Attaching camera & accessories to the camera base plate
The versatile camera mounting plate on the Spyder Pod unit has one
3/8”-16 threaded and eleven 1/4”-20 threaded mounting holes, in
addition to a thru-hole for each thread pitch (30), allowing you to
attach accessories such as articulating arms, lights, monitors and
more. It can also accommodate just about any camera configuration
including direct camera attachment as well as cameras on ball head
or fluid head attachments. Four of the 1/4”-20 holes are designed to
accept our own optional high hat riser unit (31), enabling the use of a
fluid head for more flexible and smooth camera movement.
Mounting the Spyder Pod to your vehicle
1) Have a plan: Decide where the camera needs to be placed to get the
desired shot (32). Familiarize yourself with the vehicle by inspecting
it for places where additional safety mounting points can reside. This
could include door jambs, ridges, a wheel well, chassis, hood, frame
etc. (33) These areas are defined as “anchor points”.
