Lately we've been looking for a remote focus or zoom technology for those who have limited or no use of their arms. I found some really great pan tilt heads but I seem to be coming up short in the zoom area. If you have any ideas I would be glad to hear them!<br />thanks<br />Beckybeekershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05146114507431741383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481486366700611229.post-59885750994704386662010-09-30T10:50:22.983-07:002010-09-30T10:50:22.983-07:00Loren,

This 'setup' works for me, but only when I shoot static objects or persons. <br />I found your site accidentally, and it was total revelation for me when I saw your blog 'Camera Mount for Wheelchair Photography'. Now I'm couraged again to think and take camera out from my closet. :)<br /><br />Now I have Olympus E-510, but it's a shame that Olympus Studio software don't have live preview option. It would be much easyer for me to shoot sometimes with laptop.<br /><br />I'm constantly looking solutions for easyer handling digital cameras.<br /><br /><br />Anyway, when I buy Mount'n Mover, I'm sure it will be new world opened for me.<br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you and take care :)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04655253361386940220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481486366700611229.post-57859729343988247752009-05-10T20:37:00.000-07:002009-05-10T20:37:00.000-07:00Jim, yep its expensive.

It really does insure the camera stays in good shape and I get the shots. Shoot me your e-mail 'cuz I'll elaborate on a new mono-pod I'm kicking around.<br /><br />The 1.7x doesnt reduce the quality of the image one bit. Still very sharp when used with my f/2.8 70-200mm. What you do lose is light. The 1.7x takes a stop away, and I end up with a f/4.0 340mm lens. So in low light, its not very good for anything moving. But its great elsewise.

The Mount'n Mover is impressive but is a little steep in price. Do you know of an alternative that is less expensive? I also noticed you were using a 1.7x converter. How does a converter affect image quality and the effective f-stop.Jimmy Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14866790533458640600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481486366700611229.post-73726195248225899882009-03-15T09:36:00.000-07:002009-03-15T09:36:00.000-07:00Hey Loren.

Its a very good product. I made an adapter plate to allow my camera to mount on a typ 3/8" stud. It's not cheap, but I trust it to mount some expensive equipment atop and its proven very effective.Loren_Worthingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376647486772418643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8481486366700611229.post-2996431027497831792009-02-05T11:17:00.000-08:002009-02-05T11:17:00.000-08:00Hi--I've been reading your blog looking for some a...Hi--<BR/><BR/>I've been reading your blog looking for some answers for a film/photography student I'm working with as an assistive technology specialist. This student has muscular dystrophy and is unable to lift his arms. He needs a way to mount both a camera and video camera to his wheelchair(not at the same time). I'm trying to figure a way for him to be able to do as much independently as possible. I don't think he'd be able to move this mount on his own...wondering if you have any thoughts?

As it turns out I'm form news videographer so I know what it's like to want to hit the streets to get a story. Now though I'm aiming my lens towards wildlife photography. I have a "QuadPod" of my own. I'm going to post photos of it on my blog as soon as I have some work completed on it. Are you able to attach and dettach it from your chair by yourself? I'm interested in comparing notes on accesibilty issues you my face at parks and refuges.Quadtographerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17242856163026435075noreply@blogger.com
