Zach Ashcraft Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hey all. Going to pick up an RX100 iv this week, I think. I had the version 1 back when it came out, and loved how it enabled me to be more creative in my camera placement. I'm wanting to mount it to a number of objects to get that cool POV/object in use angle, though I'm not sure whats out there in the way of rigging. I know gopros have the benefit of their propiatary mounts and clamps. Does anyone have experience with various small mounts, clamps, bits and pieces with a camera such as this? Specifically I'm wanting to mount it to a variety of rifles at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chris Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 I've been looking at doing the same thing using a 1/4 20 tripod mount for GoPro attachments. So you can take advantage of the massive amount of mounts available for GoPro's instead of trying to rig stuff for a small camera. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1061157&gclid=CjwKEAjwxYGuBRCtoqjkrIPDqDwSJAAnd-rCDRusmy-75s_qJdx0sM86zDCykxLPiTrWCH2njh2wWBoC-CHw_wcB&is=REG&A=details&Q= iamoui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_David Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 also BMC micro with its global shutter will be super interesting as a go pro replacement iamoui 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubrickian Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 With the amount of rolling shutter the RX100 IV has even in 1080p mode, I don't think you're going to get good results with it strapped go-pro style to someone's head or chest. The lens isn't that wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lens isn't that wide. I prefer to mount it to objects which stay static in the frame as the camera moves. Cant stand the look of head/chest mounted stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chris Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Genius, had no idea this existed. Thanks for the link!I stumbled across that totally by accident when I was looking for a suction cup mount for my a5100. I have a bunch of GoPro mounts and though I should make a standard mount that has a GoPro mount connection. BAM! My million dollar idea! A few seconds googling revealed buying an island with a wave of GoPro accessory cash wasn't in my future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
