Title: Tablet Holder Galaxy Tab7"
Post by: dude on March 20, 2013, 12:46:02 PM
Hi guys,
i do not want to post this in a "normal" video or dslr- Forum,
because you guys from ML gave us so much, so i d like to share this only with you and all your supporters.
It s pretty easy to built a holder for your Tablet (using dslr controller for example).
Looking for a Tablet that is not large and does not cost that much, i came up with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7"-
it cost me 170 Euro, dlsr controller runs on it and it is not that big in size, so i can use it on my steadycam as preview.
I searched the web for a while but did not find good Holders, except one from a film guy who sells them for 80 Euros...
So, go and get a http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0084YWC32/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Tablet Holder,
buy a cheap magicarm http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B009TQ2YJ6/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
and get a Front Plate od a bicycle stem! That s it!
Drill a thread in the stem plate for 1/4", and use the holes to fix it on the tablet-holder.
There is like 5mm space between the bottom of the holder an the tablet, so it s easy to use big screws.
Check the picture, i think it s better to understand.
So i only paid 50 Euros for all of this-

Looks interesting. :D. What type of cable do you use to connect to the tablet?
