Mounting video camera on shotgn barrel
Hey everyone. I've been thinking about filming my own hunts. Have not decided on what videocamera to use yet. More often than not i will be by myself.
For turkey hunting, will a barrel mounted camera work well, or would the recoil of the shot be hard on the videocamera?
Would it be worse on a hard drive camera?
Same for a bow mounted videocamera?
I was thinking of getting the Rifle Cam Mount. It does have a recoil shock absorber. http://www.theriflecam.com/pdf/riflecam.pdf

I honestly wouldn't suggest a gun mount because the recoil will cause the camera to miss some of theafter shot. Go find the cheapest tripod you can find and put your camera on that.

I'd just get a tripod. Nikon makes a decent camo one for about $70. http://www.opticsplanet.net/nikon-co...mo-tripod.html
