Your Scope-cam footage is blurry and it’s all your fault.

[@tterryshenanigans1820]

Holy smokes, glad to see you back Ted. Your channel singlehandedly got me interested in what air rifles are capable of. I hope things are going well.

[@derekkightlinger3547]

I agree Ted. You are the one that got me back into air rifles from my youth and first rifle daisy 880. On your review of the avenger I purchase a .22 cal avenger pcp and have absolutely loved it! I cannot wait to see more from you!

[@mr-gain]

Hopefully Element Optics will offer bifocal and varifocal scopes for us older users soon.

[@FarmerFpv]

I feel like I just got scolded by my parents. Sometimes we need a good smack, lol. That makes sense, I wear glasses but I have not got my vision rechecked in years, It's Time to go back to the ey doctor and fix this blurry image. Thanks, Ted, you're still worth a damn so keep coming back.

[@Matt-dc8lp]

The good ol' days when Ted could post videos without getting channel strikes.

[@ronrichmond4694]

Yeah..let’s bring those days back

[@toddolatheks.1328]

Mr. Ted. I’m so glad you’re back. In April I made a very large purchase. I bought both wildcats and it’s all your fault. Thanks so much. So much joy, so happy and ecstatic. The best fun I’ve had in a long time and it’s all your fault. Thanks 🙏

[@HunterOne_Productions]

You’re absolutely right. I’m struggling in my videos right now because my vision is going to crap. Good to see you back.

[@AirgunEvolution]

Hi Ted, For a lot of scope camera set-ups (non GoPro Cameras) we have figured out the eye adjustment needs to be at about the mid point. I found the best way to find this for your scope cam set up is just by testing it, I start at the mid point & check the footage, than turn in a bit & check again if the footage if it gets worse go the other way keep testing until you until you fine tune it. Pro tip: Once you fine tune it measure the gap with some calipers so if your buddy re-adjusts it to his eye you know where to reset it. There is also one other HUGE factor that plays a major role in clear footage, the side focus. the camera views this different from your eye on some scopes, for example I have to get my shot perfectly in focus and them rotate the side wheel an 1/8 of an inch out of focus to get it so the camera sees the target perfectly in focus... Getting good at this just comes with repeated practice. On some scopes you don't need to do this and the direction you need to turn the wheel can be different scope to scope too... This is where a added monitor like the one you showed really comes in to play setting this all up, for any one reading this that doesn't have a little added monitor no worries you can connect your scope camera directly to your T.V. with the right USB cable, or you can just test and view the footage.

[@ShawnWoodsMousetrapMonday]

Thanks you so much! I just ordered my first real airgun (FX Wildcat MKIII) and I really appreciate all your advice.

[@ronrichmond4694]

Welcome to the “new” airgun world Shawn. I think you’ll enjoy it while being impressed.

Just saw this Shawn. Thanks for stopping by! The wildcat is a perfect rat smacker. 👍

[@youtubecomments5951]

After watching Ted for few years I finally got a pcp instead of break barrel. I got a hatsan flashpup and a umarex compressor and they don’t work. I now need by a foster fitting I believe. Can’t wait to get it all working.

[@fernrucci4934]

Glad to see you. Welcome back!. While you were away I watched ALL your videos on KZbin.

I always wondered why everyone had their ocular piece screwed out. Whenever I tried it the reticle became super blurry and disappeared altogether, just like if I put on glasses! Mystery solved

Damnit Ted, I'm 51 and just started wearing the cheaters to read. I have the whole eagle vision setup. But can't get the clear footage like you said. I adjusted my element scope with this old naked eye. Can't wait to try fixing it this weekend. Thanks brother.

Good advice Ted. I have some ideas for the ultimate break barrel, things that have never been done before, things that could possibly put the break barrel concept up there with the performance of a PCP. Let me know if there is any interest, I'd be glad to share what could revolutionize the air gun industry. Thanks for the video!

[@HoldOverVlog]

Let your glasses correct your vision, instead of the ocular lens. 👍

[@Femolosa]

That is one way to do it, the other one is that the side shot could have a focusing lens after the prism.

Can't weld worth a smit, at least anything off the bench, like under some piece of equipment that your head and helmet don't fit in. Open sights don't work as good as they used to.

Hey man where have you been??? Glad to see you again😎 I hope to see a lot more videos from you. Good explanation so now a figured why I always have a problem with blurry pictures on my scope. If I'm not wrong; if I'm shooting without camera I can use my glasses because they gave me a normal vision, but if I want to have a clear image with camera I have to use my reading glasses??? Or I miss something????

[@biagiocozza8875]

Great video Ted, so what are you telling me, I’m getting old, Nah no way.

[@bigfranksworld]

So I have a new Eaglevision mount and lens, and a new Gopro 12. (previously using a side-Shot and Gopro 4). I get it all setup, adjusted the lens to look good (with my glasses on) and set the parallax to 50 yards on the scope. At this point, everything was in focus and looked good. Shot some video with these settings and it looked good. Thought I was in the clear, but when I took it out hunting, anything past 50 yards (when I adjust the parallax to look right in the scope) cones out blurry in the video. Any help you can provide on how to get this right would be very much appreciated. I just haven't found a good video on how to fix this, and Masood doesn't help unless it's to point me to a video, which in this case I have not got one. Thanks Ted!

[@LowkeyAirgunner]

[@anthonylutz1365]

Hi Ted. My name is Reuben, and I am 15 years old, and I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington on a farm & my dad, and I have recently got into this FX thing & so far, we've liked it. So, he bought a FX Impact M3 22cal and I bought a FX Dreamline bullpup 22cal and I had a few questions. So, my first question is the FX Dreamline Bullpup is similar to the FX Bob Cat or the FX wild Cat & if I could apply the information of your videos, you've put out on the FX Bob Cat & Wild Cat to the Dreamline bullpup? I also was wondering if you had a harmonic layout for the H&N Baracuda Mach pellet or the highbred slugs in 22cal? I know I didn't ask any questions on the relevant video, but I've been waiting for a recent video. I wait for your response thanks!!

[@FXAirguns]

It’s best comparison is the FX Wildcat, unless it’s a Dreamline Power-Pup, which compares best to the Fx Maverick due to its massive plenum.
