  • Let’s talk Cameras 2023

    It’s 2023 now and I’m ready for to use with FSX2020. I only have i little bit of distance between my room walls and the hitting area so probably need a wider angle. I don’t think going to be using swing catalyst and i like to a camera that can capture in lower lighting. I don’t necessarily need it to be 4K or even 1080 i rather be able to catch videos with zero blur. Any suggestions?

    Joining/Bumping this thread. I too am on the hunt for the right camera and don't have much distance between where I swing and can't mount cameras, so a wide angle will likely be needed as well. I will let you know if I find anything, but hopefully the community here can help us out.

      I am running two of the Imaging Source DBK 33UX273 cameras, TBL 2.5 C 5MP lenses, and TLH CS-F holders for the lenses. I too have not much distance from wall to hitting area and this lens works though there is a little fisheye so take away may look like its outside ball line a little when it is not. I have no issues at all in swing catalyst. I did/do have issues in FSX though as the high fps/resolution was causing a caching issue after a few swings and the cameras would stop working. So if using within FSX you need to dial back the resolution and FPS (running 1 camera prob fine vs. 2 as well)... but in swing catalyst I'm running around 120fps on high resolution with great results. Lighting plays the biggest role in FPS here, as well as sensor size.

      I may look into a camera higher quality/larger sensor for better image and fps but price jumps VERY fast. The above setup was about $900 USD for both cameras.

        You can get the Imaging Source Cameras from Surfthing Computers. They are the dealer for IS now.

        SurfThings has not responded to multiple emails within the last few weeks and the cameras aren't listed on the website anymore....

      Anybody have issues with the cameras dropping in FSX? Mine go black and I have to go refresh them in the settings over and over throughout a session. I have these Kayeton cameras but interested in upgrading. Anybody try a Go Pro in webcam mode?

      Any known fixes for this?
