Fascinating video! It's surprising to me to not only track a shell like that, but keep it all in focus too since HS cameras normally have to use very large apertures to get enough light in which makes for a very shallow depth of field.

Yes just a matter of the lens refocusing at a predetermined rate... All you need to know to keep it in focus is where it starts, where it ends, and how fast it's going to get there. The lenses don't have to move nearly as much (in terms of mass/inertia/momentum) and can keep up much easier than an entire camera assembly

I'm wondering about the triggering of them too. I guess light beams or other triggers can be used, as long as you can synchronise them, but if you only had the firing button of a gun to trigger, it would need careful delay adjustment before the camera starts its tracking run.

When shooting explosions, a mirror is often used to protect the camera from explosion and shrapnel. The camera is located behind a reliable barrier and watches the scene through a mirror, when an explosion occurs, the mirror is often destroyed, and the camera does not receive any damage. It's a simple way, but judging by many videos, many bloggers don't know about it and as a result their cameras (often an expensive smartphone) get damaged or completely destroyed.

@g.pattonhughes5991

First, I wouldn't say any of those are conventional cameras. Second, the use of the mirror to track the object allowing the camera to remain stationary simply grasps the physical laws of inertia and mass. The use of the mirror simply minimizes the mass involved in the 'panning' meaning that while it is possible that a camera could 'pan' the projectile, it would be comparatively stupid to do so given the costs of constructing a contraption capable of doing so.

00:40 the “projectile” shows a full armour piercing round (APDSFS) WITH the propellant charge (the bulky part at the rear). In reality only the pointy black part would fly towards the target and deliver the kinetic energy. The sabots would discard a few hundred meters from the muzzle.

That's some mindblowing numbers!
