      if you could breaking down some of the pro techniques like what ammo you use and your settup in a more understandable format for newbs.
      maybe a mic for voiceovers would increase your quality greatly, an intro would be good aswell

    I use 4x 3/8" tubes. Yousta use x2 but now its x4. Ruger pistol grip i carved wrist brace; counterweights firward or back. And 4x rotating cams to get rid of that nasty dead zone thru the middle on release

    Nice one mate, good to see the video. Someone below commented that a second person as camera person would help. Tripod maybe too as an alternative but I know from experience how slow that makes progress through a hunt (or fishing trip in my case). You say this is the final Monster? Has the Demon replaced it? Can you give us an outline of that sometime with the improvements on the newer model?

    • @theferalphilosopher-huntin1372
      @theferalphilosopher-huntin1372  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      The 'improvements' are from the production side. The offset handle on the Monster was done to make the torch/camera attachment closer to the same level as the aiming dimp. The problem for building was that it makes the frame 'handed', so I was having to wait for an order and then finish the frame. Having them ambidextrous means I can do five in a weekend.
      As you can see from the video, the symmetrical frame doesn't affect the camera view.
      The trick was making a symmetrical frame that I could wrap with paracord. If you look carefully at the Demon it is a complicated wrap.
      When I say 'last Monster', I mean last monster for now. I'll do another batch some ways down the line, but I'm having fun designing and building new things. I have a couple of other designs up my sleeve in the meantime :D

    Nice shot man. What I have found with using go pros and duck hunting is to make teh field of view narrow as it focuses in more and can see more detail. espically on barrel mounted camera. I would think it would be the same for the camera under the slingshot.

    Nicely done, your camera mount is a very good idea a different longer lens, would help don't know if they exist for action cameras and hardly like you want a full on camera attached.
    Have done some messing with CCTV cameras for DIY night vision that's probably not streamlined enough.

      If your handy with fabrication especially with a 3D printer IR NV isn't too tricky, and cheap (dont know about NZ ebay) quite a bit of info for scope add ons/spotters. Best in open ground though as any bright foreground undergrowth tends to take over.
