Time to test the Bushnell Videoscope

bushnell%20videoscope.jpg
Some of you may have seen the recently introduced Bushnell Videoscope. In short, it's a small video recorder that mounts to a gun (or bow stabilizer) and allows you to film your hunts.

When the PR folks at Bushnell said they had loaners for testing, I bit. It came today.

Has anyone else used one of these?

Now, I know this isn't going to give me HD video. But I'm wondering if it might be OK for shooting for Web clips such as those I post here from time to time. After all, I shot one Web video with my Canon Powershot G9 point and shoot and it turned out just fine.

I plan to start testing this out soon, and ideally will have it mounted to my bow stabilizer come opening day.

Stay tuned...
