Re: Camera on Arrow

Mine arrived yesterday. I need to go out to buy a TF card. Each weighs 15.1 g without the keychain.

Re: Camera on Arrow

I'm still waiting for my cameras to come from China; it's been three weeks.  I received an e-mail a couple days ago saying I should be patient and, if they don't arrive in 45 business days, I can either be sent replacements or a refund.

Re: Camera on Arrow

Huh, weird. And you're much closer geographically than I am. hmm I also noticed they took down their original eBay posting for the camera and increased the price.

I broke one of my cameras already... Wasn't able to salvage any worthwhile footage from that outing.

Re: Camera on Arrow

I think they got hung up in Korean customs or something.  Why, I'm not sure, as they sell that exact camera in Korea (albeit at many times the price).

Re: Camera on Arrow

Well, the cameras finally came.  I went to the Cheonmajeong and tried it out a bit.  The second time I tried, the camera flew off the arrow and I, along with a couple other people, spent about fifteen minutes looking for it.  The only real problem is the spin that happens; I'll have to figure that one out...

#5 and #6 are somewhat interesting (#6 is a whistling arrow I made)

Re: Camera on Arrow

Nice videos !
To avoid the spine, you must use plastic vanes... The natural feathers will always spine. If you use 2 feathers frow right and 2 from  left wing, it may make a shaky flight, but I have never tried it.

Re: Camera on Arrow

Actually, I asked the fellow who made the original video how he did it and his answer was similar to yours--he used four fletch of two left and two right.  That explains why my whistling arrow *almost* worked (four-fletch, but the same wing).

Re: Camera on Arrow

I think make a longer arrow, perhaps 36-38 inches so you don't lose draw length
