Topic: Camera on Arrow
I tried this several years ago with a Korean bow and arrow, but the cameras were too big then. Maybe I'll try it again someday.

I love the sound that the arrow makes mid-flight --- it's like a rocket engine.

Hmmm... Kind of expensive (and the pics go by too fast to see them well). Probably more like this: http://www.buy.com/prod/qi-640-480-digi … 32559.html

Re: Camera on Arrow
Which camera did you buy? You're right, the pen will only give you a side view, but that could also be interesting. Here is another one: http://www.meritline.com/high-definitio … rce=fghdac
I sent a message to the fellow in the video asking what he used; I'll let you know what I hear from him.

Re: Camera on Arrow
I heard back from the fellow who made the video. He got the spy cams off eBay. I found the cam he used; because of their cheap price, they are basically disposable:

Re: Camera on Arrow
I'm just waiting to hear from the distributor as to how much shipping will be when buying multiple units. I'm sure I will go through a few of them.

Re: Camera on Arrow
Unfortunately, the distributor said there is no savings on buying multiple units. So, for something that weighs next to nothing, it will be $6.55 each even if you bought several at one time...

Re: Camera on Arrow
I still ordered three of them (chances are at least one will probably be a dud).

Just a case of who posts the video first now then. Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase 'Be the arrow'.

Re: Camera on Arrow
My camera was brocken again!!!
But the real problem is... when arrow is impact with ground, cam takes a lot of shock!
It makes recording problem. camera has the data, but it can't express the images.
I found almost 1GB movie file in the camera, at first flying
but it has just 11second image
for succesS, camera must keep the power after the landing(?) or crashing!!
hm... I'll try again. I made a small shock absorber on arrowhead.'
But real problem is.... I NEED A ONE MORE CAMERA!!! ㅜㅜ

Re: Camera on Arrow
I think your camera is a little too far forward on the arrow. If you look at where the fellow in the original video put the camera, it was back further.

Re: Camera on Arrow
I think make a longer arrow, perhaps 36-38 inches so you don't lose draw length :s
Re: Camera on Arrow
And obviously bigger feathers, the original arrows ares equipped with something like 6 feathers, aren't they?
