backboard mounts - DSLR & Basketball

Anyone able to point me in a direction for a DIY or commercially-available SLR

mount that can handle the stresses of being slammed around in the midst of a

basketball game --- namely, by being mounted to the rear of a gymnasium's glass

backboard and the SLR in question triggered remotely via PWizards?

 

Any links/info/experience/anecdotes are much appreciated.

You need some Superclamps and a variable friction arm, maybe 2 for extra support and

safety cables. You might want to get some insurance too just in case somethnig goes wrong.

Last thing you will want is permission to mount the remote behind the backboard.

Gee they are nice shots Roland

Hey Roland you wouldn't happen to have a shot of your set up here would you? I'm thinking along the same lines for net ball here.

Hi Mark,

Sorry I don't have an image of the set up. But take a look at this. It's very similar.

Hope that helps.

Thanks mate I get it now.

I came up with this for netball I'll set it up and post some images. Netball doesn't have a back board but i think this will work.

 

Thanks Roland.<div></div>
