    Hi folks. Got myself a cheap pocket camcorder with the view to mounting it to my rifle scope to make a few videos as seen through the scope. Anyway it wont work as the auto contrast on the camcorder wont adjust properly.
    Anyone able to recommend a suitable camera?
    It worked brilliantly with my digital camera but was to awkward due to the lense coming in and out.
    Thanks lads.

    Its never going to be easy with a riflescope because of meovement, but any camera with an internal zoom mechanism works best, like the Nikon Coolpix 4500 or the old Sony camcorders (the ones that use tape) - and these can be bought very handy on eBay now because they're old technology (as long as you get a good one that was minded)
