This is not a gun, but a camera holder

If you are a cameraman and you want to move ahead with technology, this camera holder designed to look like an assault rifle is what the latest technology has to offer you, but it does not come cheap anyway.

The Stockcam is an unusual camera holder for photography enthusiasts who need multiple mounting points in order to be able to capture great and wonderful scenes as well as to ensure stability and better camera handling.

Produced in Hexham, the United Kingdom, the Stockcam features a trigger to activate the shutter or lock the cage to ensure that the shutter doesn’t accidentally get pressed. The handler can actually use it by pressing the stock against his or her shoulder and looking into the camera display and then press the trigger to shoot, as in take a picture.

According to odditycentral.com, the Stockcam also has a “fire mode” switch that allows the user to switch between a safety mode, so he or she doesn’t accidentally “shoot,” a focus mode, and a fast mode for recording videos. The focus switch lets a photographer control focus by pulling the trigger at different distances.

The Stockcam also includes a detachable strap buckle that photographers can sling their cameras over their shoulders. The Stockcam has an adjustable cheek rest and rail height and can be attached directly to the top of a tripod.

Based on the company’s marketing material, Stockcam is also designed to be a “fun” and “engaging” way to capture photos and videos in any way and direction possible.

However, one can only imagine how law-enforcement officials will react if a cameraman comes with this type of equipment to “shoot” photos or videos in their presence!!!
