[QUOTE="Josh P, post: 1617964, member: 60236"] I just use a Sony extended zoom camcorder. The video is a bit grainy but I can spot shots to 1375yds it's my furthest piece of steel. It is definitely harder to see the smaller caliber rifles the further you go but is quite easy to see magnum cartridges. I set this up behind the shooter and if you put the target in the middle of the lower 1/4 of the screen you can watch trace all the way to the target. I do this when I'm by myself or have someone new to spotting so we can rewatch a shot with a questionable call that I couldn't spot myself through the rifle. We can then rewatch the video later on a TV and with the bigger screen can teach someone what to look for when watching trace and looking for impact. On a windy day we can't always hear an impact and when the bullet breaks on the plate and stirs up the dirt below. A new spotter my call the shot as low not seeing the hit and the replay let's them see what's going on. And by doing it this way I don't burn up phone battery recording video and can keep my Ballistics app running at my shooting position. A guy doesn't really appreciate a good spotter until he doesn't have one and the video helps to learn how to spot. [/QUOTE]
