My understanding is if you really want to see the pellet in flight, slo mo to boot, you need closer to 1000 frames per second.-Y

You should be the one leading the charge on this project. Your avatar says you are a machinist and 3d printer. I've got a 3d printer but print things off of thingiverse, etc. I have no skills at 3D CAD or CNC. I guess I'll be learning before much happens.
I don't know if this would work for you but I have one on a spotting scope and is does a great job. It's a Celestron NexYZ cell phone mount. It will fit 1 inch or 30.mm scopes with no problem.

That is exactly why I am following this thread!I can make/print anything but I don't know much about how these contraptions work or how to line the mirrors up properly.
I'd like to do a side mount, but I know they either use a "prism" or "mirror", and with the prism it's a 75/25 split. So for decent camera footage you send 75% of the available light to the camera and 25% to the eyepiece on the scope. I'm not sure what the split is on the angled "mirror" is? Maybe 50/50? Has anyone tried it and if so what are your thoughts on either set-up?There's also the option of adding the camera on the back of the scope. But then I'm looking at a 2" screen, and light shine on my face in the dark. (planning on do an IR camera also soon.)
It helps with the sun behind you, too.
