Tactacam Spotter 4+

The ability to remotely control the Spotter LR camera while attached to my Vortex Viper HD is a must because the scope shakes anytime the camera is touched. The app does a nice job of taking videos, changing settings, and managing images. Unfortunately I need to zoom the camera to X4 to fill the entire frame when taking videos or photos. While this works fine with videos, the app will only take photos in X1 zoom. Since I take more photos than videos, I have to disconnect the app and turn the camera off and then back on to take photos.

The WiFi also needs a little help. After several hours of failed attempts and much resource I found that my iPhone cell data must be turned off when using the app. So much for receiving text messages or phone calls when using the app.

I'm sending back my spotter lr as it's absolutely worthless without an app that actually works. You guys are charging $300 for $35 chinese hardware - you could probably afford to hire a programmer or two to fix the app. Or hire me and I'll get it done for you.
The primary issue for me, is the total lack of proper functionality on iPad. The screen when in landscape mode is still stuck in portrait mode, utilizing maybe 15% of the total screen for video.

Ok, so as dumb as that is, it gets worse. I'm lime ok, can live with the major flaw, as long as I can at least review the shots after. You know like WATCH the video. Nope, the dumb gets dumber. The video I just recorded pulls up sideways, in portrait mode. You gotta be kidding me! Rotate screen and it's almost comical watching the video rotate upside down and sideways making itself totally useless no matter which way you turn the iPad. I would have to try really hard to pull off such a failure. You'd have to know what you were doing to screw it up this bad.

I'll be getting a refund and picking up one of the other devices to try. I really wanted the 4k, but without support, it's $300 garbage.

Get with the program Tacticam. Fix yer stuff!

Connection to the camera fails every time. Camera WiFi is on, phone shows it’s connected, failed connection message appears every time.
App is of no use. The camera isn’t as useful as advertised without a functional App.
