Camo-ing a Camera
 

How do yall go about Camo-ing a camera for hunting turkeys and animals with keen eyesight????

I used to camo my cameras, I don't anymore. I found it is unnecessary. You can never cover the glass on your lens and that is what wildlife will see the most. If you want to camo your camera, there is cloth camo tape that you can put on it.

That's exactly what I did , but to be honest it wasn't necessary , they ignored it before I taped it . It does look cool though . [8D]

As was said, it's not necassary. Animals that are keen such as the turkey and coyote, will see any movement before they see a camera as being anything to do with danger.
I do a lot of videoing called coyotes. We call them close and I can't think of a time that the camera had anything to do with scaring the coyote. Usually its the operator of the camera of it's the hunters movement, or its the critter smelling one or the other that spooks it! Of course, turkey don't smell ya, BUT they are very good at picking up the movement.

I'll tell you what I did which helps in other ways as well. I took a piece of camo material about 3x3 and cut a hole big enough for the camera lens and another for the mic. I added velcro to the camera and material so that it stays in place. I made the holes in the middle of the fabric towards the top so that most of the material hangs below the camera which does 3 things, it not only hides the camera, it hides the tripod and allows me to move behind it to adjust camera, tripod, to call etc....it's worked wonderfully.

I don't know if the camera needs to have camo or not.One thing that I did though is I had an old face mask that went on skin tight.I don't know if they still make them anymore.But I cut a hole for the lens and just pulled it over the camera.It works great.

I think he's talking about video or hand held stills? I used camo clad on my video cam just to cover up the major silver parts so they don't attract attention when I am moving it.
