Set a support as high as possible
on a long photo-pole and have a load on it needs to have
the load fitted on the tip of the carbon pole. It means
a good co-axial sitting on this end.
This co-axial support lead
to this aim.
It is manually operated for positioning
the camera..
It has two main parts:
- the connecting tube
- the saddle
A thick rubber joint in compression
between the saddle and the tube let change easily the inclination
of the camera.

Co-axial connecting tube
It is an aluminium tube Ø 12-10
x 1 mm. It fits coaxially either:
- on the conic end
of a rod Ø 9 mm
- inside an aluminum
tube Ø 16 mm

Making of the connecting tube:
-

- Saddle
-
The saddle provides all orientations
of the camera, tilt inclination and format of the picture
as landscape or portrait. It is made with a simple L shape
or with parts assembly depending on what is expected.
.
The saddle tilts on the aluminum
tube with an horizontal axis. The tube Ø 12mm must
be reinforced there so it doesn't becomes flat during locking
the screw.
.
A small tripod head could be used
but the work to adapt it will be about the same and in my
opinion it is not as easy to use for fine settings of tilt.
