Tactical Camera

Posted by samzenpus on from the guns-make-everything-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes "What do you get when you mount a Nikon D200 with a standard rifle stock? Why a Tactical Camera of course! One that no reporter would be caught with in a war zone or covering any armed action anywhere. What started out as a tongue in cheek project for April Fools wound up being quite the successful demonstration of concept. It features a fully functional trigger; it has controls for operating the shutter and auto focus; and for the patient shots, it has a mounted bipod. Carry sling optional."

    Make up some press passes. hang them around your neck and stencil on a kaki color fishing vest "PHOTOGRAPHER"

    You can walk past a guard and take photos of things you should not and they wont even bug you.

    And yes it's LEGAL to make a press pass for "daves news blog" or whatever blog you have.

    Cops dont bug you if you look like press, hell I have gotten into concerts and back stage to take photos of the singer from 8 feet away with my press and event passes and vest.

    If you look like a press photographer, nobody bugs you. Be ready to talk the talk when spoken to.
