About this deal
Despite the extra tech, this device also manages to keep costs reasonably low by using your phone as the monitor – iOS or Android. Most browsers allow you to block cookies within their settings and we have provided links to the most commonly used browsers. The housing uses a standard 22mm Nato/Picatinny rail system so that it can be attached anywhere on your gun!
Be aware that some makers 'upsample' resolutions to make it sound better than it actually is (a common way is recording higher resolution video than the camera's sensor can make use of).This, in turn, lets you better manage your cleaning and potentially save money without taking risks. Some have a rigid arm with a fixed camera, a flexible arm, a soft bendy wire-like extension, or a mixture. You can hit the power button and start recording manually, or alternatively open up the app and initiate recording or streaming from there, as well as adjusting all the other camera settings and functions as required. To view the barrel wall, you can attach the mirror head, but there is a locking collar needed for this which is easily misplaced (though two spare mirror heads are included, which seems generous).
The recorded images and video quality, especially frame rate, could be better, but the live display is good quality and operates well whatever the light. The RunCam Scope Cam 2 4K comes with an integral low profile Picatinny rail mount, keeping the camera tight into your primary weapon, preventing snags and keeping the camera out of the way of your optical sights and other accessories. Tiny mirrors can re-direct the view sideways, for example, while hooks and magnets can help retrieve lost items from hard-to-reach places.A detachable hook, magnet, or mirror end are included and,to help with orientation, the system can also keep the video’s horizon level even as the camera turns. This is a solid unit with a rubberized grip ideal for holding in one hand, and the protective bumpers in the design are appreciated.
