.22 calibre scope cam

[zini 1,939]

Hi all,

 

This is my scope camera and home made eye relief adaptor.

 

I have designed and made the eye relief adaptor to enable me to still shoot at x10 magnification on the scope and x3 on the camera which just brings the cross hairs nicely into focus .

 

The adaptor has been made out of a 42mm plummers basin pipe to fit over my 40mm Tasco eye piece and a metal and rubber jublee clip to hold the adaptor firmly to the scope eye piece.

 

The mil dot system that i know and use still seems to work well at 20 metres.

 

I haven’t shot at anything further away yet as my camera adaptor that screws the camera to my eyes relief adaptor hasn’t arrived yet from Hong Kong so i have to shoot the R10 with one hand while i hold the camera to the eyes relief adaptor with the other. "Not easy and I wobble quite a lot as you can imagine"

 

Here are some photos of my camera and some video footage

looking good si have you tried it on a night with the lamp yet , have you been bashing any vermin sice you got back

No Kev,

 

I only got back from Germany at 0020hrs this morning pal so i have been walking the dog and getting ready for work again.

 

I also put the adaptor together.

 

Just need the camera adaptor to arrive so i can shoot using 2 hands instead of using one and resting on a pillow

 

When it comes im going to fit it and trial it in the in door range at 5 metres intervals out to 55 metres to ensure that the mil dots all corrospond to what POI i know with the FX pellets.

 

Ill then get some footage posted of it in action shooting vermin.

will be some great footage mate and really informative for ppl to understand the hold over and under etc espacially watching it take a bunny out etc

[zini 1,939]

Dont worry about that pal it defo will be used when out bunny bashing

 

I intend to take it to the permission and drive around until i have vermin from 10 metres out to 55 metres and then talk through the shots in regards to hold over and under so that people can see where i place the points of the scope for each shot at each range.

 

Its quite easy really once you memorise the dots to the ranges and if you stay within your shooting caperbility

Glad to see you back Si.

 

Interesting that you find it best at 10x mag and the camera turned down as everyone else I've seen has the scope at 3x or 4x and the scope turned up. Whatever works for you though

 

Really looking forward to you and Davy getting some hunting footage up.

 

Cheers

nice to see your nearlly up and running with the scope cam fella lets hope this bloody snow melts soon and i get a decent scope(just put in an offer on a nikko laser king at a very good price so lets wait and see)

[zini 1,939]

Ill keep my fingers crossed for you Joey pal .

 

Hi Sib,

 

I like to be different pal

 

I just like to be able to use my mil dots calibtated to how they always look through the scope with my eye on x 10 mag pal.

 

All the 3 or 4 mag on the cam does is brings the eye relief and cross hairs in focus
