Zeroing - A bit of video I shot with my phone camera

[1066]

I've been experimenting with shooting videos through the scope with my phone cam. Here's a bit I shot today.

 

Samsung Galaxy 2 phone, .22rf at 25 yds.

how do you fix the camera to the scope ?

 

This is the first mount I tried - Blue Peter fashion, bits of plastic and a toilet roll tube.

With this set-up I shot this:

 

Then I decided to make a better bracket that will fit on almost any rifle:

Nice bit of camera work.

 

Any chance of the finer details on how you made the bracket?

To make the bracket you will need some basic machining skills. I made mine with bits I had laying around. The blocks that clamp on the scope mounts are made from 1/2 square aluminum. I drilled and tapped to take 6mm Allen bolts. The outer tube is made from 5/8 aluminum bar, drilled and tapped 6mm on one end and deep drilled 8mm from the other to take the internal rod.

 

The plate to take the phone is 1/8 aluminum plate. The phone hard case was about £1.50 from Ebay. The phone just clips in or out as required.

 

The phone mounting need to adjust in every way to fit different scopes.

 

Here's a couple of pics that might help.
