First blood with the home made scope cam

[_walter_]

Came up with this idea while I was shopping for eagle vision lol.

It’s only 3 parts: a clamp, arm, and quick release. The camera is Panasonic lx100 mark1

Manual focus I set before I lined up mr furry so it’s a little back focus. Next time I will stop down to f/5.6, and try to focus once I have the target in scope (difficult because they are fast and don’t stay in the same spot). I did what I had to this time to test proof of concept and I’m pretty satisfied 8/10.

That’s interesting, what size/brand scope?

Looks like it’s working great. Nice rig!

So you look through the camera, right?
Nice Lumix BTW.

Yes, actually looking through the electronic viewfinder of the camera which happens to be in the perfect position (got lucky with this). A camera with a screen only might be a challenge because eye relief would be further back and then there’s no proper shouldering

Nothing wrong with getting lucky.
