Rather than a downrange camera system, today we’re looking at the Longshot Hawk, which attaches directly to your spotting scope.

Not usb-c, not changable battery?, only 1080p... Why not just clamp your phone to the spotting scope? A clamp like that is like 10$ and the camera would be infinitely better.
Yeah, 2015 called and said they want their technology back.
Yeah, I just use an older spare cellphone with the clamp mount and I have pretty good results
Agreed. Not to mention the module doesn't center on the spotting scope, so if you have a smaller occular lens, the camera won't be centered.
Exactly, the shitty chinesium clamp I have for my phone can adjust in any angle and my fancy phone films perfect in 4k...@@GldenRetriever
Phoneskope is the one I use, plus modern cell cameras have image stabilization that is very helpful
To extend your drone battery life, once you get to the target, land the drone on a pad and film from a perch. It will allow you to film considerably longer. Also, I’d be tempted to attach a counter weight to the front of the spotting scope to balance out the Hawk. Looks like a fantastic tool. Did your mother name you after me? Thanks Gav
I got the Hawk a few months ago and it has been great
How far have you used it? I am interested in the product, but need something that will show a target at 1,000 yards.
I will be buying it, but only after an M-1 Garand re-barreling subject first thirty years behind with-replacement barrel Criterion.
Considering it's basically just a repackaged HD security camera (wireless/battery like a reolink argus pro) with some extra software and only three times the cost, it's better than I expected.
I have been using phone scope system and am ready to move up. I have the Leupold 15-45-65 . My biggest problem is my tripod, I have vortex that just does not quite extend enough, and another that is not strong enough with camera or phone added.
Would you recommend a reasonable priced tripod that will handle the scope and longshot at around 6 feet extended please. Thank for all the good information you share. Bob
I'm liking the idea of this!!
I've been looking for something along these lines.
But I gotta tell you Gavin, I cringe sometimes when you review something because all too often it's many times outside my buying abilities. 😢
The offering here is pretty solid if you take a look at the product page - however, if this is truly out of reach, stay tuned for ranger. Ranger will be the most affordable option.
I have this product, and I can't emphasize how correct he is on the tripod comment. I had mine on a cheap POS from amazon that worked fine for just holding the spotting scope, but it is completely garbage with the HAWK added into the mix. Rather unusable with a junk tripod, HAWK works great tho without that constraint.
You can change your income. You're the only one keeping yourself poor
Somewhere an engineer is bashing his head into his keyboard because Gavin did not mention the whole point of this system is so you can watch the impact with your cheek still resting against the rifle (as opposed to phonescope).
It needs a built in screen. If I wanted to stare at my phone screen there are a ton of cheap options for that
@@leftyeh6495 It does not need a built in screen. That's what phone-scope is for.
Could you test this on a spotting scope with a reticle? I cannot keep my Hawk from dancing focus from the target to the spotting scope reticle, making it useless. I wish it had a manual focus mode.
Dangit, now there's something else I need to spend money on! Put it on the list...
can this stream to multiple devices?
How is this better than my cell phone and phone skope ? I record my impacts out past a mile with great clarity. Any info to my question will be appreciated, thanks!!
It's not. But it is more expensive😂
But this is far larger and you don't need an inexpensive adapter to mate your phone to the scope. You also get to use your phone or carry a pad along too. Why wouldn't you want all that extra gear? lol
@@jeffb.3052 ok. Sounds good. lol.
For a shooting accessory, the price is actually quite reasonable. Unfortunately, by the time it has made it across the Atlantic, it has doubled. 😢
I have been looking for a shooting camera for a while, but the price has made me hesitant. This video came up and immediately looked it up. I ordered one before the video ended...
Do you have to have Wi-Fi on your iPad or does the hawk come with Wi-Fi installed?
Any device that you'll use to connect to the HAWK (phone or tablet) will need to be Wi-Fi capable. The HAWK has built-in Wi-Fi and broadcasts an SSID that you'll connect to with your phone/tablet. It doesn't need an internet connection to work- it's just using the wireless connection for streaming the video signal. :) - Kyle
@@Ultimatereloaderfinally a use for all those old pads and phones I have lying around.
If anyone is using The Hawk. What is the furthest distance you have been able to record your shots?
We have used it out to 1390y
👈🏻This is the cat's meow. No more second hand baby monitors off shop goodwill!
Only 1080P and the camera doesn't center behind the scope? Pass in my book just for those two downgrades.
the advantage to this over phone skope style is you can see your shots while your cheek is still on the rifle.
Big on talk but short on actual images? Difficulty of a spotting scope is seeing impacts at 600 yards, does this improve seeing impacts or not? My guess is that it does not! How does the camera center-up in the eyepiece since it only tightens from one side? You left more question unanswered than you actually answered..
This is a camera - not an optical extension for your spotter. It records what your spotter sees. So if you can see the impact with your spotter, you can see it through the recording. Another benefit is after you have the recording, you can zoom in on the recording if needed. The HAWK clamps from the top down so if you align the bottom of HAWK with the bottom of the spotter eye piece, it will be centered. Also, the body does rotate if needed - Tyler
Hawk lens needs improve tremendously very poor quality excluding from scope optics
A pan head is so much better for this than a ball head.
Dont know what it is about UR viewers but they are Ultimate Cheapskates😂
Maybe, but we're also not into debt up to our ears and we actually have our own place. As opposed to many folks these days in debt up to their ears and still living with their parents but hey, they have all the cool toys. lol
Don't waste your money..$10 for a phone mount will work better than this low tech junk
