Camera Mount for Picatinny Rail

[markm]

I love it. I have the same camera and a Joby Gorillia mini tripod. I am going to have to try it out.

It's not fun to shoot that setup. But you will capture video.

If the camera had another tripod mount on the side, it would open more AR mounting options. But I doubt that the had any Tactical types on the design team.

The gorillia pod mount will twist and bend to all kinds of crazy angles.

Yep. I found 3 ways of getting it onto an AR. The way I settled on in the pic was the most stabile for the camera.

I'd like to set it up facing the shooter to get some cool brass flying video.

I know I'm probably gonna catch hell for asking but if you shoot right handed, did you try rotating the camera to the left side of the weapon. I can see how it would mess with your cheek wield as is but if it was on the other side. Not sure because I've never had a chance to shoot an ar before. Mostly pistols and a lever action.

If you are right handed and have the stock in your right shoulder, shooting with your right eye, then your left eye (which you should try and keep open) has a wide field of view. Since the right eye is tied up working the sights, your left eye is good for situational awareness.

If you put the camera to the left, you just cluttered up your left eye. Since Mark put it to the right, it doesn't interfere with much since the right eye is busy working the iron sights.

Awesome setup by the way, Mark. I might have to try and rig something similiar before any future classes. The video you posted was much nicer than I had imagined just looking at the pictures. Very impressive.

I apologize if you answered this already, but what kind of camera is that? Is the mount a certain style made for the camera? Were the velcro straps enough to keep it retained to the RE or did you insert anything between the straps and the RE?

I don't know a whole lot or have much experience with video cameras... save a few interesting "dinner and a movie" nights with the wife...... By "dinner" I mean sex and by "movie" I mean I filmed it

I don't want to get off track here, but instead of the big bulky camera, has anyone thought about this setup? Just my 2 cents. What do you think??

You take one of these: as recommended by Byron in post #3.



Add one of these Key FOB Cameras:


Take the key and ring off of the FOB. Put velcro on the mount surface and the FOB base. Attach to your rail system, and now you have a low profile video camera that will take up to 90 minutes of video. It plays back through your computer via USB cable.

There are other versions of the Key FOB Camera that have an Mini SD Card in them.... Pull out the card, insert in computer, and view..

Neat, small, compact and will stay secure with the velcro.

As a matter of fact, there are numerous options for mounting cameras to picatinny rails that don't require duct tape and drilling holes into stocks! Strikemark manufactures a number of different options for different camera systems, such as the GoPro and Contour cameras. We also make a universal mount for any digital camera with the standard 1/4 x 20 thread.
