GoPro Rifle Mounts?

[junglelarry]

Any of you guys have thoughts or suggestions on mounting a GoPro to a rifle for a hunting video? Some concerns of mine are:

- Where to mount? (scope, barrel, other)
- Recoil management
- Stability (how difficult is it to hold on target with one of these guys hanging off the rifle)

Thought it might be a cool way to document our hunts.

this is how I mounted it on my shotgun! Tap it works great!

here it is on my rifle. the 3M mount that comes with it stuck on my gas block. works great

Cool setup SoCal.

I tried to use mine to film out of a treestand at 20 yards and the gopro fisheye lens makes 20 yards look like it’s 60 yards. Could hardly see the buck. It would be a cool angle on your shotgun for ducks etc. Check out all the GoPro hunting videos on youtube for some samples.

Yeah I also have a 3M sticky mount on my bowfishing set up. Have not put one on my other bow yet but I will. Yeah it is hard to see more then 5-10 yards away.

Great, thanks for the input. I'll see if I can mount it up and test it in a more controlled environment to see what the limitations are before taking it out into the field. I've used a GoPro for snowboarding videos in the past, where it works quite well for seeing large expanses of area; not so good for telescopic views....

Thanks for moving this discussion to a more appropriate location, John.
