Use of target camera system for load development documentation

[toteone]

I am getting ready to begin developing a load for 223 rounds for accuracy out to 300 yds.  In the process of buying, shooting several boxes of quality factory ammo with differing bullet weights to determine what my AR likes/dislikes as a possible starting point, I got tired of walking down to targets...especially at 200/300yds.  So I began researching spotting scopes until someone mentioned using target camera system which not only streams live but logs and records individual shots and groups for much less money.

My research led me to Bullseye Sight In system supposedly good out to 300 yds. with nice software that allows recording of everything electronically.

Anyone have experience with these systems or the Bullseye in particular.  This seems like it would cut way down on time to accomplish load tests, not to mention less walking.  I saw the Bullseye for $259 online, much cheaper than a quality spotting scope.

One of my shooting buddies has a similar camera system. I haven't seen/used it in person, but he said there was an optional repeater that would extend the range out to near 1k yds. Let us know what you end up with please.

There are also Bluetooth camera systems that work with your phone. I'm not sure of the broadcast range, but most of these are under $50. You can save the results as photos on your phone.

Mount them with tripods from your local Thrift store. Digital photography has generally made home use of tripods obsolete, so they are always for sale for $5.

Any bad shots, just use Whiteout on your phone's screen.

Few years back, I experimented with quadcopters drones and FPV (First Person View flights). I was able to use a 5.8ghz (Wifi) transmitter and receiver up to 800 meters (the system can even go further).
After letting go of that hobby, I converted the onboard video system to a target camera. It worked really well. But if you are in to it, you would need little bit of knowledge of electronic and soldering (nothing too complicated).
All you really need is a camera, a TX (transmitter), an Rx (receiver), a TV screen, batteries, a tripod and a case to carry it all. Maybe $200 box. So maybe not that cheaper after all.
Here is a video showing my 1/2 mile trip. Nothing too exciting, except the video quality at max range.

JoeL uses that type of system often. I wouldn't mind but with MY luck, I'd shoot the camera by accident. I'd need an AR500 mount for it....

I found out that the first shot was the most critical, so I placed my camera far enough away to not get harmed.
Then, when dialed in and shots were within a couple of inches, on the target, I brought back the camera closer.
That's when the lens is important, you have to decide if you want close up but narrow lense or wide angle lense when choosing your camera.

Wow, that is impressive quality, I am afraid I don't have the time to make something.  I only need to go out to 300 - 500 yds as there is no convenient location nearby to shoot longer distances.  Plus my 3gun matches normally don't exceed 300yds....usually 100 to 200yds.
Still wanting to hear from anyone who has used Caldwell Ballistic Long range system or the Bullseye Sight On system.  Have found both around $270ish.
