Default Scope Cam alternative

Good news for shooters who use adaptive gun supports that make it hard to put your eye up to the scope, or those who want to help a blind hunter aim a rifle.
I use a Trophy Shot scopecam, and I’m happy with it, but this product seems to have disappeared from the market.
While researching the Internet I came across this less expensive alternative: a digital camera on an Orion SteadyPix Deluxe Camera Mount (which is designed for taking photos through a telescope).
Although it looks good, I haven’t tried this out. The camera must have macro-focus capability, so you’ll have to experiment to find a model that works with your setup.
Here’s a video of the setup:

And a link to Amazon.com for the camera mount:
