Scope cam video

Postby LettuceHead » Wed Sep 05, 2012 10:48 pm

**Before we begin, please note there is video footage of paintball. If you try to turn this into an airsoft vs. paintball thread, you are retarded**

On a tech-heavy paintball forum I frequent there is a guy that mounted a camera to his scope to get crosshair footage using First Strike paintball rounds footage in action. I must say, the effect is pretty awesome! I'd love to see some of the bolt-turners on this forum do the same. Not only is it different than the usual gun camera footage but it highlights the mistakes people make on the field and let you know how you look to the other side!



How he did it:
"You'll need the following parts to build your home made scope cam.
1. Your old digital point and shoot camera.
2. Flex pipe
3. PVC pipe
4. Dremel Tool
Dremel the blue electrical box until it fits your camera. Cut a hole in the box for the lense. Glue pipe in front of the box and using the flex pipe attach to your scope just like in video"

What a neat idea! I'd love to see some bolt-carriers pick up the concept. That way, unedited at least, we'd have 100s of hours of sitting looking at the same PoV with little to no action! ;P

Not sure this'll take off for the same reason bolts don't necessarily take off. High maintenance, and all you'll see in the end is a lot of sitting 9 times out of 10. Still, some cool jazz there.

The best (IMHO) Airsoft scope videos are located at:
