Homemade Casio Camera Bracket for FX Wildcat

I did not like the Orion SteadyPix adapter for mounting my Casio Exilim camera to my Wildcat as it is too heavy, bulky and easy to knock out of alignment. I bought some pvc pipe and various other fittings trying to come up with a good solution to meet my requirements. I ended up not using the pvc for this adapter. This is the first prototype so to say for my Wildcat .25 caliber. using a couple of .58 cent angle brackets as an starting point. The video should show what I put together. I think the lcd screen viewfinder with 2.8x magnifier is really a good addition in this project. I speak off the cuff in my videos so some comments may not be as clear as needed. Like when I said I took off the knurl knob off the viewfinder to use on the camera. The knob does come attached to the viewfinder braket with a C clip and since I use the view finder on my camcorder too I don't need the knurl knob attached to the viewfinder permanently. I'm thinking I will try adapting and moving this bracket forward to see if I can eventually shoulder the rifle and shoot in a more natural shooting position. I need to go out in the field and do some shooting so I can test and refine this bracket to see if it can work. Bill
