I tried it out this past weekend with my wife's Canon SX120 and I didnt fare so well. I also tried a few mounting options and some were ok, others not so much... but it gives me a few platforms to tweak and adjust when I can find a camera that works. Im hoping for a few suggestions that can be filled in the neighborhood of 50 dollars on craigslist. _________________ Benjamin Marauder .25 cal scoped with Bushnell 4-16/40AO CF with Hill hand pump Gamo Hunter 220 .177 with CP 4-16/AO   Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 10:02 am twalter Veteran Member Joined: 12 Jun 2011 Posts: 180 Location: East TN USA ...crickets....crickets.... take it that is no one? _________________ Benjamin Marauder .25 cal scoped with Bushnell 4-16/40AO CF with Hill hand pump Gamo Hunter 220 .177 with CP 4-16/AO   Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 11:53 am oddtodd Silver Status Member Joined: 30 Dec 2008 Posts: 2029 Location: Richmond, IN USA Somebody did it a while back because I can remember seeing the pictures.

Or would a dedicated system be better for what you want. I use a spotting scope with a camera adapter to photograph birds etc. Al _________________   Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2012 10:40 pm twalter Veteran Member Joined: 12 Jun 2011 Posts: 180 Location: East TN USA No, I wanted to do video through the scope like all the kids on Youtube are doing these days. So you can get the commentary and see the little nutters take it in the wheelhouse to relive the glory of the hunt. I have a few mounts in mind that I have protypes laying around the house, I just couldnt get the wife's camera to focus on the reticule and what I was looking at through the scope. So I was just curious what cameras folks were having success with, not how the were doing it. I heard it from a few guys on the youtube videos that it took a few different camers till they found one that could handle the infinity focal point with the reticule so close.

Also supposed to be an HD version later this year (at a higher price of course). _________________ ` I'd say "I care." But I'd be lying.

High School basketball is very time consuming! However, yes, I have videos up using a Seben DKA2 Scope Cam mount. I have commentary up with me doing some plinking, but I have been unsuccessful when it comes to hunting through the scope cam. You should try it! It's a real challenge trying to hunt through the camera! The Seben DKA2 scope cam mount is about $60, and I really could only find it on eBay.   Posted: Fri Jan 20, 2012 10:40 pm Jr. Squirreler Veteran Member Joined: 12 Dec 2010 Posts: 419 Location: New York Jr. Squirreler wrote: Sorry about the late response!

How much separation is there between the scope and the camera lens in your set up? _________________ Benjamin Marauder .25 cal scoped with Bushnell 4-16/40AO CF with Hill hand pump Gamo Hunter 220 .177 with CP 4-16/AO   Posted: Mon Jan 23, 2012 8:17 pm twalter Veteran Member Joined: 12 Jun 2011 Posts: 180 Location: East TN USA Just found this http://www.leisurepro.com/prod/DRFDPTMT.html?gclid=CNK3hOa7560CFULe4AodFnok7A and I think this could work as a "quick connect" to wrap around the stock or a fitted bracket http://www.walmart.com/ip/Joby-Gorillapod-Original-Gray/14541903 http://www.walmart.com/ip/JOBY-GP1001AM/16225329 _________________ Benjamin Marauder .25 cal scoped with Bushnell 4-16/40AO CF with Hill hand pump Gamo Hunter 220 .177 with CP 4-16/AO   Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2012 1:47 pm dobiman Veteran Member Joined: 30 Mar 2010 Posts: 167 Location: Gil's Isle, USA I'm thinking of doing the same thing too.
