Hi lads, can anyone reccomend a camera/camcorder for mounting onto a shoutgun, just to record a bit of clay pigeon shooting, i'm not looking for anything too serious or expensive it's just for a bit of interest. cheers.

not sure how you'd mount it without blocking your site down the rib if your using a double barrel.if i get it it'll be mounted on the magazine tube of a pump action

yeah that looks decent, i seen one on ebay, i'll put the link up later, and it looks pretty small, about the size of a 2 battery maglite, that could work either, was thinking of taping the camera to the side of my under and over near the top of the barrles, would take a bit of getting used to the balance though and the further up the barrels the more the recoil would move the camera so not sure how it would work, but seen it done on youtube for pigeon shooting

I've seen gun cams & they're cr*p. It'll spend most of the time over your arm pointed at the ground or air.
For clays it might not be bad for shot after shot though...
For rough shooting I wouldnt waste my muula tbh...

this is what i was thinking of, nice and light too, not sure what the quality of the video would be like though, but for 30 euro might be worth taking a ount?

ah well if worse comes to worse you can sell it on again for the payed price if its only used once and it doesnt suit your needs...if you do get it and give it a go let me know how you get on.
i have an ipod here with a savage camera, just need to make some form of mount for it that wont obstruct the rib and eye.any ideas

meya

I suggest you buy a better one

They're great for sports, not so sure they would work well on a shotgun.

Have you seen this video of a GoPro stolen by a Yellow Legged Gull in France?

The above are all good suggestions.

get a GoPro HD with suction mount.
i have one and mount it to my shotgun all the time & to a baseball cap and have some great footage, it will upload something for you to see.
