Excellent comparison video! Tactacam is great for filming the general experience, then ShotKam is built for improving your shooting and seeing the "kill shot." Fantastic, Jordan!

[@EveryDayLimits]

Thanks for the comment and glad you liked the video comparison!

[@Windwalker_Outdoors]

Very in depth comparison. That video took some effort to edit and put together. You did a fantastic job!

[@EveryDayLimits]

Thank you! This video did take a lot of effort as you've said. The filming is the easy part but editing takes many hours.

[@ClaytonHedden]

I own both models and use both on a regular basis. I also own the Garmin Xero S1 so I’m a bit of technical nerd shooter! I believe a fairer comparison would be to use the zoom mode on the Tactacam as this looks much closer to the Shotcam. The standard or wide angle models give you different zoom perspectives and one should make up the distant issue. Also if you want the controls in an easier location to reach simply turn it over and flip the image in the app.

[@EveryDayLimits]

Using the zoom mode just zooms in the video digitally. I can also do this editing the video and everything just gets pixelated so I do not think thats the fix to get a closer comparison. If anything this would just make the ShotKam image look even better as the image is closer due to the lens that is used. Not zooming in on the sensor.

[@ethanmeade8724]

Ok I dont know what to get can the shotkam get attached to a scope like the tactcam and what would you recommend

[@jadon2709]

@@ethanmeade8724 if you want to mount a camera anywhere other then the barrel I'd go with tactacam, they have alot of mounting options. I've been really enjoying their fts setup. Great for long range gun hunting.

My vote goes to the Shotkam! Can't wait to see some hunting footage later on this year!

[@DrBilly90210]

I got the ShotKam about a month ago and have been pleased with it. ShotKam has also made many videos about using the product and how to use it to improve your shooting (many of these are on KZbin). Seems like to improve my shotgun shooting (mostly skeet, 5 stand, and sporting clays) it's a two step process: 1) Knowing how/why I missed and then 2) making the appropriate correction(s). ShotKam really helps with the first step, i.e. instead of wondering where your aim point and shot placement was on a shot, now you know exactly where the miss was. Used to shoot 16-19 for a round of skeet; now I'm consistently in the low 20's. It's plenty pricey but my view was that I would probably have spent about the same on professional instruction to improve to where I am now. Planning to use it for the next few months, then maybe combine it with some instruction/coaching for a synergistic effect. Didn't know about the laser on the ShotKam (though I had noticed the small laser warning label on the housing and wondered why it was there). How did you turn that on (3:20)? Looks like just holding the center button for a certain period of time? I'll have to play around with it tonight when I get home.

[@EveryDayLimits]

For sure they are a great tool for anything shotgun related. To turn the laser on just hold the center button down for 10 seconds

[@jamathonnelson]

Glad I watched this video. I was about to pull the trigger on the Tactacam thank you!

[@EveryDayLimits]

Glad I could help

[@TripleRwoods]

Reason to change settings is low light versus bright lighting...

[@MrOchiman007]

The shotcam is really for shotguns, the tactacam is best for a scoped rifle due to the fact u can run it via ur scope with its inverted mirrored mount.

[@steve9087]

Hi from England. Great video. I’ve just ordered two shotkams as they have £150 off each. Incredible price but priceless when it comes to the information it provides you to improve your game.

[@rickypowers7348]

They are different models for the tactacam. And each one has different functions and the ones that have the modes have zoom levels and they are nice to use and also the tactacams you can also use all the gopro mounts if you don't want to use tactacam mounts but tactacam also makes a film through scope mount and which allows you to see your cross hairs along with live view on your phone with the app as well

[@EveryDayLimits]

Correct. This video is more geared towards waterfowl hunting. Thats why I said for deer hunting it may be a different story and more suited for the tactacam. For waterfowl having time to turn a camera on is just not an option.

[@jamesarvin9539]

I get the feeling this review is biased towards the ShotKam...

[@armeddiver]

Thank you for the comparison video. I am not a skeet or trap shooter. I am long range and want to be able to record directly through a rifle scope, which the ShotKam is not equipped to do. As for on the gun camera recording, my GoPros are doing the duty for me well. Again than you. for you video it helped me make an easy decision easier.

[@dalecharnock4205]

Thanks Jordan - ShotKam is a great product - now I can compare it to the Tactacam - cheers 👍💥💥

[@EveryDayLimits]

No doubt!

[@jadon2709]

The tactacam works well for scope mounting, I don't like it on the barrel like you noticed. I also like shot cams app better. However tactacam offers more mounting options like FTS, is cheaper and you can set the zoom you desire in a custom mode. Bottom line, if your a deer/turkey hunting, tactacam, if upland game/ waterfowl, go shotcam.

[@EveryDayLimits]

Good points!

[@aaronstonehocker1172]

Tactacam DOES have an auto sleep mode. You can set the desired time out in the app so you don't burn your battery on accident.

[@EveryDayLimits]

I would call that an auto power off mode vs a sleep mode as you have to physically push the power button to turn it back on vs just bumping the stock to "wake" the shotkam.

[@nvidiasniper]

Great job I feel more confident in my decision on which camera to purchase.

[@richardblay3141]

Very informative video about the pluses & minuses of each camera and ease of use.

[@EveryDayLimits]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kylehoying7733]

If I was a competitive clay shooter- Shotkam makes sense. However as a deer hunter, I think the tactacam may be a better choice. I think you would want a wider field of view and be able to film from the time you see the deer all the way through the shot. Bumping your weapon is not a practice way to turn on the camera in that scenario. Plus tactacam is about $300 less too for the 5.0 version. I guess it all depends on your intended use

[@EveryDayLimits]

I agree with you there. For waterfowl hunting there is no option but Shotkam as you dont have time to turn it on or push record. For deer hunting the tactacam will do the job.

[@ishotapig]

Wrong- the modes in the SHOTKAM allow for longer record times - so you do not need to pump the weapon. You have CLAY mode , that gives 20 seconds before going into sleep mode, and records 2 seconds before shot and 1 second after shot. FLYING BIRDS mode , that gives 40 seconds before going into sleep mode, and records 3 seconds before shot and 3 second after shot. GROUND GAME , that gives 5 minutes before going into sleep mode, and records 5 seconds before shot and 20 second after shot. This is all in slow motion with less recoil and great video after a bow shot! I don’t pick up my bow and film a deer walking in? I want it seeing what I see when drawing down on the animal to show a clear view of where my hit actually was- not where I think it was- this allows for the proper wait time to recover the animal if it was a less than desirable hit. Plus you can always turn it on with a simple push of the button if needed.

[@billcoggin751]

You did a great job! Thanks for taking the time to do this. I should add, I never comment on anything. 😀

[@woodysigmin4687]

Great video! I have had shotkam since 2017 and have many great waterfowl shot videos! Have used it for sporting clays as well. I agree the app could use some work. I have been considering Tactacam for turkey hunting

[@carypeaden4147]

Your video was very good. I had never heard of either product last week, but wanted to start recording my hunting shots, so I ordered the Tactacam 5.0 PLUS package which comes with a lot of good accessories, and it costs about what the ShotKam evidently costs with just the under shotgun mount. You video is the first time I have heard of the ShotKam. My hunting is mostly deer or hog with rifle, shotgun, muzzle loader, cross bow, or compound bow (depending on where and when I am hunting). The Tactacam can be mounted on all of those weapons. It also has a FTS (Film Through Scope) adaptor for weapons with scopes. You have clearly shown that you prefer the ShotKam for shooting birds and clays. Do people use the ShotKam for Bow and Rifle hunts? If so how, how for example does the ShotKam compare to the Tactacam 5.0 for a bow hunt?

[@EveryDayLimits]

Based on what you said your looking for I agree with you that the tactacam is the best suited camera for your situation.

The Shotkam crew is awesome to work with, any issues/questions you may have will be taken care of quick.

[@KevinsNorthernExposure]

You did a real fine job young man. Well done. I know this was for the Gen 3 Shotkam, but I bought the Gen 4. I sure hope that the mount holds like it's welded...would sure hate to drop that camera into the lake. It was pricey as heck.

[@StudioComposer]

I've also just bought the ShotKam Gen.4 (and another for my partner), as it was all about detailed shot analysis, 4k/120fps video quality, and ability to calibrate cross-hairs/dot to the bead of the gun for accurate representation. I also liked the quality aluminium body, battery life, and ease of mounting/dismounting and boxing in a proper protective case with the Gen.4. A lot more than the Tactacam perhaps, but I'm driven by quality and features that will doubtless serve us well for a long period of time.

[@EveryDayLimits]

Check out my gen 4 review. It is a great camera!

[@spencertoolandgrind]

You might want to take that set-up to Bay County gun club. It would be a hit. Thank you for what you did with the flood videos!!

[@EveryDayLimits]

Thank you! Id love to get out to the gun club soon but we are coming up on season fast!

[@mchughcb]

Shotkam comes with a lifesaver. The Shotkam aimpoint is not always aligned with your shot. The reason is because if you sight your bead in at 40 yards and then take a 60 yard shot it will appear you are shooting way to high because the camera is going in straight line. To overcome this make sure that I've sighted sighted the shotkam in for about 70 yards which is the maximum for ground game.

[@EveryDayLimits]

Great suggestion!

Doesn't the barrel of the shotgun get in the way of seeing the charging indicator on the Tactacam?

Great video man. I’m torn at the moment. Depending on your type of hunting the tactacam may be better. If you’re shouting ducks at 15-25 yards it’s going to be super zoomed with the shotkam. Thoughts?

[@EveryDayLimits]

Thank you! We usually get ducks at about 30 yards hunting on the bay. The Gopro head cam will capture the wide angle but the shotkam will be able to capture the hit or the miss and allow me to show why I missed the bird. I will be using the shotkam on my hunts.

Shotkam ships internationally. They both have a red dot but shotkam allows you to change it to the reticle if you choose that. It is up to you what you think would work best for your situation.

There are scope mounts

[@Wanderers-Bulgaria]

There is no zoom feature but the lens on the shotkam actually makes the image appear closer then on the tactacam as you can see from this video.

[@reneov05]

Agree! Tactacam has poor video quality, especially in low light.

[@TripleRwoods]

Tactacam has sleep mode after 3 minutes of no recording...

[@EveryDayLimits]

I wouldn’t call that a sleep mode. That’s more like an auto power off mode since you manually have to push the button to turn it back on. It’s no different than powering the tactacam on if it was turned off.

[@TripleRwoods]

@@EveryDayLimits Since the camera starts recording a few seconds after turning off I think it would be very similar to sleep mode.... The same could be said if you don't "hit your stock" on the shotKam. It still won't record. While your comparison is very good I think you are missing some important facts that should be mentioned when comparing the two. #1 mount the tactacam mount towards the lens not the rear, puts pressure on the back cap and can cause the cap to come off. #2 The Tactacam has a remote option that allows you to not only turn on the Tactacam 5.0 but any synced 5.0 wides that are around. Shotkam doesn't offer this... For example I run the remote that turns on/off 4 hunters Tactacam 5.0. #3 The battery life for the Tactacam is if it runs continuously, one of the benefits of the Tactacam 5.0 is it doesn't need to run continuously. It is powered off until the birds are close or working then powered on, records the kill shot, then powered back off. I recorded 22 duck hunts last year and never had to replace my Tactacam battery because they are not on continuously. #4 Tactacam 5.0 gives you the option to do more than just duck hunt. There are bow mounts as well as Film Through Scope using the same camera. So the $300 camera can be used for literally any style of hunting. While your review is about trap shooting it is worth mentioning when comparing the 2. #5 The benefit to being able to quickly change your settings (green, blue, cyan settings) on your tactacam 5.0 is for when there is low light situations. For example at first light you would want less frames per second, more frames per second makes the video darker. And as the sun rises you can quickly change to a higher frame per second to get better slow motion. All in all I think you did a good comparison, just some things to think about that should be considered when spending this kind of money. Tactacam all the way.

[@Windwalker_Outdoors]

@@TripleRwoods I'm guessing you never used a ShotKam. I have used both and the ShotKam is hands down the best camera between the two. The one and only advantage to the Tactacam is the ability to record without firing a shot, other than that, there are no other advantages.

@@TripleRwoods After some thought, I'll admit that the Tactacam also has the advantage of better audio, not good audio but better than the Shotkam's. The FTS is definitely something that will expand the use of the Tactacam as well. As for the Tactacam shotgun mount, not a fan. The ShotKam has a very secure clamp to keep the camera in place. The Tactacam needs a better barrel mount, regardless of where you set the clamp on the camera. Their mount needs improved. Yes, Tactacam does have a variety of mounts for other weapons, but the shotgun mount isn't very good. The power on/off switch is easier to reach with the Shotkam. The ability to bump the stock really helps activate the camera and is much faster. That really comes in handy for bird hunting situations. Yes, you can turn on the Tactacam as birds work, Bumping the stock really comes in handy for, doves, pheasants, waterfowl when shot opportunities appear quickly The ShotKam self adjusts to light changes. I've got several early morning /late afternoon clips with the ShotKam. The auto white balance is needed when the camera goes from pointing at the ground to a bright sky. If it's too dark for the ShotKam, it isn't legal shooting light. I've watched lots of Tactacam shotgun footage on KZbin. There are lots of videos showing it in use. I have to say, I'm not really impressed with any if it. Yes it is decent and you'll get shots on camera, but in a side by side comparison, the ShotKam footage is better by far.

What's better for not mounting on the gun?. I want to mount this at the target itself from the Sideview while shooting

[@EveryDayLimits]

I feel like you would want a wider field of view like a GoPro. Watch some of my hunts and you can see the view the GoPro is able to capture.

Good video. Congratulations. A query, what do you mean when you say ShotKam = laser=Yes, Tactacam = No. Thanks.

[@EveryDayLimits]

The shotkam has a laser on it that you can turn on and off

[@justovelarde3456]

@@EveryDayLimits Okay. But what is this laser for? IF the Tactacam doesn't have it, is it less accurate? Thanks.

[@EveryDayLimits]

@@justovelarde3456 It does not make it more accurate but it is an extra feature. I have used it when practicing shouldering the gun.

How do you turn the laser on?

How do you turn on the Lazer on the shotKam? Thanks

[@EveryDayLimits]

Hold the power button down for 10 seconds.

Is it good to buy a Tactacam 5.0 on Bass Pro Shop website???

[@EveryDayLimits]

I dont see why not.

[@BosnianBornBeast]

@@EveryDayLimits ok. I bought it.! Thanks for the answer.

If you send shotkam an email they will provide you a discount code

Tactacam goes into sleep mode after 3 minutes.... need to update that...

[@EveryDayLimits]

I wouldn’t call that a sleep mode. That’s more like an auto power off mode since you manually have to push the button to turn it back on. It’s no different than powering the tactacam on if it was turned off.

[@MrOchiman007]

@@EveryDayLimits so a battery saving mode?

[@EveryDayLimits]

@@MrOchiman007 You could maybe call it that. The tactacam more so auto powers off so the battery does not die vs the ShotKam just going into sleep mode that can be awaken with just a light tap on the stock of the gun. Always on and always ready to capture the shot in a seconds notice.
