DSLR Cage (15mm Rail) Remix- with Lasers!

pinshape

This is the second remix I did of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:29677 for a film class I took last month. The other one is here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1593998 I decided to make a short film about spaying and neutering dogs, since in China this practice is not common, so I needed a way to shoot at dog height. I came up with this solution. I also used two cross-shaped lasers as a viewfinder, allowing me to see where I was shooting without having to look down. The parts are included, but I didn't use it because I was unsure if the light might harm the dogs' eyes. The rail clamps fit a 12mm laser, you can use either two cross ones or four line ones. As in the original design, you'll need 15mm and 20mm aluminum tubing, which is thicker than necessary (15mmOD/10mmID and 20mmOD/12mmID). The end plugs reflect this, but they're not really needed. I use 17mm wide, 10mm high screw-on rubber feet. The thumbwheels can be found here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:11848 The link to the original model details the required hardware.
