It was intended for police so that shootings could be analyzed after the fact in court. picture quality was surprisingly good; but I'm sure it would have been horribly fragile in practice.

I seem to be unable to find the product right now - makes a camera adaptor for said stock. And a college of mine made a shoulder stock out of a surveillance camera wall mount. :) When I manage to scrape up the funds to get a proper camera, that folding stock is definitely on the shopping list... :) Tripods can be so ackward in more mobile use.

The victim was on the hunt and had "shot" his killer in the moment of his death - really old stuff. I remember a gun camera in a 60′s (or 70′s) criminal series.

Commercial versions have been available for decades before. I had a Canon A1 mounted on a surplus 98 stock in the early eighties. Cheekweld was a little tough, but a rasp and some sandpaper finally cured that. Now they are skeletonized and totally portable. http://www.bushhawk.com/about_us.html (I would make a link, but I don't know how to in this format. Having said that, I sure hell wouldn't even try to use an old school version anywhere anymore. Besides being rousted by cops, lord knows what else might happen to you!

Not a bad idea for camera stabilization in an environment where you are are not pointing it at other people who may or may not be armed and have an itchy trigger finger.

I've seen a hunting rifle that was indeed a camera only. It was made for hunting without unnecessary bloodshed - photos as trophy and true hunting feeling. This is another example: http://www.boingboing.net/2006/12/07/leica-rifle-camera.html That’s nothing.
