DxO Mounting Setup

January 13, 2009 ·

Michael Reichmann

My available work space does not have any large flat walls, especially on the long dimension. This presented a problem in terms of mounting theDxO Analyzertest target. My solution was to purchase someManfrottogrip equipment to create a suitable free-standing mounting system. This utilizes all standard parts, and cost approximately U.S. $300 to put together.

Please feel free to contact me if you need any additional information.

Update:

The following are the components used to construct this mounting system. All parts are from Manfrotto and the part numbers shown are from their catalog. Retail price in $ Canadian is shown. Note that either two or four of everything is required.
