Spot Shot Spotting Scope Camera

This camera works exactly as advertised. It’s easy to set up, and the clarity is great. I only wish I had gotten the version with the small screen so I could use that to get it set up. It’s not difficult, but would have been a bit simpler.

I got this one and the pro version for evaluation. This one would at least connect with the app, the "Pro" unit would not. I stopped the review early due the issues surrounding using these units. They are low cost, but they do not offer suitable value even if they were free. I have a really nice spotting scope and when viewed with the human eye I get a great image, the image on my phone from this thing was a bad joke. The app is a whole nother story, the name they tell you to look for in the manual has nothing to do with the actual app. The app they send you looking for does not exist. Product says the company is SME, for "Shooting Made Easy", the Amazon listing says HME, maybe that stands for "Huge Mistake Everyone"? Don't waste your time and money, this product is a big miss for the company.

For the price so far so good. The device is simpler to use than using a phone mount and tablet with a third party app. No wifi needed. There is a little lag but it’s manageable clarity isn’t high end but will do for target practice.

I had difficulty getting the camera's wifi working the first time. After I figured out the correct procedure it works easily. Procedure I use: power up the camera, wait for its wifi to power up, with you phone or tablet connect to the wifi using the phones wifi settings, once connection is established and stable then and only then open the app. Also the pro app does not work for me, the basic app does.Also the "Bullseye Target Manager" app from GSM works with this camera!

I shoot 10M Precision Air Rifle in my basement. I wanted to make it easier for me when shooting 3P to see my shots. I have a Kowa spotting scope with a 20x eyepiece. My target is a 12 bull 10m target. When you look through the spotting scope with your eye you see the entire 12 bulls. The SpotShot cannot do so. I had to move it back to 12 meters to get half the target in view. I would have to move back to 15 meters to get the full target in view.The SpotShot will reduce your field of view. To correct this I plan to buy a pan & tilt with remote to let me move the image to the bottom of the target.In addition, the SpotShot has no software to stabilize the image. Any movement will cause your image to really shake. As you can see I solved this by mounting it to my basement wall.The SpotShot is very easy to use, mount to your scope and connect to your iPad. I use it everyday for hours and I have had no issues with the Wifi connecting. My wife can pull up my shooting from the second floor in our house.When focusing you have a lag time from a correction until you see it on the iPad. This is not an issue for me because I never change the focus. But in the field this could be challenging.The SpotShot is not expensive and I would be willing to have paid twice the price if they could solve the field of view and making the image more stable.

This works. My Android phone connected to the wireless signal from the camera and the app worked immediately. I used it on a cheap 60X scope purchased at Walmart and the picture was plenty clear enough to use at the 100 yard distance. The eyepiece clamp easily adjusts and fits tight to the scope. Controls are easy. The app is pretty basic but it works. One note - you need a very stable tripod or mount for the spotting scope you are using.

In spite of reading reviews with problems, I figured that surely after 2 years the product had been fixed.Wrong. I turned the camera on, and then connected to its built-in WiFi network with my phone. When you launch the app, the app crashes immediately if your phone is connected to the camera's WiFi. The phone will only stay connected to the camera's WiFi for about 60 seconds. Then it reverts back to my home network. If you launch the app then, it doesn't crash, but then it can't connect to the camera, either, of course.I called GSM at the tech support number given. Sat on hold for 30 minutes and was transferred to another help line. Sat on hold there for 30 minutes to be told that was the wrong line and I needed to call the number I called to start with. They transferred me back and I sat on hold there for another 20 minutes. Total time on the phone was an hour and twenty minutes with only about 5 minutes actually talking to a person trying to solve the problem.Finally talked to a person and all they could tell me is that they have not updated their app. I asked, "Ever?" and she said she didn't know. I said, "Well, right now this product does not work. According to Amazon review, it has not worked for 2 years. When should I expect a fix?" She said, "I don't know, maybe a couple of weeks." Given how long it has been broken, I'm skeptical it will be fixed in "a couple of weeks".So, this product is completely non-functional out of the box. I tried it with both Apple and Android devices.It's a darn shame, because for the price point this is exactly the product I am looking for to enable seeing through my spotting scope without having to get up and look through it.I will be returning it. I'm very disappointed.
