"We speculated that using a gun stock for shooting a camera seemed like a good way for a photographer to get shot. And we wondered how common these stocks could be. Duran wrote back with a short, informed response, but I was able to twist his arm into telling us a bit more."

This is an interesting story on a soldier who has attached his camera to a rifle stock.  It gives him a steady and easy to use platform to shoot from.  Check out his story and some of his pictures.

That's a Bushhawk in the picture. It's a commercial product that's been out for sometime. The concept is not really new; see the Zenit photosniper series, which are over 20 years old.

I was thinking of getting a Bushhawk if I ever got a camera that did video. The SLR handling paradigm doesn't lend itself too well to steady handheld videos, if you ask me.
