05Sep Pico Flex Table Dolly Standard Fluid Head Quick Camera Clip
Jason wanted to see the 717AH fluid head mounted to the Pico. Here’s a video clip showing the mount and how much area is left. The 717AH has the same base diameter as most video fluid heads so a variety should be able to fit without issues.
Now going back to using friction arms, many people have asked about a way to mount their iPhone or similar HD Video device. Here i’m showing a universal quick camera clamp that can adapt to literally any cellphone or small camera. There is very little spring tension so it won’t crush your device. The device stays inside the clamp through the angled design and with rubber grip pads. I also show my Sony HX9V mounted to the clamp. We’re hoping to make these clamps available at PhotographyandCinema.com soon.

@Jason – None. Damn Youtube always flagging audio music, even original stuff.

@Renato Murilo Langona – As soon as the first batch starts shipping, international will open up. Trying!

Yeah, no audio. It looks like it you put a video head on it there not enough room for the friction arms to bolt on, am I right?

@Apostolos – Yes once the full size head is on you can’t mount the arms. You could of course just mount your light on the camera, or mount the friction arm from the hotshoe of the camera.

Aaah what a tease. Please do announce it on your blog when you can ship internationally. Being up in Canada is always such a sad thing for buying stuff from the states lol

I have this fluid head but the threads are too big for the pico dolly, what did you do to attach it?

what is the best way to attach a fluid head? I have the 717AH

@Z – If the Fluid head has a 3/8″ female thread underneath you can use the 1/4 step up adapter. Look for ones like these: 1/4″ to 3/8″ Tripod Adapter / Bushing
