Shutter Servo Mount for Point n Shoot - Page 2

Crash9 · Oct 03, 2009, 01:18 PM

Thank you for your orders. one note though I noticed it say's priority shipping on the orders which was a mistake....sorry

. They shipped First Class but should still make it to you in a short amount of time

. Most of you probably noticed the lower shipping cost and figured it wasn't the higher cost priority. Thanks again

I'm new to AP and want to get into it with my Trex 500. I was wondering what point n shoot camera do you recommend for use with the servo mount. I have an older Canon camera but want a better cheaper lighter camera for my 500. I was looking at the 750SD Canon on eBay and was thinking of getting this or a model close to it. What do you guys think. Thanks

I like the SD750 and 770is. 750 is my favorite because it still uses the 1/8 plug for video out which I have already. BTW welcome to RCgroups

Hi Crash,

I received my mount safely yesterday. Had a quick fit and its perfect.

Many Thanks again,
Charl

Scott's brackets are very neat. It took a few minutes work with needle nose to form it to my Olympus Stylus 9000.

I gave a little thought to whether or not the bracket is worth the effort. After all, you can just glue the servo to the camera. I decided it's worth it. As the cameras get smaller there is less area available for glueing. The bracket is removable and leaves a clean camera. Worth the money and effort.

I got my mount and canon camera here now and just wanted to say it looks nice. I bench tested the 2 together and it works great. can't wait to get some pics from my heli. thanks.

I have three now and like them. Now if I could just position the servo to depress expose button in one direction and shut down button in the other rotational direction. . . . ? I break a lot of camera snouts. Got any ideas?

And I wish I had one for a 1/8 inch thicker camera for my Lumix FT-1

I think 1/8" is do-able. Are all the Lumix about the same thickness...If so I could have a Lumix shutter mount made just for them

My Lumix DMC-FT1 measures 0.925 inch thick. I don't know about the rest but if you make up two of them for me I will buy them. Bill
