Teradek cradle / Gold mount passthrough

[Noah Orisich]

I've been wanting to make a more cost effective version of Teradek's passthrough / tx cradle.

I purchased an Anton Bauer male and female plate and plan to weld a simple holder for the Teradek. The wiring seems pretty straight forward, but definitely something I can not afford to mess up by putting it on a camera. Are there any schematics or things to know before even attempting this?

I can't give any advice as far as wiring, but I am interested to see how this turns out, please post pictures of the process!

The wiring is super simple, BUT just know that when you add that many additional adapters, it'll wobble a lot. I built something similar, took way too long to get it right and in the end it just added wobble so I went back to a simple noga arm and a cable. Much more flexible and no play.
