Two Camera heads
A while back I recall a thread showing several people's setup for mounting two cameras on a single tripod.
I'm sure Roger was one and someone else had one too. I'm looking for a similar thing, although I'm actually looking to mount two 7" monitors rather than two cameras. The only commercial ones I can find are quire expensive £90+ for a bar that you still need to mount adapters to. Anyone recommend anything?

Re: Two Camera heads
Below is the item you might have already seen. I have one from when I ran M4/3 system cameras. It is a nice bar.
http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-131D...sin=B001AMRX84 In the thread you refer to there were some do it yourself suggestions, I'm sure someone will pop in with a link for you.

Re: Two Camera heads
Thanks - that's the one I've seen - though it's the same old $99 in the US, $150 here :(

Re: Two Camera heads
That's not fair.

Re: Two Camera heads
I have used the one linked to for two stills cameras but now use this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Manfrotto-82.../dp/B001GCUMYU I had the central locknut break on me through over tightening on my part so I had an engineer make me one out of steel. It's cheaper and lighter than the arm linked and will easily support two monitors. |

Re: Two Camera heads
Hi David, this is my multi mount, which uses the Hague twin camera mount, plus a clamp mount for a third camera. Here is the link to the plate Hague Camera Supports | TCM Twin Camera Mount

Re: Two Camera heads
Thanks guys - that's a couple of alternatives worth looking in to... best of all they got cheaper as we went along :)

Re: Two Camera heads
Hey Dave, here's one of the earlier threads: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/wedding-...ne-tripod.html.
By the way, does "two cameras, one tripod" sound like a porn film to anyone else, or is that just me? |

Re: Two Camera heads
You guys must have money to burn. Why not go to an engineers shop and ask the apprentice to make you one.

Re: Two Camera heads
I assume you did that for tripods and fluid heads as well?

Re: Two Camera heads
That Hague one looks like a "fancy" version of the one I cobbled up for myself from some bar stock from the local big box hardware supply... I don't think I could have made it that cheap if I'd paid myself!
