My FX Impact "X" The mods have begun! "Camera Mount!" pg. 4
- Thread starter toku58
- Start date
kmd, I got inspired when I came across Matt Dubber 's video on the RusBear mount. (Actually annoyed) When I saw the "Crack Head" price that he was asking for it.
I got a great idea, while watching that video. I'm going to mount a camera on my mount. I think I got it worked out. So far I got about $80 into to this mount, I have an old Cannon camera that I'm not using. If my Idea works out I'll spring for a better camera.
But I'm guessing the total cost to make one of these will be less than $100.00
The great thing is that this mount will be able to mount to any scope. And it can be used as a cell phone mount (How it originally came) and a HD Camera mount.
So for Less than $100 you'll have several mounts to play with.
No 3D printing needed! Anyone can make this on there spare time.
Will update when I get all the details worked out!

You WILL get a nicer picture, BUT, at least for me, the Haji Hack allows you to see through the scope. I also like his explanation on the camera orientation and the hammer strike effect on the video.
What lens is he using now? I’m thinking of buying one to start my own project. Thanks.

No. I think you misunderstood.
I'm mounting the camera with the prism so you can still use the scope as a scope. Matt and Ted doesn't seem to have issues with Hammer strikes? I don't see the hammer strikes being an issue in Bob_O videos either. (He uses the SideShot)
My mount is essentially the same as Hajimoto just the tube I use is adjustable to fit any scope. (I don't need the 3D printed tube) check out the picture I posted earlier.
Rather than mounting a GoPro I'm mounting a digital camera. That would solve the lack of zoom on the camera.
We'll see if my idea works out? So far it looks promising. I should have the prototype ready by this weekend.

I agree, he charges way too much it. It clearly looks like he print the part, which costs very, very little. he then slaps a cheap Chinese GoPro "knock-off" in there. Add the $30 dollar two-way mirrors and you are done.Having said this, I am glad he at least did something though... I wish more people would go ahead and come up with new products. Competition is good for business, if you know what I mean.
I cant' wait to see what you come up with! : )

Yes, I did misunderstand. Thanks for explanation. Do you happen to have a link to that mount? I search for it, but can’t find it. Thanks!

Well prelim trials seems to work really well! Maybe I need to invest in a better camera?
All in total I think it was around $90 parts and labor. (Not including the cost of the camera.)
But you guys should try it!
The reason I didn't just use one piece of PVC and glue the camera direct was because I wanted to be able to still use the camera as a camera. And the slip fit of the coupling allows me to fine tune the adjustment!
SUPER STOKED!!!!
Parts:
Prism
Phone scope mount
1/2" Delrin plate
1 1/4" PVC about an inch long
1 1/4" PVC coupling cut to about 1" long
some super glue
And a Digital camera

LOL! I haven't used this camera so long I can't figure out how to get the video from the camera to my computer. Stand by! Technical difficulty!

Damn amateurs... ?
Edit: Take the memory card out or just connect it to the computer. Using the card will require an adapter/card reader, unless of course you have one build-in to your laptop or desktop.
Using a cable is pretty straight forward... if you have the cable. ?

No editing straight from the card to the computer and to youtube. the camera picks up too much sound
That truck is about 60 yards away

Dude, that looks great! Awesome job! I believe at the end you zoomed in using the camera, nor the scope, right?

The scope is a fixed 12x SWFA SS. The zoom was done with the camera
I'll make a post just for the build of this so others can give it a shot!
