Obviously this is prototype and will be enhanced cosmetically before shipping. It's a shoot through system like on the Fury-X cam. Interesting concept.

Obviously cosmetic enhancing, but even if you polish it up, it's still going to be the ugliest goddamn cam of all time. I mean, it'll beat the PSE Onecam hands down, and that just looks nasty.

Anyone who wants a true shoot-through is almost certainly going to want a twin cam anyway, and the Fury-X is good for that. Also, that idler wheel has to weigh a ton, and that's going to slow it down no end.

Still, it's a nice idea... :-?

It's a logical direction to go and really, there's nothing outrageous about the design. Providing they keep the cam profiles correct it should shoot just like a regular one but without the cable-guard torque.

I think the trick with this design will be making it attractive enough to buy. The marketing dept are probably losing sleep already.

LOL Mathews are most likely making it right now.....it would fit nicely in their product range.

That's after they claimed to invent it first :rofl:
