Video Rifle Setup
« on: February 14, 2009, 09:46:54 PM »
I wanted to set something up similar to the rigs I've seen on a few varmint videos. Here's one I build with my little DV cam mounted on my NEF 22 Hornet. I've shot it quite a few times at paper and with it set to EIS (image stabil...) it's pretty steady.

I'm really impressed with the IR night setups I've seen on the air rifles. There's quite a few youtube vids of guys building these for small game. Pretty slick cuz you get to watch the flash of the pellet right on with the scope reticles. Check em out.

Have you tried anything like this? What's worked best for you?

cool, but that looks heavy
No people will tamely surrender their Liberties, nor can any be easily subdued, when knowledge is diffused and Virtue is preserved. On the Contrary, when People are universally ignorant, and debauched in their Manners, they will sink under their own weight without the Aid of foreign Invaders.

I see what you mean, littlebuff. It's more of an illusion. This little mini-DV cam is only about 1 pound. The rifle and scope are small too. Not much weight at all and it's a pretty quick attach/detach mount.

Now if I can just get out there and have this rifle and camera setup with me when it's "GO" time.

No, but that's what's cool about the IR night setups I've seen. They mount the cam lens to the scope eye piece and so the reticle shows on the viewfinder and that's what they use - since the camera is now in the way. Makes for sweet footage.
