Vortex Hornady Bullet Cam
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 4/11/2017 | C Bailey

Posted on 04/11/2017 11:36:54 AM PDT by w1n1

Imagine being able to see your bullet hitting the target as it hits its target.

Vortex and Hornady released a video of a new "bullet-cam" and it had many talking, whether they believed it or not. Some new technology that would hypothetically change the hunting and filming game forever from Vortex and Hornady took the outdoor world by storm recently. News like this would change the industry…if only it were true, lol.

An epic April Fool's prank cooked up an incredibly cool product, outstanding visuals and dialogue, and some great acting from employees. Vortex and Hornady released the video that would seem to be a legit product launch with the production quality and subsequent buzz.

But, putting a camera on a bullet is virtually impossible, and some people on social media knew exactly what was going on. But some didn't, and it was quite entertaining.

If you saw it on the internet, its gotta be true. Right? If haven't seen it, see the Vortex/Hornady Cam Bullet here.

Time the frame rate to synch with vertical only.

Easy.

That’s 3200 times per second.

How would the camera know what’s vertical at 3200 times per second?

To: Mr. Douglas

has anyone ever used that to ‘center’ the image on Kennedy’s car in Dealey plaza?

I think a lot could be learned from that

I think there is movement that can clearly be seen by at least 4 shots

That would be easy after building all the hardware.

You know, “We’ll fix that in the software.”

Maybe use image recognition, determine the horizon and reference from that.
