This crazy-looking gadget looks like some sort of futuristic weapon, but it is actually a Nikon D200 camera; on a rifle stock. Its called the TALCS, which means Tactical Camera Assault Long Range Stock. It features a fully functional trigger that activates the shutter, so you can literally “shoot” pictures. It also features an auto-focus feature, as well as an attachment for a bipod. Via LikeCOOL.
TALCS Nikon D200 on a Rifle Stock
great job on the acronym…..shouldn’t it be TCALRS???
very creative and crazy idea. But, how to make zoom in and zoom out? I think will be hard to do that
As a journalist for the military I ask. Why?
Aside from the sling and the bi-pod, which are awesome, it seems more tacticool rather than tactical.
At that, looking more like a rifle is liable to get bullets thrown at you.
Maybe a bungee strap to keep the lens and body close to the body while not holding it.
love it!!!! where do I get one,or how do I make it work? thanks.
@Bob N’otgonaleaveaname:
A)Stock = Steadier photography while standing or in a position where a bipod is impractical
B)Handgrip out of the side = Steadying the Stock while shooting. You should note the quasi-rails are used to make it different lengths
C)It also appears to have a flashlight (?) underneath the camera, probably for use at night. It does look kinda silly, but if the camera were totally tacticool it’d all be painted grey or something and have a m4 stock.
Everything does have a practical purpose. Deal with it
Brilliant
Brilliant job
