Mounting D60 on Flat-Top

Recommended Posts

Hi guys !

Just wondering how you have set up your Flat-Top / D60 systems.

I have a TRV-900, a D60 and a PC-7 for backup video at competitions.
My Flat-Top has the extended baseplate.
I'm thinking about buying 3 or 4 Velbon QRA-635 to make the system flexible and easy to reconfigure,
but it's an expensive solution ($129-$172++).

One possible solution is mounting 3 QR's side by side and a fourth QR sideways in front off QR 1 and 2.
1. Use QR 2 (center) for the TRV-900 when I do video only.
2. Use QR 1 & 3 for TRV-900 and PC-7.
3. Use sideways QR for D60 and QR 3 for PC-7 when I do photo.

What do you think ?

I'd actually mount the D60 beside the 900 (which I'm suprised to see you using with the flutter issue), with both lenses out in front for good balance. This will basically fill the entire base plate of your Flat-Top. Three wide would be quite a squeeze and when you aren't jumping all three (which it sounds like you'd not do it often) it would be more balanced. You could build up a mount just a bit behind the D60, so the PC-7 is looking over the top, sort of between the 900 and the D60. A mount there could also be reversed, for the occassional view from above when you BASE jump your helmet (well, that's what I'd do with it!).

The laws of physics are strictly enforced.
