Scope camera fitting

[luckytrigger0]

Very helpful video. Thanks ;)

[TheBoofdog]

how close to the scope should the cam be

[carbonrocket]

@TheBoofdog The lenses on mine are about 1/2 inch away. You will zoom in to get the image as I show in other vids.

So I take it it won't work with this camera?

[rvngizswt]

Oops I forgot the to tell you the type! Aiptek 720p HD camera, the one that is blue with a lense that's angled up.

[tomothefisher]

My stock is too close to the scopes and wont allow me to screw the camera round, unlucky me :(

[carbonrocket]

@tomothefisher Thats a bugger. Have you seen the SD camera fitting vid? Its a small frount profile unit! I have put it as an attachment to this vid.

[thezerocool22]

big thanks for the advice! :)

Best get fleabaying for something.

Do you find that generally the size of the thread is a few MM larger than the aperture of the tube?

[carbonrocket]

@thezerocool22 On the extention tube I have (for olympus SP550 UZ 52mm) the thread is a slightly smaller diameter than the outer diameter of the tube. So this butts against the adaptor rings smoothly Is that what you are after?

[thezerocool22]

Very interesed in your posts on here carbonrocket.

Im struggling with finding a suitable "long olympus type tube" to fit a 42mm bell housing on the scope.

Any idea what I should be looking for?

Could you detail the model of your olympus tube so I can look for a similar version with a smaller apeture.

thanks

@thezerocool22 Hi,

53mm camera tube search in Ebay will find you something. You can get 47mm tubes but are more expensive.

I have sent yoiu a PM as crap tube wont allow links in the comments.

Good luck

How do you mount the camera to your gun?

[JalmarEst]

less talking more fitting

[cookietheelitehunter]

how much will all the adaptors and things cost ??

[carbonrocket]

@cookietheelitehunter

look on E Bay about £4 for the adaptor rings and the extension tube was about £6 at the time.

[AndyOPBFB]

can you attach a digital camera?

[carbonrocket]

Yes, long as it has a threaded section on the frount of the camera, like on my video camera!

[AndyOPBFB]

aw crap. mine doesnt :/

[ohcaptainmycaptain4]

Hey, this is really cool what camera do you have? What is the best camera to use under $300

[carbonrocket]

Gosh there are many out there now but I would go for a Sony with night shot plus (Low Lox camera). Choose a light weight one using either a HDD or a memory card (they are lighter!). MAKE SURE IT HAS A THREADED SECTION AT THE LENSE FOR CAMERA RINGS!!!!!!!! You will have to go look for yourself I am afraid!

Clear and informative video - thanks for posting

[carbonrocket]

Thankyou I appreciate the coment

[NIGHTSKYE1]

its easier to just attach a small camcorder to the rifles under stock with zip ties.

[shooterdude12]

Very nice video.

[RecoDesign]

how do you aim with the camera sticking so far back?

[carbonrocket]

In readyness for fitting the camera I actually fitted the scope forward by 1.5 inches to how I would normally have it. So my head is back but only by 2 inches. I aim by viewing through the eye piece.

[cumanagoto]

Awesome! Thank you.

[carbonrocket]

Thanks, send me a link if you do the same I would like to see the results and any pointers I could use.

Hey

Your vid is the best on this topic. Ive got two questions . 1. how do you find out the diameter of you cam corder .

2. Ive been looking for a ir lamp like yours on ebay but couldnt find one could you give me a link.

Really good instruction vid all the same .

Rabbit man my self.

Finding the diameter of the scope.

Easy way - two pieces of card one 'L' shaped, sandwich the scope where you need the diameter and hold the paper tight, measure between the edges of the card.

The vid camera diameter, It needs to have a threaded section at the front lense area. Just take it if unsure of the size to a camera shop.

IR emitter? Either a high power Yukon type or for decent images get yourself an IR laser emitter (adjustable beam type) all available from Ebay or other places.
