    Nice, i have my go pro mounted above my sight. I'm going to make something i can clip to my stand on an arm to move and point the camera though. Other wise i'm just to shaky.

    Very nice. I need to come up with something for mine.

    I wonder how your neighbors feel about you shooting towards their house....j/k, doesn't look like you would miss.

    Nice shots.

    This is cool. Can you post pics of it on your bow and explain how you engineered it? Thanks.

    Hey guys, just used some stuff laying around in the garage.. took about 15 minutes, works fine for me and saved $50 or so! i like it because it sits so close to the hand and buttons can be pushed with my grip hand 048.jpg 047.jpg 049.jpg 050.jpg

    Creative. You may have just inspired me to give it a try instead of buying one for my iPhone.

    So how much did the camera cost and how long will it take a video for?? Mount looks pretty straight forward...

    it looks great not to much vibration either, which is pretty rare, what if, just a hypothetical, what if there were a peice of bicycle tubing between the washers that touch the acutal camera mount would that make the vibration even less? i was thinking because 90% of camera mounts dont really offer a zero vibration but couldnt we improve it to say 90-95% less vibration?
    experiments? :)

    How do you like the Kodak playsport? is it the zx3 or x5? im looking at getting one and i saw you could buy a attachment lens to help with the zoom i was also looking at.

    sorry guys, haven't gotten around to making the rubber dampeners for it. Yeah it's a Kodak Playsport zx5, great camera. I do believe you can buy an attachment lens. May look into that.

    Sweet i will be getting on once i get the money. and the lens looks nice and it would help for those shots a little further out so it wont be blurry.
