Making a dream a reality

Hi guys, this is a project that I have been thinking about and trying to work towards for the better part of two years. It started out as a cool idea and the more and more I got immersed into it, the more I felt that this idea could really turn in to an amazing product. The idea is called FPS Cam. It's a camera mount for firearms that will attach to side rails and accommodate almost any type of camera you may have. From a tiny point and click camera to a 6-7lb pro-sumer camcorder, this mount can hold just about all of them and is solid as a rock. The way I designed it, you're more likely to break your camera or your gun than you are to break this mount. It can be used to face down the barrel or towards the shooter. It can be used in conjunction with a camera capable of night vision, an infra red flashlight and a laser to pick out targets in low or no light. It can be used with a laser to point around corners and shoot from cover/concealment. I think this product will have many uses for not just the average joe who likes to shoot, but paintballers, airsofters, hunters, police and military. Check out the promo video my partner and I put together and please visit our Indiegogo page if you're interested in contributing to the project. Thanks for your time and I hope this can turn into something real. I'll try to man the thread as often as possible and answer any questions you may have.

Watching barrel mounted cam footage makes me get motion sickness.

Bout like watching amateur youtube videos with the camera swinging wildly in all directions.

Nice project! Seems a bit awkward having a large video camera on the side of the gun though with the balancing. Maybe focus on a smaller one for smaller cameras?
 
Well, looks like a good mount for small cameras, but it also looks like it's made out of plastic and is made specifically for top or bottom oriented rails. We have a prototype plate that can replace the L plate for that arrangement (top and bottom instead of side), but mine is definitely set up for a wide range of cameras and, because it's all aluminum, will be extremely difficult to brake.
