Where to find looong camera mount, like 2 meters/7 feet?

[dantheman 0]

Does anyone know a distributor selling really long camera mounts for droping down cameras from a high ceiling? I could use some that are 2 meters (about 7 feet) long.

 

I have seen mounts like that that are hollow (for running the cables inside) and having an entrance/exit openings for the cables at the upper/lower end. At the lower end should of cause be the usual camera mount screw.

 

A plus if they also have mounts that are shorter and longer than 2 meters/7 feet.

 

Anyone?

Look in a panavise catalog they have a camera mount that attaches to a 3/4 conduit so you can have any length you want

Exactly! Just build your own using conduit and the proper mount!

Thanks for your answers.

 

Do you mean the Shaft 856-06 on this page?

Since I need them for an installation where I would need like 20+ 2 meter/7feet long mounts I would much prefer a mount that is made in one piece. Otherwise it would take a lot of screwing together, it feels costlier and it also doesn't feel as professional/secure/stable with a "'screw' your own"-mount for an installation like that. And then it also lacks the nice feature of internal cabling.

 

Don't mean to be picky but I know the product I'm after is out there. Just don't know where. Surely someone must have had the same need before.

 

Any clues?

What you need is a threaded pipe flange. It is a plumbing item. Get the right size pipe cut to length and threaded on both ends. Mount the flange to a beam, rafter, or what ever ceiling structure so that then end of the flange has enough clearance to pass your cables thru. Then at the bottom end thread on another that is affixed to the back of your favorite electrical box. Pull your cables thru and then use a blank plate cover to mount what ever camera mount is desired.

 

At 7 feet you may have some wobble of the camera. So you will need to put a support bracket at an angle back up to the ceiling like a gusset.

 

You could use standard conduit EMT for this but depending upon the weight of the camera it could pull apart. That is why I suggested the threaded pipe.

 

Good luck.

If look look at PTZ pendant mount accessories you'll find what you are looking for. It's basically what Les just discribed but with holes in the pipe for wire entry/exit.

Yea, that is a good thought. Just drill a hole in the pipe and smooting the sharp edges.

 

OR

 

At the flange put a close nipple, then a Tee, then the rest of your pipe.

 

 

yup that will do it.

Thanks for your ideas on making my own mount.

 

But before doing that I´m going to be sure I can´t buy them ready-made.

 

I now have a picture of the exact mount I would want. I sure looks professionally made to me.

 

See attached picture.

 

So where can I get a bunch for myself?

If your meant to protect it from tampering, the cameras will still be high enough to be out of reach.

I have never seen the extension to bullet camera mount before.

 

It's not hard to use 2 flanges and a junction box with mini/armored dome.

One can argue for or against but on this installation the deterent effect is important so I´ll use a standard type camera. The customer also already as that type installed.

 

Dome too can be 'scary'/deterent but in some enviroments and against a general 'audience' I think they can become too 'invisible'.

The deterant effect is non-existant. People generally just tune them out after a while.

I guess I'm the only one who has a problem with them using a bullet mount and a box cam?

If so one could as well use 100% covert cameras and still get the same (lack of ) effect.

 

Some deterent effect I think there is, an effect that I feel is higher if the customer actively use the system to make as many people as possible aware that they risk getting busted. Of cause not everyone will be detered.

Describe your problem and I'll see if I can fix it.

Still need longer camera bracket/mount, but this one I already have access to. It´s 950 mm long (just over 3 feet):
