I.C.U Plan Beta Tacti-Cam 2.0 Camera - REVIEW

Tacti-Cam 2.0 (Amazon): https://geni.us/4qjS

OK, the reason I put a notice on the end of the video is because of the following:
If you watch the video you'll see me give this camera a 4 star rating there....however, after filming I noticed that BOTH the small screws which are tightened to secure the camera to the rifle have sheared off so I've dropped the rating to a 3 star rating (ideally 2.5 stars).
That may still seem a bit generous but the screws didn't seem to do much anyway - the camera didn't fit to my rail securely even when the screws were unbroken and I had to tape it on to shoot the footage in the video.

The fact that I have to use tape to secure it to the rifle isn't really a big deal to me as the footage delivered by the camera is actually very good - sound is good too so I will definitely use it again......I'll just have to carry a roll of electricians tape.

It's a real shame that the body and rail fixing part of the camera is made from plastic because if it had a proper moving part fixing method to secure it to a rifle it would be a genuinely great product.
Maybe the inevitable '3.0 camera' can rectify the construction quality issues in the future and if the fixing method and camera body are improved I'd probably buy that version.

Would I advise anyone to buy this 2.0 version?
That's a difficult question since the rating I'd like to give this one is 2.5 stars and that's straight down the middle - the footage it shoots really is very good, sound is surprisingly good and ease of use is very simple.
However, that is tempered by the poor construction quality of the camera body and the ineffective fixing method.
I'd probably say "You pay your money and take your chance".

Judging by the reviews on Amazon there are a few of these which don't seem to work at all so if you're going to buy one make sure it is from somewhere like Amazon which has a returns / replacement policy and buyer protection.
Mine works fine (apart from the broken screws and the need to tape it to the barrel mount) but it's not exactly precision made...
