The StockCam is a camera rig modeled after a rifle stock, so the action of shooting photos is not unlike shooting a rifle. Does that mean if you’re a good shot with a rifle, you’ll also make a good photographer? I doubt it, but at least you’ll be aiming in the right direction.
The StockCam features a gun trigger (operated via remote cable plugin) to activate a camera’s shutter, as well as a “safety” to prevent shooting when you don’t mean to, which can be switched between locked, focus (photo shooting), and fast (video shooting). That’s a nice touch. I mean, if you’re going to make a rifle stock camera rig, you might as well go all the way.
The stock has two rails for attaching the camera and any accessories you may want to use, while its shoulder butt helps prevent fatigue while shooting. Although I can’t recommend using this anywhere but in the great outdoors and away from the public because I will yell, “He has a missile launcher!” if I ever see anybody with one.
If you’re dying to get your hands on a StockCam for yourself, you can register your interest to be informed when the Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign goes live.
