"Tinker-toy" Car Mount System
|
features:
-
This system has held Varicams, Sony
CineAlta's, ARRI SR's, and a Viper Filmstream.
-
Using a variety of suction cups, camera
platforms, clamps, rods, and pins, you can build any rig you can imagine to
safely secure a camera or lighting instrument to a vehicle.
-
If one suction cup fails, other cups keep the rig secured to
vehicle.
-
Web ratchet straps add an additional
layer of security.

Light-weight Car Mount
a single-point mounting system for smaller video
cameras up to 11 pounds |
|

3028 head shown with suction cup |

Bogen 3028 Camera Mount with
3/8"-16 female thread and Woods 6" suction cup |
day-rate |
features:
o self-adjusting conical bearing locking system
o 360° rotation on both the vertical and horizontal plane
o 3/8"-16 female thread in base mounts to other camera plates
o mounts to the Woods 6" suction cup for car mount applications
o 11 pound capacity
straight-talk:
The 3028 is great for quick car-mount setups with lightweight camcorders up
to 11 pounds. However, if the head will be subject to heavy stress
from fast moves and rough roads, add ratchet straps or, even better, upgrade your mounting system to a larger
rig with multiple suction cups, grip heads, rods, ratchet straps, and the mini ball camera
plate. |
