Side Shot / GoPro Setup

I use the side shot - mainly with my S9+ - once you get setup its easy to use - and a lot of my footage is caught that way.
Firefly 8SE is a popular camera to use, you can order one with a 90 degree lease already built in - I know the Air Hunters use one.
Even though I make YT video's I cannot bring myself to spend all the money on a Go Pro just for the side shot - I know its quicker and easier than a phone.....

The side shot itself does work well - sometime a spacer is a good thing, I have some experimental ones here and we may print them and sell them - once lockdown has finished.

Thanks for that however .... How is the Firefly camera attached and what else would i need to have a finished item ?

I ended up going down the route of the Backbone hero 7 by Side Shot which arrived yesterday so I will let you know how I get on . I have a NXS 5.5-22x50mm sitting on the Impact so I'm hoping the combination will work well .

So Giles, How about a little more info on the spacer that is needed for the Firefly 8SE 90 degree?

And once again when asking about this adapter the net goes silent. This isn't rocket science. I guess I will have to make my own. The guys at Side-Shot have gone silent for over a year. Nothing on their web site, Facebook or Youtube sites. Others have also been asked but they won't tell anyone. At most this is a 2-5mm spacer and can be done on a good 3D printer or cut on a CNC machine. I guess it is time for me to get out my CAD/CAM program and work up a design and test. Really disappointed in Side-Shot.

The adapter goes silent due to certain people not wanting you or I to know how it is done cheaply enough for us to afford it. Instead they want you to pay hundreds more to SideShot and GoPro so they can make more money. I have a side shot phone mount and all you have to do is take the 3 screws off and remove the phone mounting part and replace it with an adapter plate that would cost less than $20,

Here is his video he made on setup.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qx4t2xkGKs I have received and installed my FireFly 8se and Orion Mount plate, I will have to wait until this weekend to test the cam footage on the scope due to its dark now when I get home from work.

The FireFly 8SE comes with an enclosure that is attached to an adapter that is printed out at a certain thickness with mounting holes in in it. All you have to do is buy the $100 FirFly 8se Cam with the 90 degree lens which comes with the case, then purchase a $20 adapter or make one yourself. You could probably make a adapter plate out of any piece of nylon or plastic or wood for that matter and drill the mounting holes and that's all there is to it.
I have ordered the mounting plate and camera which should be here shortly, I have the plate bracket just need the cam to get here. The mounting bracket is 10mm thick. I will let you know how it turns out.

I have received and installed my FireFly 8se adapter onto my Side-Shot cam mount. Very easy install and works great. Just follow Orion The Iguana Hunter's install and settings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qx4t2xkGKs&t=2s and a little fine adjustment and you should be good to go at a reasonable cost.
