Improvised Camera protection

any suggestions? I was thinking about strapping my camera to my gun or body next time but i don't want it broken.

Plexiglas lense covers is what I use.

An under water camera (video I assume) might hold up well, but I wont garentee anything.

Well when I said Improvised protection I ment like stuff I don't have to buy.
Great ideas though If I had the money I would.
limited budget Airsofter in the house!

~Steel mesh to cover the lense
~Plexiglass lense covers (you can make em yourself)
~Transparent plastic/hardened glass

I have found that when you cut the ends of of a 2 liter pop bottle and unroll it, it will withstand shots very well. I shot at an unrolled one point blank to test it with a utg l96 multiple times and it never pierced the plastic.

thats a good idea too djstasevich

cool I have alot of spare safety glasses from my welding classes and such do you think binding the lenses together would work well enough??

Ya that would work fine

now should I put it on my gun or would that be dangerous you think?

I have always wanted to get a Pen Video camera and put it into a peq box. sorry off topic, but by doing that, it would mount onto your gun by the rail system.

This is why when I bought a camera I got a cheap one that works well. What I do is I don't strap it to my body I just film a match and try to stay out of the line of fire as best as posible although if you want to strap it to your body do the options listed above. I also bring my camera with me when I do play but I tell everbody im playing with "hey im going to film this match don't SHOOT ME" that works.

Well some camera guys don't play just film now wheres the fun with that . I personally would like a gun camera as well . But they are a little bit too much in cost .

put it inside some clean Tupperware!



anyone seen the new Contour HD cam?

its about the size of a lazer pointer and im sure it would fit in a laser point rail mount, but its $300 :\

Thats why when I play I bring my camera with me when I play a match. I do this so when I get out I don't have to go to the out area I can simply just start filming instead of just sitting in the out area. This way I get to play and film.

If a camera person doesn't play there basically give away positions.

Just keep your camera out of a really hot zone and you should be good!

Yeah but after you show your friends the awsome video you made they no longer seem to care. This also helps when theres really nobody left thats in and they can't find each other you just find your enemy and stick with them until your team mate can find him!

do you have any of your videos posted anywhere?

PS, It would be really cool if you subscribed.

ill subscribe

better keep pumpin out videos though!

I'll try my best but I can't make any promises! We'll probably be playing soon so that means new videos.

you need more people.

add a black foam like homemade cover for ove everything but the lense, then put plastic over lense

If you are going to bind some safety glasses together don''t melt them cause the plasic will become foggy and milk colored. im gonna try that bottle idea.?!
