Hi Everyone, I am trying to attach my Sony Fx1 to a ATV Quad Bikes carrier frame, rather than having to dismount and set up the tripod each time. I film quite a few Horse Treks & Hare Hunts so need to get my shot quickly then on to the next location. So setting up the Tripod each time takes up valuable time.
My Manfrotto tripod has the R2 Quick release plate so would prefer something that would work with it.
There are two options I think might work but thought I would run them by you guys first.
There’s the Steady Mount which has a 3 way head and it looked the best option , but was told I can not attach a Manfrotto base plate to it so I could utilise the RC2 Quick release.
Second option is the Manfrotto Magic Arm , but am not sure if I could level the camera and do pan shots
Any help would be much appreciated - Thanks - Peter Duff - New Zealand
