EPIC action cam

HI all im wonderng if anyone has used the epic action cam because i am looking into getting one but would like to know what fellow bow hunters think of the product befor i spend a bunch of money on it
thanke alot TJ

 

any one have one of these?

 

Nature I have the Epic stealth cam. Don't have to spend a bunch of money, it's under 70 bucks on this holiday sale

 

I think Justin runs one for a second angle. pm him.

 

I current have the new Epic HD 1080 cam and really like it. For a 2nd angle or POV cam it's extremely versatile and easy to use. I like the fact that it takes AAA batteries and not a proprietary rechargeable. This way if they go dead on me I can easily carry spares. So far the footage has been excellent.

I just picked up an SD version and will be experimenting with it as well. From what I've seen so far I like it.

 

Justin post some sd clips when you get a chance please. would like to see compairision between hd and sd.

 

If you want - check out these couple episodes of Bowhunt or Die. Anywhere you see the "Epic" logo appear are shots we took w/the Epic HD cameras.

Thanx Justin, when you shoot some video with the sd post it eh? Im get a new main camera this weekend and will need a pov as well by spring and just weighin all the options out there. Everyone I know is running go pros for second angles. I would like to do something different then everyone else. You are the first guy I have really seen to post up any epic video.

 

I just got the Epic D1, which is the SD cam. I used it a bit this weekend just toying around, and it worked great. I really like the small form factor of that camera. It's so compact you barely notice it.

The only thing to be aware of on the D1 SC cam is that the lens is not wide-angle, so you don't get as much in the shot. IMO it's good for mounting on your bow if you want to capture the shot, but not so much for the 2nd angle in the tree. Just can't see enough with that lens.

Here's a few practice shots with the D1 from last weekend.

Thanks Justin, all sd memory? how big of a card will take?

 

Yep - records straight to an SD card. The D1 (SD cam) will take up to a 16 GB card. The 1080P cam will take up to a 32GB card.

 

Thanx bro you answered alot of questions.

 

I personally have not used the epic cam but I have a Go Pro Hero HD and it works great. I can attach it to about anything and it shoots great 1080p video.
