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:
