Title: Testing out the scopecam on my Disco
Post by: crowley on January 29, 2012, 11:25:30 PM
I have been looking for vermin, varmints, or small game, but have been out of luck lately.  I need a decent target to try my scopecam out with.  Since I could not find a target today, I shot some pics through the scope pictures of Yellow-Rumped Warblers that were feeding at my feeder.  The gun was NOT loaded. 

This, by far, is one of the sharpest images.  Taken at 20 yards at 12x, best I can recall.

I am using an Orion SteadyPix Delux with a Panasonic DMC-LZ8 camera.  It is mounted on a Leapers 4-16x40 AO sitting on a Weaver/Picatinny rail with low profile UTG rings and a 11mm dovetail to Weaver/Picatinny adapter.

I can't wait to get some shots on video!

Looks like you have it dialed in. Now, if the critters would only cooperate. You going to make them movie stars. LOL

Unfortunately, it will be a snuff film!

I cannot wait to see your videos!  Hmmm, what do you want to film most?  A crow, squirrel or rabbit?  :)

I plan on hunting tree rats Saturday, weather permitting. Rabbits will be my second quarry. I will refrain from shoot crows, unless the squirrels and rabbits won't cooperate.

I wish I could do high-speed video. That may have to be my next purchase!
