For Olympus AF10XB,
Konica Hexar.
The craddle itself weights 340g.
The total weight of the rig is
1300g with the suspension, the craddle, the Konica Hexar,
and video.
The suspension comprises the holding
bar, the pendulum, the stabilizing bow.
The craddle comprises the hoop,
the Konica, the radio unit.
Built early 2000, after the experience
of a craddle with the Leica minilux; this later been found
not well suitable for kap, I wished to have a multi-orientation
craddle for the Konica Hexar. Being heavier, (490g), this
type of craddle needed a better stiffness of the hoop.
Tilt and frame are mounted with
cog-wheel system. The pan is actionned by a zoom camcorder
motor.
