I haven't done it, so this is just a quick-and-dirty idea. Take a couple of inches of 3/4" aluminium rod, bore out the middle quite a lot bigger than the chimera and then put a flat on the outside. Drill a couple of countersunk holes all the way through for screws to mount it to the mill head. Also drill and tap two pairs of holes at 120 degrees to the flat spaced to suit the camera. once the holder is mounted on the mill insert the camera and some dense rubber foam. The foam should be on the mill-head side of the camera, and the set screws that I forgot earlier should be on the other side. You can now twiddle the 4 screws to align the camera, and the foam will keep the camera pushed against the screws. The foam avoids the problem of there being a mill head in just the place you would need to apply your hex key. Consider making the tube a little long, then you can fit a bung when the camera is not in use. -- atp If you can't fix it, you don't own it. http://www.ifixit.com/Manifesto ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Shape the Mobile Experience: Free Subscription Software experts and developers: Be at the forefront of tech innovation.
