Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hauksen" data-source="post: 3637891" data-attributes="member: 142861">Hi,I imagine mounting a rifle sight to a camera could be a bit difficult, but since I previously experimented with a NATO rail on a hotshoe, I thought maybe something like pictured in the attachment would work.Perspective drawing:[ATTACH]644864[/ATTACH]Isometric drawing:[ATTACH]644865[/ATTACH]It's designed for 3D printing and should be fairly cheap as it's just a single piece with no optics. The crosshairs are of 1 x 1 mm^2 thickness, the view opening is 32 mm x 18 mm. I've made the far "ring" 6 mm in diameter and the near ring 5 mm to help with alignment, but if you have experience with rifle sights ... maybe it would be better to do it the other way round?(I have just completed the drawing, so I haven't printed the part yet.)Regards,Henning</blockquote>
