Description:

Some on-gun footage taken at night at a paintball field called "Fun Time Square". Now, for the rest of you people who actually DO hit the "more" button... The camera is a new one for me, from Pacific Concepts. You can find them at http://www.advancedtaccam.com/ At "Elite Weekend" Greg Hastings introduced me to the camera, and it's been interesting to play with. The one thing I notice, obviously, is that the camera craves light. The night footage, frankly, sucks. That being said, the cam did pretty well considering there were 3-4 spotlights on the field in total. The reason you see me going up the same side of the field constantly is that's where the lights were! The other footage came out BLACK. I mounted the camera on my Tippmann A-5A2 using a LAPCO side-mount rail. It held steady all night, much to my relief. The memory card I'm using needs to be upgraded to a 2 gigger tho before I can use this cam regularly. The microphone is somehow INSIDE the camera, and as such the sound quality you get from the camera is beyond "suck". As a "main cam" this has a lot to be desired. However, as a backup, or for people interested in a wire-free gun cam that's built to withstand paintball blasts, this is a good solution. Oh, I should mention that the sound problem is inherent to the camera, and not just because I used a loud A-5. Watch one of their test videos at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnQ5zdB5CD4 and you can see it's not just me. And for those fans of Web Dog, if you both want to see the footage in a higher quality, I'll make it available on the WDR site if there is interest. Keep circulating the tapes!

I liked your other vids better. As a viewer you had much better situational awareness with the camera on the side of the mask. With it on the barrel it is really loud and it moves arund too much.

He's back! You started it all w/ the FPS series and it inspired me to do some myself. Can't wait to see the daylight footages. I'd like to better my first person vids too. Hope this prototype will shed some light in terms of qlty esp for youtube viewing.

Looks like you've got the ATC2000 there. If you want to get better audio out of it, you can remove the small black field under the lens. Inside there's a rubber grommet and wind screen. I'd recommend keeping the screen but removing the grommet. I've also found that if I record in 640x480 then convert it to H.264 320x240 with Quick-time, the video seems to be pretty decent. Looking forward to more videos.

Thanks. I'll probably get the A5 and a drop forward with a better barrel and hopper than stock. I need a mechanical becuase My Imagine kept running out of juice during play. And one time I was playing and slipped into a creek covered in thin ice. Luckily Ikept the gun up
