Using FPV technology to see what a competitive pistol shooter sees

I wanted to get this posted before the end of the FPV contest, but I missed the 9AM deadline. Oh well..

I got to the range yesterday and recorded some video. Unfortunately the video out from the headset was not working so I mounted the headset on a stand, set the mobile phone camera pointing at one eye display and looked at the other eye display.

I started with this 25mm M12 lens. Either the lens barrel or the camera female threads are not long enough to focus correctly. The focus at 50 ft was ok, but anything closer than that was significantly blurry. I don't know if they make M12 lens extensions or if I just got a dud lens.

Here is a 50 foot 5 shot string with a Feinwerbau 22 pistol and Aimpoint Micro red dot scope.

Here is a 50 foot 5 shot string with a RRA 1911 45 pistol and Aimpoint Micro red-dot scope, including an oopsy shot.

And for those of you open sight shooters, I tried 2 lenses. First the 25mm lens, which needs to be focused closer than the threaded barrel will allow. This is really quite useless.

I then tried a lens marked '45°' which I think is about 8mm focal length. The resolution of the target and sights just isn't good enough to shoot accurately.
