The Ultimate Camera Mount?
If you have ever shot video of RC planes for an extended period of time you know what a literal pain in the neck it can be. Last year at XFC we were thinking there has got to be a better way. My old RC friend Bud Morrison sent me a couple of gun stocks to see if I could mount a camera on one of them. In preparation for the E-fest I got my camera all mounted up. It took some liberal Dremel tool grinding, some creative thinking and the dissassembly of a tripod but I finished her up and man is it cool looking! I have it setup so I can use the eyepiece or the LCD screen. The big question is will it make shooting video any easier? I guess we will find out soon. All that is left to do is apply some RCG graphics.
Here are some shots of the RCG Camstock... |

Very cool, Jim! Gives a whole new meaning to "SHOOTING" video, eh?
But you should have just mounted the camera on a real paintball gun. How cool would it be to see the rounds heading for the planes (thinking tracer fire here)??? I'm sure it has been done before. You'll have to let me try this out at SEFF this year! Andy |

haha, cool Jim, I'd be afraid if I saw you point that at my plane though.
