It's a variation of the current SNAP handle.
I used
-A section of 1+1/2" PVC
-Some piece of wood
-What I believe is a 1/4-20 1+1/2" machine screw (fits in the bottom of the camera)
-2 nails (you should use screws)
Make these:
Drill holes, screw the two together, drill a bigger hole for the bigger machine screw, insert it:
Snap to your SNAP/Rainbow/Bow:
Attach camera:
And take pictures
To Do/I'd like suggestions
-Protecting the back and the front of the camera while being able to access the buttons
-Vertical mount (view down the barrel)

I'm glad there is energy being put in to war photography, I love seeing war pics (even if I'm not in then: ima trollin your threadz) and anything that keeps more people in the game is great. Nice work, if you put it on your LS and set it for a one second delay you would get TONS of hit-pics
-Guns shoot bullets that kill people
-Blasters shoot darts that tag people
I do not play with guns.

Mounting the block of wood horizontally instead of vertically would be the easiest way to get a view down the barrel, if it all fits together that way. I don't have any good ideas for protection though. You could mount plexiglass to the side of the wood so it covered the camera. If it's thin and clear enough you could probably take pictures through it.
Looks pretty good already though.

Work exactly like FA's, but around 1/3 of the price. Just add a micro SD card and run around like a loon.

I've decided to ditch the down barrel view, I won't be able to aim with the camera there...
Yeah, a couple pieces of polycarb will do nicely to protect the lens/screen.
Brit, those are really cool. I might get a pair if I can find a job.

Next time you guys war, try filming using both methods.

But we should probably worry more about simply getting people to show up at our wars first rather than documenting them......haha.
Maybe if you show how much fun you are having, it will intice those people that 'might/might not' into 'be there early'

If you want this to be enjoyable to watch, I'd recommend pointing at things you actually want your viewers to see (ie. not long durations of the grass flying by underneath when you're running or of the trees wobbling overhead when you're having some inane discussion about rules or hits). Your teammates might have some problem with you sticking your barrel in their face everytime they say something though.
I think with some proper editing, a combination of camera types (head-mounted, "turning", gun-mounted) and some actual application of skill in photo shooting we could have some war footage that isn't just painless to watch, but downright amazing - and therefore very useful in recruiting new nerfers.
Awesome attachment, atomatron, but I truly don't think it's enough to stick a camera on your gun if you want good war footage.

Sg Nerf has made something like this to:

And I totally agree with Fome, Good footage of nerf wars is certainly a way to recruit new nerfers or raise interest in nerf.

You could use this with the Gyrostabilization Module to get smoother footage.

I really wanna try this, but were do you get the screws that fit your camera, like a hardware store? Camera store?
Too small? Mine are always too big, only one is the perfect size. Sorry, no pics, I'm in bed with my iPod.
I'd like to bid $15 for your dick.

A shoulder camera would work pretty well, no need to pay attention to where you are pointing your gun/head, it would always point forwards. Just don't shrug.
