Nigel Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 I am about to shoot a project which will be presented on portrait hung plasma screens. To film the footage I want to mount the camera on its side. Does anyone have an idea for what sort of mounts are available, either purpose built or as adapters to place on a gel head?

Mitch Gross Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 You need an L-bracket, which is an L-shaped thick metal plate which goes between the tripod and the camera. We have them available for rent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas-english Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 put the camera sideway onto a head and tilt the head to your angle, make sure you don t want to "PAN" for your shot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Bowerbank Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 If it's a really low angle shot or if you have a raised flat surface to put it on, you can always lay the camera on a sandbag or cushion. Just make sure your framing is balanced and even with the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 Thanks very much for the replys. My first time on here and I cannot believe I have not used it before. I think the side mounted tripod then full tilt is a good idea, allowing for PANs. Ill post a reply when I have shot it. Thanks Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
