Camera mount for my PSA2 "Sweet Pea"

[Flatshooter]

After missing an opportunity to film a recent bear hunt, I decided to make a camera mount for my Epic Stealth action camera and put it on my bow. Check it out.

That looks really nice and simple. Now we just need some video of how well it works.

weeeellll, just speaking from experience here, those on bow mounts dont work so well.  The shock is just to much.  I hope you have better luck tho . . .

Well, Just went out to do some test firing. Great pics before and after shot. During shot I got some noise and a little shaking but still a good view of target. I'm thinking this will still work pretty well since I didn't lose the  target picture. I mounted the camera on rubber washes and that seemed to help a bit.

The camera mounts actually work very well.  The problem is with the cameras themselves.  The small cameras that these mounts are designed for are not of very good quality.  The biggest problem is that you cannot adjust shutter speed. With a high shutter speed (I did some experimenting a while back and I seem to remember the minimum being around 8000 of a sec.) you don't have that blurry look when the arrow is released.  The camera that I mounted on my bow was fairly large so it is impractical for hunting purposes. I captured some great shots of arrows in flight just as they are coming of the bow and once I took it pheasant hunting and got some great footage that I would not have had I not had the camera mounted on the bow.  If they ever make a handheld HD camera with adjustable shutter speed for under 1500 I will be all over it.  Someday if I get the time maybe I'll post a video link to the footage.

I would like to do something like that to my bow utilizing the unutilized stabilizer/fishing reel insert on the front of the riser but here in WA you can't have anything electronic attached to the bow or arrow, no cameras, no lighted nocks, nothing.  I need to move to a state with less hippies making fishing and hunting regulations.
