and when I move to higher magnification, the video goes smaller. I tested this on 8-32x56 SFP and 6-24x50 FFP. Please advise what I’m doing wrong?
BTW. Great informative video
On high magnifications two things can happen, 1: the quality of the scope, not all scope will give you a clear image at maximum magnification so what you can see on your camera is the same you will see with your eyes, but it's really simple to test, shoot and notice if when you go at max magnification you see with your eyes a shade on the sides? If so then your scope, even when offers that max magnification is not going to be usable for filming at that range, good quality scopes are not going to do that, but cheap scopes will do. I noticed the Arken was doing that, check my video review for the Arken and you will see what I mean there.
The second problem is that the camera is not centered, at high magnification you will need to be really centered to see the image, if the camera is just a bit to a side you might get those type of issues, to check if the image is centered, check the black space on the sides of the circle and see if you have the same space on both, right and left, if one is bigger than the other then your camera is not centered, you will need to tilt the camera to one of the sides to compensate, one way to do it is to add washers while you are attaching the screws...
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter
Thanks you so much for your quick response. Appreciated it very much.
@@josenormanj.gayoso8344 Hope you can fix it, but I'll be honest, it's pretty common not to be able to film at full magnification, just back one notch and test
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter
You’re the best. Appreciated the follow-up.
How to avail sir im from philippines?
How do you connect to a phone or tablet as a secondary monitor?
I connect it to an external monitor using a mini hdmi cable
Awesome video
Thanks! Svilen! I'm glad you liked it!
Do you have any suggestions for an external monitor? Also, I have purchased everything seen in this video. I set it up and it works. But no matter how I adjust the mount by loosening the 4 small screws and adjusting I still have a dark side in my shot at between 12 o'clock and 3 o'clock. Any suggestions on how to fix that?
External monitor is on the video description. Dark shades might be due to scope not be clear all the way of the magnification range, try to record one or two notches away from the max magnification.
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter I didn't have the same issue with my cellphone and the sideshot. Is it possibly an alignment issue? The scope is a 6-24x50. At 10x there is a small dark area in the upper right area. At 14x about 30% of the field is dark. At 20x the dark are takes up about 80% of the field of view.
@@daverocker1 see if holding the camera and rocking side to side it gets better, I've seen the firefly cam sometimes are not centered
@@daverocker1 if the cam is not centered I shim the inside of the case with tape
I use hawke sidewinder 6.5/20 but it is not clear?
How can i make the network scope very clear
The network scope?
The scope reticles
Great but just went to order the adapter and an fx magazine insert and you don’t ship to uk
I'm testing international shipping at the moment. Stay tuned
Thanks I will do as this looks really good for the side shot
between firefly and gopro hero 7 which is better sir
GoPro gives you better slow motion, but firefly gives you a sharpest image
@@OriOnTheIguanaHunter I totally agree with what you have said sir, I've tried gopro and firefly but the firefly is sharper and without changing the lens it's very, very good for me to capture when we aim at the target
