Is anyone aware of a device allowing "self-spotting"?
Apar from going with a buddy - my kids have somehow managed to grow up and not only are they about to leave home but are also much harder to convince to come spot for me.
I am considering putting together a setup with a cheap/old laptop, USB camera, software to delay the video feed, and a bracket to mount/center/focus the USB camera to my spotting scope. With a 2-4 second delay on the video, I can shoot then look to the monitor and see where the shot landed.
I have tried mobile phone mounts - and frankly non of them work and are incredibly fragile, unstable, and frustrating to setup.
Before I make the effort to put all this together - I would like to know if I can "buy and not build"
Thank you.
