Here is the DIY for this camera mount.
It's sort of a mix between Hajimoto's and Eagle Vision, and side shot.
I saw issue with all of those other designs and I wanted to make one that wouldn't cost a fortune! So hopefully I got a good viable solution at an affordable price for everyone!
So here it is!
I cut the inner tube because I needed a sleeve for the end of the prism, while maintaining the use of the phone mount.
Used a prism. This was probably the hardest part because I had to hand sand bushing to fit the prism snugly into the cut piece of tube.(If you have access to a lathe it would be way easier!)
As you can see the phone mount is still usable.
Glued the PVC using Gorilla glue to the front of the camera.
Glued the coupling to the delrin spacer. Rather than gluing the camera direct and making it permanent,
Using a coupling allow adjustment of the parallax and also the use of the camera as a regular camera.
Remember to focus the ocular to the camera, so that both the parallax and the ocular focus is the same for best video quality.
Camera is able to zoom in and out. And you can take the camera off and still use it as a camera. This truck is about 60 yards away.
