Here's a sample of the Action Cam I bought it is mounted on an X7

Action Cam Test

not too bad what kinda camera, its sure shakes alot when you shoot!

I'm assuming it is the camera (ATC2K) that started the thread. The picture is pretty good - I'm with patriot though - the with the camera mounted so close to the end of your marker - it "jumps" with ever shot. If you mount it a little further back you may get a little more stability. Dunno - just a thought.

Good job - how did you finally end up mounting it?

i know, but if I mount back further, the barrel will block a good chunk of the screen... and then I tried the helmet mounting, wobbled too much and it was kinda heavy.

I used the velcro strap it came with, just wrapped it tight!

Hmmm... difficult to find a good spot

hmmm, yeah, that's a tough one. On second thought - if you're velcro-ed on - it might just be the "play" in the velcro. If you notice in the video, once your picture "stabilizes" from the shot - it appears you actually have very little recoil in your marker. I think my first guess is wrong... I think it is less about WHERE it is mounted but more HOW it is mounted... I think the velcro still allows enough play to shake on each "shock" from the shot, especially when you think that the weight of the camera causes the velcro to twist - rather than pulling against the hook-and-loop fasteners laterally where it would be the strongest and most stable.

My $.02 anyway. Hope that helps.

How should I mount it then...

i was thinking if some how you mounted it on the opposite shoulder than you shoot would make for some awesome video!

Have you tried an offset rail with a scope mount?

Probably the best thing you could do to minimise both the camera shake and the loudness of the shots firing, would be to buy a small amount of thin (say 5 to 10mm) foam rubber material and wrap a layer or two of that around the camera before securing it with velcro.

The extra padding will act like a shock absorber so the recoil of the gun won't be so noticeable, and will also absorb some of the PING when a shot is fired.
