Tripod Accessories - 3rdTech DeltaSphere-3000 User Manual

2.2.3 Tripod Accessories

When controlling the DeltaSphere-3000 from a laptop, it is helpful to mount the laptop on the
tripod. (See Figure 7) This shortens the cables needed for both the Ethernet and 1394
connections, and also makes it easier to move the system to different positions.
The configuration in the image is comprised of the following off-the-shelf components.
These components are available from many photographic equipment suppliers, as well as from
3rdTech. In this section we will describe how to assemble the laptop stand.
1. Place the double ball joint in the super clamp as shown in Figure 8. To do this, loosen the
DeltaSphere-3000 3D Scene Digitizer
