Features
- The clamps are a safe way to attach any camera with an Arca-Swiss style plate.
- The rail has a built-in bubble level to get a straight shot.
- The clamps can be repositioned side to side.
- The center cameras can be mounted either direction.
- The GoPro buckles work with standard GoPro mounts so you can connect the cameras.
- I used the bendable knuckles included with each GoPro to create a camera that can be angled to shoot in any direction for greater flexibility.
- The whole unit weighs about 5 pounds without cameras attached.
- The open spaces in the bar make it lighter and allowed me to attach a Vulture Equipment Works strap for easy carrying.
I am quite pleased with how it’s turned out. I was able to easily gather a lot more options when shooting video and time-lapse (safe to say I tripled my output os usable shots).
Geeky… yes. Pricey… uh huh. Virtually indestructible… absolutely.

I see — you channeled your inner MacGyver and this is the result. I bow to your ingenuity!
I love it; I’m guessing once its set and one camera is shooting you don’t touch it. Is it stable enough to carefully play with one camera while another is shooting time lapse?
I’m liking this because I’m trying to do some lapses with one camera at 140-200mm, one at 20-30mm and a gopro for UWA – all at same time with similar but slightly different angles. With the final production cutting between the various views and even repeating the zoomed in action!
On the ultra lightweight tripod I brought… to much shake to adjust. On a heavy set of sticks, its totally fine. Yes.. the shots are far enough apart that you can cut between without it feeling like a jump cut.
Very cool idea. I can see lots of applications, including dive photography. Can you post a photo of it hanging from the Vulture strap? Interested to see it in action.
