shimming the still camera

[sparrella 0]

I have a Bonehead Optik Illusion (which I love). There is an HC42 in a Cookie Composite Box (which I love) side mounted at a pretty good up angle and a Canon Rebel mounted on top. I've adjusted the angle of the video camera several times now so the video and still camera are not shooting at the same thing. I need to shim up the still camera, which is mounted on a stroboframe.

I've seen someone use washers and I've even seen a guy use a piece of wood. Someone was telling me to use a hockey puck and sand it down into a wedge.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I used a couple plastic shims that came with my laminate flooring instalation kit and they worked great. They're only a quarter inch thick on the one side, but that was all I needed to line up the video a still at my optimum shooting range (about 4-6 ft).

You can probably pick some up at any hardware store.

I would recommend the washers.

You can add more or less as needed.

My 2 cents!!
