Would any of you recommend a Manfrotto Magic Arml http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-244-Variable-Friction-Bracket/dp/B000J4FONU and a Manfrotto Super Clamp http://www.amazon.com/Manfrotto-035RL-Super-Clamp-Standard/dp/B0018LQVIA/ref=pd_bxgy_p_text_y for fitting the camera onto the ship for the pictures?
It's got to be tied down somehow, or eventually it will go for it's own adventure. When I used the DSLR, I tied a tripod to a rail and used 2 inches of thick foam to pad the tripod and (hopefully) absorb vibrations. I used a gear head on the top of the tripod as it was a lot sturdier than the ball head I had with me...
Right, I agree. So what I am thinking of is a kit made up of 2 super clamps, one articulating arm, gorillapod and ballhead or geared head. Rubber pads and cable ties can be sourced on the ship as needed. This should give me a lot of mounting options.
Any products you would recommend instead of the manfrotto ones? or in addition to?
Thanks for all the help.
