    Swing cam.... does it matter which one?

    I'm leaning toward FXS software for a used GC2 due to the game improvement it may offer.
    I'm thinking about adding a swing camera to it and I'm wondering if others have done this, which cam they bought and what specs are needed for it to all work together.
    Also do any of these answers change with other software (again I'm only looking at swing mechanics).
    Thank you in advance?

      If you search p3eps threads I think he has some custom cheaper solutions off eBay, looking into it myself.

        Yeah I just figured as high as they are on software I might get a better deal elsewhere.

          I have two web cams. A Logitech c920 and a Brio 4K webcam. I have one setup DTL and one setup face one. Both are good enough for my live online lessons. Fsx only lets you use one at a time but the integration is pretty cool! I am not using a high end high FPS solution but it's been plenty for me so far.

            Curious how close you can have those cameras to get a full picture? My room is small and don't want to invest if it's not going to work.
            Face on i have about 4 ' and DTL 7' . I have been using my iphone with a snap on wide angle lens.

          Snaphook I have 13 feet and I hit offset. So the face on camera is probably 4 ft or less. 90% of my swing fits with th c920. I think the brio is a wider lens so I bet it would fit with it but I am using the brio for the DTL currently. I haven't measured but I bet it's 6 feet to the DTL camera. I can try to post pics later if you are interested.

            Sounds good. Very interested too see some pics of the setup. Is there a big difference in picture quality between the cams? What fps/resolution are you using? Can you see the shaft clearly in the swing. (obviously a bit blurred but is it bad?)

          Stingreye Could you post some pics or videos of a swing from your cameras?
