eagle vision mount
- Thread starter douger
- Start date
I have nothing but trouble trying to fit my Eagle Vision onto my Athlons. That bump at the eye piece, and the silly location of the illumination knob really cause issues. I basically end up using only 3 points of contact and its VERY easy to bump it loose.
Sorry for the bad news.
You might go with a Seben mount instead. It's not as solid as the Eagle vision CAN be but, it would probably work better on the Athlon and cost a lot less.

It depends on what your going to do with it. The Exilim series by Canon is a popular choice due to its (240fps) slow motion filming capability. But, any pocket camera will do. If you want to watch your video in slow motion, just slow down the playback with editing software.
I use the Exilim for scope cam stuff since it's set up for the Eagle vision. I use a nikon coolpix S6800 for my videos and pictures.

The Seben uses the standard 1/4x20 camera threads to mount the camera. The Eagle vision was specifically designed for use with the Exilim series of cameras. So, if you already have the Eagle vision and want to use it, I'd go for an Exilim.
Personally, I'm very used to my "point and shoot" Nikon and will grab it over the Exilim 95% of the time. However, the Exilim has many more features on it(which I don't understand because I'm not camera literate) that could be very useful to someone that understands them. Also (and this may be a setting), my Exilim constantly tries to re-focus when it's shooting through the scope. This is incredibly frustrating as I can actually watch the reticle move on the screen in relation to the target. This is one of a few reasons why I don't post "through the scope" on my videos. I'm using the same Exilim EX-ZR1100 that Ted was, or is still, using for his through the scope vids.
If your camera literate, or want to be, I'd say the Exilim. If not, then your point and shoot of choice.

Man with all the camera stuff and scope and gun poi , It makes this old mans brain hurt, I would like to post videos , Seems like 3 or 4 hundred dollars will get you going ,
point and shot seems like the way to go, But my main interest is in watching my pellets in flight, I want to see what they do in slow motion as they hit there target.
Now you guys I am sure would get sick and tried of watching the sparrow slaughter that I do,
I am just not a camera person ,
Is there an easy simple answer to my question, and can it be made simple , Or do I need to take a collage course as my wife has suggested on the new Canon eos Rebel T61 camera that I have had my sights on?
I know the above camera is not for scope use,

There is a ton of youtube "How to use a camera tutorials" out there. Also, something to consider is, all cameras function on the same basic principal. One thing that really works for me to keep the reticle in focus is use the camera in manual mode, focus the reticle with the camera, then focus the target with the parallax adjustment. Good Luck.

Tom, I had the same issue, so I drilled three new holes and threaded them. So I can have 6 points of contact instead of 3, now there are 9 screw holes total
