Do you actually shoot anything or just fondle your gadgets.
Needs a bottle opener and some roach clips.
I did this with a kestral, LRF, and spotter... I was told it took the fun out of lol I haven’t missed a shot since I did it.
the other day my boss mentioned his watch giving him a blowjob....he might have been to to something
I do shoot, funny thing is I never thought I would do something like this so my fing hud could get live updates.
toys new toys who don't like new toys . I know I like buying and recieveng packages in the mail then unwrapping them like it was Christmas . As long as your happy with the stuff you buy what more could you ask for . Good luck and may it all work well for you.
Recreational shooter, I think not. Anything worth doing is worth over doing.
For those of us that don't yet own this setup but are looking at it and coveting some/all of it, what are we looking at? I see a Kestrel, an iPhone, some Vortex binos, a range finder that I don't know the brand of (I have the Vortex Fury bino/range finder combo), and a sweet looking rail with little red knobs. All of this is mounted to a Leofoto ball head and what I assume is a Leofoto 364 tripod.
Sucks that all you can do is shoot to your back fence! 
Seriously, some stuff seems expensive until you use it. What's expensive (no matter what you paid) is stuff you can't use, no matter how good it sounded when you bought it.

Agree with that. Best $ I ever spent was on an original Terrapin rangefinder. Way better than any currently available rangefinder, but a worthless brick if it breaks. Still, best money I’ve ever spent. Ill be sad when it dies.Sucks that all you can do is shoot to your back fence!

Ok, here is the list of stuff I bought.
I already had the kestrel weather vain, the vortex binos and sportsman mount, the range finder and mount. Just needed to make them all come together on one easy on easy off rail mount on my tripod.

LOL, may need to go quick clamp to a tripod leg and a longer magic arm for the wind vane to keep it level though. If whatever you are looking at is on an incline/decline you will have to re-adjust that Vs set it once when you place the tripod.
Looks like the little brother of the robot in the movie "Short Circuit".

I hope you are shooting ELR or something. Please don't tell me you're shooting 100 yards from a bench.
Shooting a local prone steel match non-prs out to 850 yards, and our range usually has strong winds most of the time.
I bought a couple of these. they work great for independent adjustment.

So when do we get saftey glasses with a camera and mic with BT and AI that just show us a HUD like you get in CoD? Keeps track of total mag count and rounds in mag. Drops a pin with distance to target and holds after ranging all targets with your paired range finder. Switching to pistol or shotgun for a 2/3 gun match? No problem! Built in AI recognizes what you are holding and switches round/shell and magazine count accordingly. All programed through an easy to use App on your phone. When you reload, just hit a button in the app or say a key phrase that your glasses can hear with the mic that already tracks your shots.
The tech sort of exists already in the face shield of the F22/F35 helmets.
Someone quick, patent that shit and sell it to Sig. Sounds like a gadget up their alley.
All for the low low price of $4,500.
