Pro-Timer tripod mount - Sheeba - 2018-10-01 Hello Gunther, hello people, For a long time I was looking for an optimal solution for attaching my pro-timer to the tripod. The solution to fix the Pro-Timer on the flash shoe of the camera was not optimal for me, as an operation and reading was only possible if the camera is mounted at a fairly low altitude. On the other hand, I was skeptical about the condition (light on / off, or ramp setting) of the pro timer while mounted on the flash shoe. Very quickly, a shift of the camera is possible. When I got hold of my GoPro some time ago, I came up with the following idea: Attach a GoPro bicycle mount to the center column of the tripod and then attach the Pro-Timer to it. I have implemented this and I am completely satisfied. The mechanical effort is limited to removing a nut on the mounting adapter. The solution shown here is based on my pro-timer in alternative housing, but can certainly be set up with any other solution or the original housing. The cost is 10-12 €. All details can be found in the attached PDF. I look forward to your feedback. Greeting, Hans RE: Pro-Timer tripod mount - Gunther - 2018-10-01 Nice idea! Thanks for sharing! |
