John Waterman Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 (edited) Hello fellow ACs, I just took delivery of a Cinetape Measure System, and noticed that the display has a wedge shaped cavity on the back to connect to a bracket or arm or something. I asked Cinematography Electronics about it, and they said that they were going to make a bracket for the display, but never did. I know I've seen this type of connector before somewhere, Panavision maybe? Any ideas what can connect to this? I've attached a picture of the back of the cinetape.

Premium Member John Sprung Posted February 21, 2010 Premium Member Share Posted February 21, 2010 The machine shop term for that kind of attachment point is a "Gib lock". There aren't standard sizes or shapes, except that mostly they're done with a 45 degree angle milling cutter. They're so easy to make that most machinists just roll their own. Any shop that has a vertical mill can make some mating parts for you. -- J.S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Waterman Posted February 22, 2010 Author Share Posted February 22, 2010 It also has a small notch where a spring lock can click in place. I have some vague recollection of a noga arm where you press a button and lock it into an on-board monitor with this type of mating connection. Anyone know of on-board monitors or noga arms with this type of a connection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I think he means dovetail, usually the angle is 45 or 60 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
