strut mount for camera

[skydiveoc 0]

anyone know of designs for mounting a DSLR to the strut for exit shots?

Manfrotto has lots of great tools for unique mounts, including monster clamps.

I'd be interested in this monster clamp you mentioned.
Sounds like a cool idea for static line jumpers.

KSUPC (http://www.skydivekstate.com) has some sort of exit shot camera set up on their 182. I don't know the specifics, but they have some photos from it posted on their website, and I'm sure if you contacted them they'd be happy to answer questions.

Brent Finley used to/still has a setup that from what I understand is an aluminum plate that gets bolted to the strut using a shape similar 'U' bolt. Then he had an adjustable 6 inch swivel mount bolted to the plate and ofcourse then to his camera. I was looking for it a few months ago, but did not find it. Like spot said, check out those pages, but then you can probably just rig something up yourself that is pretty solid.

I'll see if he's got pics.

I think hes referring to the "you have achieved good exit seperation when the last group are at 45 degrees" myth which is incorrect...

This is not a DSLR, but the principle should work.
This is on a U-206.
(The tape is just for additional stability; there's a big tripod screw.)

Looks good, but I would put some rubber sheet in between the hose clamps and the strut to prevent them from wearing into it. Might well be unnecessary though.
