The discussion of the Alien series of films and the props used in them is the aim, but if it's got Big Bugs and Big Guns, then they are welcome too!

I did it for the smart gunner HS, both Audio & Video, and plan to do this for the helmet camera as well.

I did use a real Pentax lens, removed the internal lenses and added a sun filter.
A “pinhole camera” can be placed easily inside the hollowed resin camera body.
You can use a wire or a wireless camera, I prefer the wireless version.

The easier version would be to use an “action camera” directly without the Pentax lens, but I assume this is not what you are looking for.

When you buy a pinhole camera check they also include the battery clip.
