Eagle Vision Scope Cam Mount Setup

[clgraham82]

Finally got all the pieces together for my scope cam setup. I couldn't bring myself to superglue the ring mount on the camera, so I drilled and tapped three set screws for it. The screws are 6/32 but are a little too long but were the shortest ones Lowes had. The whole setup is more sturdy than the Orion Steadypix and it is centered on the scope without adjustments. Now if the weather will just cooperate so I can get outside to try it out!

Here's a little clip taken utilizing the Eagle Vision scope cam adaptor for a Hawke Sidewinder 6-24 x 56 scope. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NEWER HAWK WITH INTEGRATED DUST COVERS REQUIRE A DIFFERENT THREADED EYEPIECE ADAPTOR THAN THAT USED ON THE EARLIER VERSIONS.

I picked up my kit up at http://eaglevisioncam.com/ this is a UK site tho...you can also buy it from AoA & http://www.penchetta.com/store/air-guns.html?. Just make sure you get the right scope ring for your scope...either HPS-2 or HSW-1.

No videos worth posting yet lol

HJ, nice scope cam work there. Cross hairs are sharp and target is in focus as well great job. I had issues seeing the pellet in travel but good job.

Hey cigraham I used your idea and drilled and tapped some 6/32 grub screws and it works great.. The only problem I am having is that the control ring still rotates, and it rotates a little too easy. Any bump on the rifle or if you tilt the rifle to the right the weight of the camera make the camera spin on the control ring or whatever it is. Did you do anything to make the ring on the camera not rotate or at least stiffin it up..

It's the camera's control ring moving on you and not the Eagle Vision ring you mounted right? No I didn't do anything other than tighten the grub screws down. I've used mine mainly on my shooting bench though and not hunting so I haven't notice my move on it's own. Not sure what to tell you...if the camera is from China where I got mine...I'm sure they're not all created equal!

Yes it's the camera's control ring that is moving. Primarily on the right side, and rotating clockwise, because the majority of the camera hangs that way. I might try and put a small drop of blue locktight on the control ring at the bottom of the camera, just to make it a wee bit harder to turn. Thanks for the response.

Ive just used the same setup on my hawke.I just put a piece of double sided tape on the camera body and than a piece that goes from that to the eagle vision adapter.It holds pretty good.

For the sidewinder how do I know which adapter ring I need? 

My my dust covers can screw in and out. Is that considered integrated? If yes, then I would need HPS-2?

I don't have a sidewinder scope but this is from his website...

STEP: 2 CHOSE YOUR SCOPE EYE RELIEF RING
please note before you chose you kit, measure inside diameter of your scope thread on the eye relief, see the photos for more details
if it is around 35mm you need to go for HSW-1
if it is around 36.30mm you need to go for HPS-2

Makes me want to drop a little coin on the neat camera set ups.
90 % of mine would just seeing sparrows blow up with about 10% euro doves,
I think the videos are a BIG selling point to non air gunners that , See how easy we shot in close and in back yards....
and are very accurate in the 100 yard range and more. One set up would have to fit all my guns as I could not afford to equipped all three with cameras .

I have about $250 or so in my Eagle Vision (Manafacturer direct) and Exilim Camera (used direct from e-bay seller in Japan).

It's too cool not to have Mike. Moves from Scope to Scope pretty easily.
