probably what I'll do Just thought someone might have it already packaged together.

My reservation with that, is the stability of the goose neck. I have never seen anyone mount a camera on a goose neck before. There are so many clamps, super poles, tripods with jib arms, and any number of gaffer solutions that would give you a more stable platform. I am sure you have a good application, but I would gaffer tape a camera to a mic stand on that goose neck and try it out first.

I'm not really understanding what your trying to do?
and I've never heard of these goose neck tripod.
its a good idea thought

I use these, There all remote controlled to pan and tilt through out the room, this way the performers can do they're own zooming, pan or tilt as requested by customers.
It probably can be tweeked to stick on the head of most surfaces. "if ya know what your doing, without breaking it"

Good suggestion, I had forgotten about those things. I'll have to take another look.

The goosenecks come in diffrent grades and widths. I figured I would need a larger one than usual for a camcorder to stay in place.
