Show me your mount!!!

[acteg]

There is a plastics company here that makes signs and manufactures items out of acrylic. I just go there and buy their scraps and culls for a few dollars/pound. There has got to be a store like that around you. They don't have the good stuff at a regular box store.

Thanks for the tip

Here are a some pics of my "Go Pole " I made. Less than $5.00 for the pole (Extendable Squeegee from Walmart), 10 minutes with a saw to cut the removable Squeegee head down to mate up nicely with the tripod mount & drill hole to mount tripod mount. Maybe $3 for SS screw for the tripod mount, rubber washers, etc. for cosmetics. It's fairly light, made from aluminum and ABS. It even has a cool decal I left on that says, "DANGER, Avoid power lines!".

(walmart adjustable weight golds gym jump rope handles + 1/4 " polycarbonate + stainless steels bolts/nuts + gopro tripod mount) (1.5 hours of build time) = fully customizable inexpensive camera tray....

I'll be going this route myself. A trip to Walmart and a trip to Home Depot should provide everything it seems.

My pseudo-"Goodman" mount: Piece of flat Aluminum stock bent into a "U", a piece of Stainless All-thread (special order from Fastenal) inside a piece of Aluminum tube. Stainless nuts to hold that in place. The GoPro tripod mount is attached with a 1/4-20 button-head allen bolt. Cleaned up the overhang on the bench grinder - also makes it obvious if it's shifted at all.

Hero 2, Mako tray with legs and light mounts, Promate 500 lumen lights. Need to spread the light and come up with better mounting arms.

I guess it would depend on the beam of the lights as to how far they should be apart but for me I tell ya my suitcase ain't big enough.

All the parts strip down to a nice flat rig you can put into component parts.. Each light only takes 4 AA batteries, relatively short.
