    Bow and Gun Camera Mount & Illumitacks

    Posted by MikeAdams on March 14, 2008

         I have the pleasure of field testing a product sold by Elusive Wildlife Technologies, I have one of their bow/gun camera mounts, that I will be taking into the field with me this year during turkey season.  It came last week and I was quite surprised by the way it was made.  On first glimpse I noticed that there is a flex spring on the camera plate that allows the camera to move during recoil.  This was one of my concerns before acquiring it, I was afraid that the camera may suffer recoil shock on a shotgun or rifle.  This spring allows the camera to absorb the recoil somewhat.  It kind of acts like a shock absorber.  This should protect the small parts inside the camera from slamming inside the camera body during a shot.  In my next post I will talk about how it fits onto my gun and how it fits other guns I have.  It looks like a great concept for mounting a small mini dv camera to a gun or bow.  Check out their web site with the link highlighted above.  Along with the camera mount I also received a device called an illumitack.  I will also be testing this in the field in the next couple of weeks.  These are basically a blinking beacon for night tracking of game animals.  I have thought of a couple of other uses I will mention when I test these also.

      You should set one up on a bow as well and let us all know how it works. I found a camera bow mount made by predator products, who are from Michigan, but I haven’t had a chance to pick one up and try it yet.

      Looking forward to the update.
