摘要： A camera mounting assembly for a weapon is provided. The mounting assembly includes a mount for direct attachment to the weapon. A parallelogram linkage includes a pair of depending swing arms, each of which is pivotally secured at one end in the mount and at the opposite end in a camera support. The support also includes a transverse slot for receiving a stud or other mount carried by a camera. When the weapon is discharged, the swing arms allow the camera and support to together swing to and fro in response to the forces generated. During this swinging motion, the support and hence the camera are both maintained substantially aligned with the line-of-sight of the weapon at all times, thereby ensuring that the shoot is reliably captured. Dampers may also be provided to dampen the swinging motion of the camera created upon discharge. The combination of the swinging and damping improves the capture of the shoot by reducing the effects of the recoil or discharge forces. Also, since the camera is not in direct contact with the weapon, the potential for shock damage is significantly reduced.
