I got a Hero2 for Christmas and been shopping around for a gun mount but all the ones I found disable the sling mount. I'm leaving tomorrow on a hunt and really wanted to use the camera so this is what I came up with.

Go to academy and get this universal flashlight mount. 14$

Get a 1 1/8" oak dowel from lowes 7$

Cut dowel down middle 2", then cut the dowel off 1" past the cut. Clamp both onto barrel. The clamp comes with two plastic shims. This will be needed on the barrel, but they slip on the clamp so super glue the spacers to the clamp. Use one of the sticky flat mounts to stick on the flat surface of the dowel and countersink two small screws into the wood to secure it. I used a sharpie to make it black because I won't have time for the paint to dry.

That's going to effect the balance of the gun. I hope doesn't effect how u shoulder the gun and throw you off. Good idea though.

it dosent, mine is set off to the right side of gun and dosent cause any problems.....filming upside down on yours so you will have to flip the video.......

Neat idea right there. Does it record normal or upside down? I've never tried it so I don't know..

I think ill be fine, people do it all the time

You can record upside down

Just worry about killn birds who cares if it's on film everyone wants to be a movie star now days

Just remember to turn the camera into the right mode so it knows it's upside down. Looks good.

I disagree regarding balance. The camera doesn't weigh "that much" as long as you are on target it's going to take down birds and have video proof to boot!

I bought the jackknife gun mount for my iPhone and its no gopro but for $40 it gets the job done lol

You get an A+ for ingenuity! Maybe put a flotation pad on camera or safety lanyard in case the recoil jolts the clamp lose.

The case is waterproof, not sure if it floats though.

Cool. Good to know

Just don't miss. No amount of editing can fix that!

Lol ill just cut that out!

I bought a mount from captureyourhunt.com (used to be gogunmount.com). It fits on the sling stud on the magazine cap. I don't like it, I'd rather use the head strap mount. When you shoot, the recoil fuzzes up the image, and the "pinging" of the beretta piston is super loud on the audio. If you don't have a recoil keeper, your camera is going to pivot downwards, no matter how tight you screw it down. The recoil plate thingamajigger fits between the knob and the mount and keeps it from rotating.

One word of advice, make sure you use the white rubber retainer in the mount, and I'd also make sure to tether your camera to your gun.

Autogateman -

Awesome idea.

Thanks for sharing.

if you want to see mine to make a pattern, let me know. I can text you a picture of it on a ruler or grid paper so you can see the size/shape too.

Last name Rosendale? If so I got your number ill text you

Thats me.

I have a friend who uses the Mako Spearguns mount of his shotgun. You can get them with a recoil thing to keep your camera in place. I'm about to order one myself

My go pro mount on the 10 gauge. Don't think I have to worry about weight or balance. It's all heavy! Going to be trying it out this weekend for first time on hunt. Experimented with it on the boat. Came out pretty cool.

No. It is the mount with the short cinch strap on each side. I ran it between vent rib and barrel. Hunting a flooded soybean field tomorrow a.m. down in the delta. My buddy said they been doing pretty good down there so far.
