G10-Rig with image transmission
I built the Canon G10-Rig
during january and february 2011. 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 GentleLED-Focus.

GoPro
Hero2-Rig
|
I have built the GoPro Hero2-Rig at the end of
April 2012. It should become a very easy and 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.
The complete
rig (incl. camera, picavet-cross and role blocks) weighs only 190 g. |

MC-12 radio control
| 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. |

Monitors
with 2,4 GHz receiver
| The
VF-120M-Monitor
has a 2,5 inch TFT display with an integrated 4 channel 2,4
GHz-Receiver and a speaker.
As a
shade I equipped the monitor with a Kaiser DigiShield. |

2,4
GHz-transmitter
| From
IBW-Electronic I bought the circuit board for the 2,4
GHz-Transmitter. I equiped it with an antenna, a LED, a
push button and a power-switch. With the external
antenna the transmitter got a significant better range.
To the datasheet
of the transmitter. |
2,4 GHz-Stereo
transmitter from IBW-Electronic

|
| The
Fatshark-transmitter I bought at Globe-Flight. He uses the same
frequencies (2414, 2432, 2450, 2468) like the IBW-transmitter. So he
matches exactly with my 2 monitors.
Weight of the complete
Fatshark-transmitter: 27 g. |

Video-tray
with 2,4 GHz receiver and monitor
| The video-tray
(adapted from Ralf Beutnagel) is equipped with a TFT-display and a 2,4-GHz receiver.
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.
