Wheelchair Camera Mount

[@parmstrong5305]

This video has supplied me with inspiration to get on again. Many thanks. I look forward to more.📷🎬📽

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Thank you so much for telling me, that means a lot! Hope you have been out getting some good shots 😁

[@allanhfchin]

Thanks for your video! I'm in a somewhat similar situation in that I have to walk with a rollator, so of course I have to keep both hands on the handles. Ultimately I want to attach my phone to a gimbal to a rod to a superclamp on my rollator, and your suggestions will definitely point me in the right direction! 😀

[@mistiscott9059]

I am a photographer and always struggle for the angle since I am in the chair now. Thank you for the video!!

[@EmQuattrocchi]

I’m so happy my video could help! I hope you have been able to put together something that can help you get some photos with different angles 😊

[@Picplosions]

This...is just what I need! Awesome video!

[@EmQuattrocchi]

I’m so glad my video could help you!!! Thanks for letting me know 😁

[@astrorift712]

Very helpful thank you

[@TiffanyLAWard]

Im a wheelchair user and ive fallen in love with photography and vodeography, but ive been looking allover for ways to mount my phone on my chair so I can be adventurous and take photos and videos when i go outdoors.

That's a great solution Em thank you for making this. I've already shared your video with someone who asked me (had no idea how to solve this) and it will undoubtedly help!

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Thank you for letting me know, that’s so good to hear! I hope it helps them 😊

[@105len]

Great thinking, thank you for the idea! I really appreciate it.

[@EmQuattrocchi]

No worries! Glad my video could help and thanks for letting me know. 😊

Thank you so much for this. I had a lady booked onto a session yesterday where we needed to use a tripod, and the traditional tripods just didn't work for her. I've already got a mono pod that I barely use, so I'll have to see if I can rig it in a similar way you have the next time I get a wheelchair user.

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Awesome! I hope you can make up something that works. I wrote in the description what equipment I bought for this. 😊

[@illoominphoto]

Okay, you’ve inspired me again. Your spirit is infectious😊!! I needed to see this today. I was beginning to lose my way. I was a photographer & tv news photojournalist for years. In 3 weeks i was in a wheelchair with CIDP. BUT, I’m slowly coming back. Definitely gonna start building this today. ❤

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Oh that makes me so happy to hear! Thank you for telling me! Have you managed to put something together and gone out capturing some nice shots?

[@illoominphoto]

Not yet. I’m working on purchasing a new charger for my A7ll. Also going to occupational therapy to work on hand controlling. I’m going to purchase the items you have here as a start. I’m a Photographer as well and would love to keep in contact with you.

[@bradyatomos7478]

Thank you! This was so helpful

[@EmQuattrocchi]

I’m so glad my video could be of some help! Thanks for letting me know 😁

[@rickrodgers7805]

that is absolutely brilliant!!!!! Never would have thought of this. Awesome job on it. Question: will the super clamp fit a tilite aero z chair, as that is what I have?

[@discoverwithdallas]

Thanks for making this informational video! 💚💚 Going to have to try this!

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Glad it could help and you’ll have to let me know how you go! 😊

[@markworkman9680]

Great idea. I was inspired to mount a gimbal on my wheelchair. I needed a small push in the right direction for my brains to kick in. So, thanks heaps! I might only have one overworked leg but now I come with built in Steadicam!

[@EmQuattrocchi]

It definitely makes filming fun because you can get those great tracking shots! Good luck with your gimbal set up and hope that it makes it easier for you so you can go take lots of photos or videos! 😁

[@brillamajigatron]

Ooohh that’s awesome! I’ll forward this to my mum so she can take her camera places in her chair ❤️

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Thank you 😊 Awesome! Let me know how she goes if she ends up making a camera mount.

[@mickkelly22]

Thank You Em

[@EmQuattrocchi]

[@bunnybootsink9258]

Just the prefect video the help me out since I've been looking for a decent way to attach my VR360 camera set-up to my wheelchair. You have given me a route to make it happen.

[@EmQuattrocchi]

I’m so glad my video could help you! Thanks for letting me know too, I appreciate it 😊

[@bunnybootsink9258]

@@EmQuattrocchi Just to give you a heads up, there is a better quality clamp that has screw holes for camera gear. It's costs more but it's unlikely strip out and can hold more weight. Take a look at the Manfrotto 035RL Super Clamp. I plan on using it for my setup when I order all the materials for my setup later this week. I've seen it talked about a few more times on KZbin when further looking into those kinds of clamps.

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Oh that sounds awesome! Thank you 😁 I’ll have to check it out!

I have Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy and use a power wheelchair. I normally carry my camera in my hand but have found that after a little while my hand and arm begins to shake. Even with image stabilization sometimes my photos have a slight blur. Additionally, I want to buy a Sigma 150-600mm to do some wildlife photography (I live in Colorado) and holding the lens will simply hot happen. I have done something similar to yours. I have a metal seat pan underneath my chair just below where I sit and I have attached the same clamp you use to it between my legs. Then I have attached a double ball adapter to that and then screwed on another clamp to the end of the adapter. I then took my Amazon Basics Monopod (very inexpensive) and mounted it on the second clamp. I let the bottom of the monopod sit on the footplate of my chair so it is bearing the weight. This allows me to raise and lower the height of my camera as needed. I had purchased a Geekoto tripod awhile back. It has a head with a handle that unscrews and will easily screw onto the monopod. The head will support up to 40 lbs and with the monopod sitting on the footplate it will easily support the weight of my camera and the lens I want.

[@EmQuattrocchi]

That’s awesome you have found a way to work for you and your chair, sounds like a great set up you have! 😁

[@annoyedlemon]

Need to do this to my power chair

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Yeah I am sure you can easily make one up but maybe instead of using the super clamp use a attachment that can wraps around an arm rest (if you have one) and might be easier 😊

[@r.anthonymartinez]

You are awesome!! I am a actor and filmmaker too...been a paraplegic for 2 1/2 years. This is a great video and info! I hope you’re still making films !!!keep up the good work

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Thank you so much! I have actually had a little break from the production side and focusing more on screenwriting this year but I am planning on making a short film soon! 😁

[@joshuabelinfante]

Great stuff Em! Looking forward to see what you film with this setup.

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Thank you!! Yeah I’m excited to see what I can do now 😁

[@GB434]

You're the cutest gal! LOL

[@EmQuattrocchi]

Thank you 😊

[@gailinflorida]

Hi Em, the tripod head in your link doesn't look the same as the one you have. You have a tripod head with a handle. Is the link you put up correct? Thanks for this video. I can't wait to get these items so I can use a tripod with my photography!

[@EmQuattrocchi]

I’m so sorry I did put the wrong one!!!! Sorry!!! Try this one www.amazon.com.au/gp/aw/d/B00YGW6QBA?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title I’m so glad my video could help you!

[@amyalys77]

Have you updated this since making this video? I'm looking for something like this but also with a stabilizing element.

[@EmQuattrocchi]

I haven’t got a video of it but instead of using the tripod part you can attach a gimbal, they are more expensive but amazing at keeping footage nice and smooth! Does that make sense? I can send through a link to a gimbal if you like?

[@alevy1234]

Em, have you ever used a gimbal and if so do you have one to recommend

[@EmQuattrocchi]

I did before my accident and it was a Zhiyun one and haven’t used it since but I have just been given a Syrp one. I’ll let you know how I go with it after I try it out 😊

[@ivarnordlkken8082]

Unfortunately all the tripod parts are currently unavaillable.

[@EmQuattrocchi]

I’m so sorry! I’ll look for new links!

[@EmQuattrocchi]

I have uploaded some new links of some parts that you can use 😊
