So I thought I would start documenting the kills... A video from today is over in the BS area... Well I decided to make a mount for my new Battle Cam! I used a Weaver Rail low profile scope ring to clamp the mini cam to my 2250 CAN KILLER! Here are some of the photos of the set up. Pivot point for Hight Adjustment. _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

No doubt on a confirmed kill caught on tape... _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

Eat hot lead, you tinplate vermin! Are there any cameras out there rated for springers? Kidding aside, it's a cool idea. _________________ ¡Listo! ¡Apunte! ¡Fuego!   Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2008 8:46 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA Slavia wrote: ...Are there any cameras out there rated for springers? Kidding aside, it's a cool idea. I am not sure... but if we put our heads together... I am sure we could come up with a iso mount. _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

I have to make a gun mount for my camera. An elastomer isolated design could probably be fabricated to absorb springer vibration.   Posted: Sun Nov 30, 2008 9:52 pm yourdaddyjoe Supporting Member Joined: 26 May 2008 Posts: 4027 Location: Tatorville, USA Just so you all know... Most camera tripods are 1/4"-20 pitch... I bought a bunch of clamping knobs for the take down stocks I make... They work great with a o-ring on top to keep them from droping out of the mount. _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

Too much travel and you will end up with a pendulum effect in your video... _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

Al Al, Is your camera mounted upside down? _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

I think that I will make a solid one for the Condor first. It has a very soft recoil cycle and produces the most dramatic results upon pellet impact. Maybe I can get some good shots of some long range snowshoe flips. The young ones do 4-5 foot high back flips after they eat the fermented feed. They make quite a bit of noise when hit too.

I wonder if you use a thick o-ring between the camera and the mount and another between the clamping knob and the mount if that would be enough. _________________ Say "NO" to BB Gun Wars...

Al Al, Is your camera mounted upside down? Yes it is Joe, I thought about making a bracket to mount it the right way up but decided it was easier to correct it using Adobe Premier. The mount screw is standard whitworth thead 1/4 x 20, so I made the sling fittings the same size, but only on a Co2 gun I think a springer would wreck the camera. I did try a rubber mount between the camera and the stock but all this did was to shake the camera all the time. The smaller Ixus camera in movie mode works better than the wideo camera, also a lot lighter.
