How Can I Develop a Linear Gimbal System for Rifle Optics Stabilization?

[Art_sh]

Hello everyone, I need some advice. I have a rifle and need to install an optical system on it. It can't be installed in the forehead because of the large recoil and shaking during the shot. I had an idea to develop a stabilizing platform. First, we want to overcome the longitudinal recoil. The idea is to use linear motors, but the question is in their speed of movement. We made equipment that measures the recoil when firing along 3 axes G\t. Can someone help with the calculations, knowing the exact parameters of the recoil, calculate whether it is possible to compensate for the recoil electromechanically so that the camera remains motionless in the longitudinal direction. Thanks in advance.

General advice: It's easier to quickly move/rotate a small mirror in front of the camera, than the entire camera.

Welcome to PF.

First, we want to overcome the longitudinal recoil.

First, get yourself a better muzzle brake.

... calculate whether it is possible to compensate for the recoil electromechanically so that the camera remains motionless in the longitudinal direction.

Do you mean the aiming direction, or the position along the barrel?

Maybe, consider mounting the optical system with the camera, like a normal telescopic sight on the gun. Record the image while shooting to learn the angular response of the camera mount. Correct the position of the image digitally to remove that component.

Maybe you could better describe the application of such a system, rather than what you think it should do.

Correct the position of the image digitally to remove that component.

I would check if readily available sports cameras, like GoPro, are able to sufficiently stabilse the image, before trying to build anything.
