The Side-Cam Scope Camera Mount Kit is designed for shooters who want to capture high-quality footage directly through their rifle scope. This system uses a 75% reflection and 25% transmission optical design, allowing most of the image to be directed to the camera while still enabling the shooter to maintain a clear sight picture through the scope.
Ideal for recording hunting or target shooting sessions, the Side-Cam system is easy to install and compatible with most popular rifle scopes. The included mounting system attaches securely to the scope tube and allows quick installation or removal when needed.
What’s Included
-
1 × Side-Cam System – 75% reflection to the camera and 25% transmission to the shooter’s eye
-
Rubber Ring and 0 Coil Eye Rubber Cap – Provides secure and comfortable eye positioning
-
1 × Two-Bar Scope Holder – Designed to clamp onto the scope body tube
- 3 × DIY ACR-3 Adapters
-
3 × MUN-1 Mounting Rings – Allows attachment of action cameras to the Side-Cam system
Compatibility and Easy Installation
The two-bar scope holder secures the system to the scope’s body tube and is compatible with most common scope diameters, including:
- 25 mm scope tubes
- 30 mm scope tubes
- 34 mm scope tubes
The mount can be adjusted and assembled within minutes. Once set up, it takes only seconds to attach or remove the system from your rifle scope, making it convenient for shooters who frequently switch between recording and normal shooting.
The included DIY ACR-3 and MUN-1 adapters allow you to connect most action cameras. These adapters attach to your camera housing using screws or adhesive. Please note that most action cameras require a 12 mm or 16 mm focal length lens to work properly with this system.
Tips for Recording High-Quality Scope Footage
- Use a high-quality scope with a good lens and larger objective for better image clarity.
- Select a capable recording device. Action cameras with at least HD recording at 240 FPS are recommended.
- Use a quality fixed camera lens for optimal video performance.
- Ensure both the scope and camera are correctly aligned and adjusted.
- Use lower magnification settings for clearer recordings. Fixed magnification such as 10×44 often produces better results.
- Avoid using magnification above 10× with most common scopes.
- Prefer optical zoom rather than digital zoom to maintain image quality.
This scope camera adapter kit is an excellent solution for shooters who want to record their shots, capture hunting footage, or create high-quality shooting videos directly through their optic.
