Camera Mount Apparatus and System for a Scope
First Claim
1. An apparatus for mounting a camera onto a scope, the apparatus comprising:
- an elongated, hollow sleeve for connecting to a scope, the sleeve having a hollow longitudinal axis forming an unobstructed axial bore;
a cylindrical aperture at one end of the sleeve, the cylindrical aperture having a longitudinal axis generally coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the sleeve;
a second aperture at the opposite end of the sleeve, the second aperture having a longitudinal axis generally coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the cylindrical aperture;
a connector for rigidly connecting the sleeve to the scope; and
a base member connected to the sleeve, the base member comprising a hole positioned adjacent to the second aperture, the base member being adapted to receive a camera having a lens having a longitudinal axis;
wherein when the sleeve is connected to the scope, the cylindrical aperture is aligned with the scope and the longitudinal axis of the scope is generally coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the sleeve;
wherein when the camera is attached to the base member, the hole of the base member is positioned adjacent to the lens of the camera and the longitudinal axis of the lens is generally coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the scope.

Abstract
This disclosure relates to an apparatus for mounting a camera onto a firearm and an associated device for capturing images and recordings of a firearm target. The apparatus allows for easy attachment of cameras of varying sizes onto the scope of a firearm and along the same longitudinal axis of the scope. The apparatus comprises a sleeve connected to a scope of a firearm, the sleeve being hallow and having a longitudinal axis longitudinal axis forming an unobstructed axial bore and generally coaxial with a longitudinal axis of the scope; a base member with a hole and adapted to receive a camera with the hole of the base member positioned adjacent to the lens of the camera and the longitudinal axis of the camera lens is generally coaxial with the longitudinal axis of the scope.
