Title: Mounting camera and laptop on a tripod
Post by: idenford on August 07, 2009, 08:32:33 pm

I cannot for the life of me find anyone who sells an arm with clamps, ect where you can mount a camera and a 17 inch mac laptop on a Gitzo Tripod and RRS ball head.
Seems the 17 inch is a problem size wise.
Any ideas would be appreciated

Not sure if the 17-inch will fit on this:
Gitzo Monitor platform (http://www.gitzo.com/Jahia/site/gitzo/pid/4765?kindOfProductCollectionRequest=productDetail&productCode=G065&productDescription=Monitor%20and%20laptop%20platform&curBrandId=BGI&market=MKT1&actualPathCategoryKey=1CAT:AAA1:2CAT:BB59:3CAT:CCC1)

and then there is this:
Manfrotto 131DD Tripod Accessory Arm (http://www.manfrotto.com/Jahia/site/manfrotto/cache/offonce/pid/2299)

I have seen this in use with a laptop on the above platform, and then the camera at the other end.

The Manfrotto Arm (http://www.shop.tethertools.com/Manfrotto-131DDB-Tripod-Accessory-Arm-4-Head-131DDB.htm) works well but you can see a lot of different options at Tether Tools (http://www.tethertools.com/plugging-in/introducing-the-tether-table-aero-aero-black/).  I bought some stuff recently from them based on a discussion happening in another forum on topic.  Really well built and sturdy.

The DigiPlate will support a 17" laptop: http://kck.st/Jn8ZUD

Use it in conjunction with a Manfrotto Magic Arm: http://bhpho.to/JjSsO4

with a Super Clamp to your tripod leg: http://bhpho.to/Kdogc1
