Gun-Cam Mount?

[Aquamarine]

Well thanks to the help of TokyoSeven and his engineering background, we cobbled up something in the garage.


As you can see, it's a very simple device. The top is a replacement mount for an Optex tripod, price of $15. I removed the safety 'pin' although on second thought, I probably should have left it on. Oh well.


I then epoxy'd the L-bracket to the tripod mount and let it sit for 30 hours outside (trust me fellas, if you haven't experienced the 'joy' of the epoxy-smell, it REALLY is not a pleasant thing to experience)



The L-Bracket is then mounted quite securely to a spare scope mount.



And then mounted onto the side of the PSG-50


The scope mount is then mounted to my RAS




And then with the camera mounted and ready to go



Oooh... I could use the video camera as my scope



I'll just pick up a filter (39mm) to protect the lense


And also find some sort of protection for the screen itself. The downside is that the bloody camera turns off/stops recording as soon as the little window closes... damnit.


Y HELLO THAR

If it has an eye piece, then there will be either an option in the camera's settings menu to "switch to eyepiece" when the side panel is closed.

OR

There will be an "eye piece button" that toggles between the two screens.

Nice setup, by the way, too bulky for my liking, but it's still damn nice.

No eye-piece. Sadly.

Well... poo. Gonna need to be careful then

[TokyoSeven]

Well Im glad you liked my idea. When I have time I'll try and come up with something a little more solid. Even though this rig is solid now, Id like to try and improve on it and maybe even create a shield for the screen some how.
But hey it was simply quick thing that was effective. Props to you for supplying materials Aqua.

I will need to file down the front angled edge of the L-bracket since it rips open my wrist.
