Mounting Instructions

1. Make sure that the weapon you are mounting this product to is unloaded.


2. Do not point this product at people, manmade objects, or locations where people may be.


3. Mount the scope bracket seen below to your scope with the flange part facing to the left side of your weapon. At this point tighten the 4 screws only slightly.
   


4. Attach your video camera to the L shaped recoil bracket. there are several screw holes on the bottom of this bracket choose the one that best fits your camera.


5. Tighten the hand strap of your video camera around the L recoil bracket of The Rifle Cam as seen in the pictures below.


6. Use the small bungee cord that is supplied to secure the camera to the camera plate by wrapping the cord over the top of your video camera and connecting it under the camera plate. This is used to stop the whipping motion when your weapon is fired during the recoil process.


7. With your camera secure to the L bracket, slide the T portion into the scope bracket and tighten these 2 brackets together using the 3 prong screw.


8. Turn your camera on and open the view finder on the side of your camera. Make sure that the camera is in the level position as it is mounted to your rifle. After this is achieved tighten the 4 screws that attach the scope bracket to your scope.


9. Be aware that there is a threaded screw hole in the corner of the camera plate. This is there so you can store your 3 prong camera screw while not using your camera and not losing the screw when not in use.


10. Once you are in the field hunting you should ZERO your camera to your scope. This simply means that you should pick out an object in the distance, the approximate distance that you will be shooting and place the cross hairs of your scope on it then turn your camera on and zoom in on the same object that your scope is pointed at. You may have to turn your camera left, or right to center this object into the center of your view finder. This is to make certain that when you are hunting that you do not ZOOM past your animal when you take your shot.

Filming Tips

1. Do not over zoom on your target it may jump out of your screen when it is hit.


2. Do not film the sky, it’s not good for the camera FOR LONG PERIODS.


3. Remember to ZERO your camera when you reach your hunting area.


4. The less vibration and movement that you have when filming is better.


5. After you take your shot remember to follow through on your target keep your rifle pointed at your target while filming until your target drops. If you work the bolt on your rifle after you take your shot you may end up filming tree tops and clouds.


6. I carry a small green towel with me to place under the forearm of my rifle when I am in my hunting stand. This is to place something soft between the rifle and the deer stand, it helps a lot.


7. When hunting in the rain I simply put a plastic sandwich bag “a baggy” over my camera so the water runs off this works really well and then I pull it off when I need to film.


8. Carry an extra camera battery with you.


9. After I take my animal I always turn the camera on and ZOOM it all of the way back to wide angle and then walk towards the animal with the rifle pointed at it as I make my approach, this makes for dramatic footage when watching it on the TV with family and friends.


10. The 10th rule is the 1st rule do not over ZOOM on your target.


11. Do not film at people, or man made objects with this product attached to a weapon.
