Camera mount under SxS

Hi,

I use 3 Different types of sports cameras while out shooting . I have been recording my shooting for the past 8 seasons , while I do not use an SxS - O/U and Semi - it should be simple enough to mount a camera , though it depends on the type of camera you use .

 

let me share my views. A camera mounted to the barrels will be limited to the safe use of the Gun , camera - barrels pointing at Dog Mid retrieve etc. This is what I do , I have a 4ft post with a Go Pro mount screwed onto it , I point this outward or inward to the hide at various times . A stationary camera gives great results . I then also have a Sony action Camera , which I wear on the right side of my head . I am used to it and I miss it if its not there . While it has I.S. image stabilisation , my body also dampens out a lot of the shake from movement . This camera has a Flat side and is perfect for head use , you get a great down the barrel and wider angle view and can look , point at your friends , dogs etc shoot and move in complete safety . I can also post mount this if I wish . A go pro , Head mounted would be in the centre of your forehead and I do not like that .

 

My recent purchase that has fantastic recording ability is a RUNCAM HD 2 , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3Jda-7gtQ4.

 

It will fit a SxS perfectly due to its flat side . it is small and very light . It comes with straps to mount and could be looped through a vented rib . The camera can be set up to flip the image , so you mount the camera upside down on the underside of your barrels and have the on - off switch to hand . Use a 3 inch x 2 inch x 1/4 - 1/2 inch of grey or black packaging sponge under the barrels place the camera against that and I would use a wrap on black electrical tape , it wont obstruct your bead , then the straps . If you have a camera working loose , use tie wraps , small ones and have some sponge or tape between them and the barrels .

Set up properly it will move and give good footage , in fact a SxS is more stable than a semi for this .

 

Just yesterday , my mother nearly 80 had a great time watching her dog working on video with me on my I pad and wants to see the rest of the videos I have soon .

 

Cheers,
