Hi-8 Camera Gun

by Edwin



Check out this camera, or should we say gun? Heck, we might as well call it the Hi-8 camera gun which hails from the vintage Vietnam era. This device is up for sale, featuring a rifle stock back to show its roots, where word has it that it was developed specially for a military reporter. The rifle segment comes in handy when steadying your shots (film shooting, not shooting at enemies). Best not to bring this to the airport with you lest you get caught and have to dispose of your treasured possession. This is best left at home as an ornament, as it is guaranteed to be a conversation starter for first timers to your home.

This is the coolest camera I’ve seen! My dad would get a kick out of this. Not only is it a camera, but it is vintage to boot. Two of his most favorite words in the dictionary.

Hi Edwin! Now isn’t this neat? :) A collector’s item indeed … and a perfect gift for my husband! :)

How cool is this! I’d love to own one. This would look formidable on the display cabinet where I keep my collection of old cameras, which I inherited from my dad.

Thanks for sharing this, Edwin!
