Ideas for Modifications of the LAING M02

That's a collection of ideas and suggestions of reduser.net members on how to redesign the Laing M02. I sent it out earlier to Laing and CAME.

  • Stronger arm springs for a payload of up to 11kg or more. Maybe replaceable springs for heavier loads
  • Easy and fast adjustment of the springs. Right now, an allen wrench is required even though there is a hand knob
  • All parts milled and not made out of folded metal
  • Monitor mount on 15mm rods
  • Battery plate on 15mm rods, angle adjustable (either V-mount or AB-mount depending on every individual order) with LEMO 2pin out
  • Quick release dovetail system with two 1/4" and one 3/8"
  • Additional forward travel for the camera mounting dovetail plate
  • Additional clearance of bottom of tilt head when mounted on the sled cradle. A thicker docking ring or additional spacer would solve this problem
  • Docking plate which mounts to any light stand
  • Sturdy carbon pole with diameter between 1.5“ to 2“
  • Improved vertical adjustment length of the arm
  • A 90 degree mark for camera head tilt. Also markings on the center pole to align the monitor and battery sleds.
  • Bubble levels on both stage and bottom of the sled (with back-light)
  • 2x 2pin LEMO, HDMI and an HD-SDI socket at the bottom of the sled
  • 3x 2pin LEMO (2x 12VDC, 1x 5VDC), HDMI and HD-SDI socket at the top of the sled
  • 1x 2pin LEMO to 6pin RED LEMO cable
  • 3x 2pin LEMO to flying wire cables
  • Junction box with 1/4" thread or rod clamp: 2pin LEMO in / 2x D-Tap, 2x XLR and 2x USB 5v out (at additional cost / not included in the base package)
  • No generic printed text or labels like "Camera Stabilizer"or "Hotwheel"
  • All aluminum parts black anodized
