Canon G1X-Rig
with image transmission
|
I built the Canon G10-Rig
during february and march 2013. It has a 12V-accupack, which supplies the
image transmission and over a potential transformer the
servos with power.
Das Rig can
be zoomed with a servo and triggered with the
gentWIRE-Focus.
I can
make aerial videos, without having restrictions while taking a photo,
by using an additional Servo.
Optionally I can attach with few handles a fixture for the GoPro Hero2, so that
parallel extreme-wide angle photos are possible. The rig
weight increases by the mounting and the GoPro Hero2 to a total weight of
1.550 g.

GoPro
Hero2-Rig
I have built the GoPro Hero2-Rig at the end of
April 2013. It should become a light rig to be able to use
it already with the lightest breath of wind. The
admission direction and the inclination are adjustable
by hand. In the plastic housing is a small videotransmitter
with 10mW (PL0642 - 5V) which is supplied by a small
rechargeable battery with power.

| The
Nikon
CP5000-Rig and the Canon G10-Rig can be completely radio controlled from
the ground. I am able to rotate each rig horizontal and
vertical, to activate and deactivate the image
transmitter, zoom and trigger the camera. |

Meanwhile
5 different 10mW-transmitters are available to me for the 2,4-GHz area. The transmitters of IBW, Fatshark and Jesmay can be fastened with
a few handles to my Rig. All that 3 transmitters work with 12V-operating voltage. I have inserted the
RangeVideo transmitter in my PAP box. He is supplied about a
voltage converter with 5 V. |

For the electricity supply an rechargable 12V-battery with 2,500 mAh is available.
It can be loaded directly about a loading socket. The
dimension of the tray is 20cm x 25cm. It can be mounted with a tripod screw on a photo tripod. |

Picavet-Suspension

I
use a picavet-suspension for my rigs based on the
floating ferry in Rendsburg.
The suspension is build with carbon fibre and
t-connectors. The line rolls over ball bearing mounted
rolls from ship modelmaking.
