mounting on clading

Recommended Posts


In a word, spread the load - sorry that's three words.

 

Depending on the material (and the camera), you need to look at fixing on a board or plate, and then spreading out the boards fixings over a wider area (less risk of stress fractures).

 

Some materials can become more brittle with the effects of age, so it is not unheard of that a camera decides to abseil, with the first decent gust of wind, or build up of snow.

 

If the longterm material strength is in question, it may be worth fitting an independent 'lanyard' cable, so if the worst happens, the camera won't end up on terra ferma.
