rig #4 |
|
|
The rig is made of 2mm plywood, which is easy to handle and much cheaper than carbon. There are two mini servos- one for the rotation and a second one to press the release button. A gear which is cut out of thin plastic closes an electric contact for a moment- long enough to let the release servo fullfill appr. 1.5 turns. Total weight ist 295 gr.- 150 gr. for the camera (Canon Ixus 50), 145 gr. for the rig, energy pack and suspension using a small 1/3 AAA rechargeable battery- it will last for about 45 minutes. If you want to do a longer KAP session better use 2 AA Mignon batteries which means to add 15 gr. |

the rollover bars will not help if the camere crashes, they make it safer to place it on the ground |
