Some redneck engineering for you (Pics)
 

30 minutes before I got in the stand today, I decided to rig up a riflecam. I split some conduit in half, chopped off a part of an AK-47 receiver, welded it all together and zip tied it to the rifle. and no it aint purty but it works. Unfortunately there was nothing for me to pull the trigger on today.

I think that will jump at the shot too much, won't it?

Show us a video...............I got my popcorn ready!

I like it. It looks like it would work real good for stand hunting. I doubt the recoil would be a problem and would really add a realistic touch and feel to the video when you shoot.

When you break that two piece tube scope in half when the gun recoils don't say I didn't warn you.

I dont think he was looking for advice...I think he was just showing something to us...

So, great job...Have fun and we look forward to the video...

I like it man! Thats cool!

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off a-hole-ish but he did say that he took it to the field today but didn't see anything to pull the trigger on.

Great job on the fabrication of the camera mount but I would be very very leary of attaching that much weight that high up and to the side of the scope right where the tube comes together.

can someone say "soon to be broken vid camera...?" less thats a .223rem you're shooting...

its a 300 win mag. dude is probably right. it might would break the scope. i should probably take it off. i might make a camera arm to attach to my stand.

Thats cool! Kudos to that and lets see a video of your hunt.

Yes, I was going to ask about the caliber size too. I've seen plenty of live camera footage of cameras attached to guns and when the larger calibers are used, there's no seeing the hit as the barrel jumps too much from the muzzle jump. Better footage is seen from the smaller calibers; less jump.

I wonder if the camera will work after the first shot.

I would think it would mess up your zero, too. I would never do it to begin with because of the potential for damage, and it would seem to me require a new sight-in session. It might be the difference between a clean kill or a miss--or, worse, a wounded deer.

I'd also be leery of that thing falling off and banging up the rifle as well as what it might do to one's chances of being able to make a quick follow-up shot. It looks clumsy.

there ya go!! put up the youtube link when ur ready!!

Yeah, your going to break your camera, unless there is some kind of spring or shock absorbtion instrument between the gun and the camera. I wouldn't do it.

I think the camera will be fine but when it flies off the gun its gonna brake your face.

Yeah itsa gunna breaka yo facea!

I'd say it might break the camera due to the recoil. Also, the actual shot will not be captured on the video because as it recoils it will drastically move the camera lense. It's a good idea, but itll be tough to keep the deer in the screen after the shot.

I've seen a bow mounted camera jump so much after a shot that the deer moved out of the screen.

Kool idea though, good luck with it

I don't know how you'll do this but my suggestion would be some kind of brackett so that the camera is firmly attached to the left arm, (assuming a right handed shouter) so that camera is aligned and will be pointing the same direction, when you use your left arm while aiming to shoot. There will be minimal effect of recoil then.

heres an idea spend the money on a muzzle break to reduce ur recoil

i had a 300win mag with a muzzle break & i swear it didnt kick harder than my 243

I think thats too cool. I would love to video a deer hunt.

buy you a riflrecam mount,it has a built in recoil spring that softens recoil.
