    I know this has been done a bunch, and these things have been around for a long time now, but I wanted to give you folks a quick update and some sample video of what I've found.

    So the camera has worked flawlessly so far, video quality is very good for the price IMO and what I found most intriguing, is that my bow, as is, has very little shot movement and the camera pics up the arrow flight and impact rather good. Now, I didn't use lighted nocks in these videos, but with them, i can see this only improving. The bow is a Prime Rize at 65/29. Arrow is 430gr.

    In all these shots, I didn't do anything differently in terms of holding/gripping the bow and my follow through. If anything, the camera makes me a bit more conscious of my follow through.

    The bow sounds very loud at the shot, but you have to realize that the stabilizer saps up a lot of the vibe/shock at the shot. The camera's microphone seems very good/sensitive.

    If I'm not mistaken, this is at 3x zoom at 2.7K resolution. It seems to give the best real distance perspective. The 5x is nice, and will be pretty cool during spring turkey season with a shotgun, but for bowhunting, I think the 3x zoom works best.
