The long and light pole cam 1.0 was upgraded to a wingnut for the jam nut today. This makes the removal of the GoPro attachment much quicker.
While at the hardware store I also picked up some thicker all thread to make a short and stout model capable of slinging the GF1. It went together well enough, but I will be shopping for a lighter ball head mount.
These are pretty good for prototyping, the all thread needs something to cover the edges though, I am thinking thin tubing?
Rob, I think a great way to finish off the project, and cover all of the threading, would be to use heat shrink tubing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heat-shrink_tubing
That is a eureka moment, I may even have some in the “ideas waiting to happen pile” in the garage.
That’s my favorite pile. Especially because it gets so dusty. 🙂
