Re: camera mount ideas??

My buddy just rigged a mount on his gun for his camera. Its pretty simple but i found it ingenious. He shoots with a 110 beuchat and towards the back of the gun there is a line clip. He took that out and used the hole to thread a stainless eye bolt through it, the bolt is aproximately 3/16ths of an inch thick and 3 inches long.

he then stuck a bolt, the same thread size as the camera mount, with rubber bushings on either side of the bolt and nut to hold it to the eye bolt at a 90 degree angle. Then on the other end of the bolt he used a wingnut and rubber bushing to tighten to the camera. hes able to pivot the camera up and down and side to side pretty easy. the footage is pretty cool, its kind of like a first person shoot-um-up game. the recoil on the gun kind of messes with the footage though.

This is probably pretty confusing but if you like I could post a pic to you. Let me know if your interested.
