Point me to the FAQ and call me lazy. My search keeps pulling up expensive stuff.
I just purchased a couple of video cams. I would like to cobble together some sort of clamp->arm->ball head to mount a consumer camcorders on. I was sticker shocked at the options at the local camera store (bogen magic arm, bogen ball head/rapid release, they didn't have wide clamp <i want at least 6-8 inches round and square capable>.
Is there a cheap way to mimic what I am looking for?
As an aside, is it just me or are Bogen/Manfrotto part number and descriptions hard as f to follow (compatibility with their other company parts, that is)?
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
