Rods support

Designs for rod support

The idea is to make a universal rod support that could mount:

• The Elphel 353 camera

• Any type of small PC (camera controller)

• power source

• Audio interface + microphone

• Most types of 35mm adapters

• Matte box

It is also important that the system is prepared for future hardware changes (like a bigger camera front-end for bigger sensors.)

The following examples are designs by Elphel users/developers:

This design by Oscar Spierenburg puts the camera body in a 45° to save space for the PC. The tablet PC (touchscreen) is placed upright (Portrait) position and can be re-postitioned. (Note: this is not a shoulder mount setup, the middle part is the tripod/steadycam mount.)
