The installed motor for my vibrating DOF adapter

The installed pancake motor. It's fixed with hot glue and connected to the external controller box

Finally, a pancake motor for my 35mm adapter

I found an old Motorola pager in the trash and I took the vibrating motor out
Now my static DOF adapter will shortly be a vibrating DOF adapter

My Rod Support

I used two aluminium tubes with 12mm diameter and +- 50cm length













tube clamps














I fixed the tube clamps on a PVC board but you could use wood too.
The hole on the left is for fixing the camera












The same PVC board from the other side














Slide the two tubes in the tube clamps and fix them













A smaller PVC board with a 6mm hole to fix the tripod













Fix the second board upside down on the tubes














This screw came from a small 3$ table tripod














Fixing the cam
Between the tube clamps I used 8mm nuts to set the pvc board higher and to set the cam in line with my 35mm adapter











The mounting plate from the tripod













The cam on my rod support.
Now I can connect the 35mm adapter without problems. It's stable and no chance to damage the camera
