Scissors platform - Know where to find source?

Translate This Thread From English to

Threaded View
I'm trying to locate a scissors platform that extends up to at least 2 feet
in height, but collapse to under 4 inches. Something like a lab jack (see

http://www.labdepotinc.com/files/products/Supplies/35080lg.jpg  ) It only
needs to hold a pound on the platform. Might you know where I can find such
a component?

Any reason you can't put a motor on a lab jack?

Because I'm not trying to create a robotic device.  I'm trying to jury-rig a
method of manually raising and lowering a camera inside an automobile,
mounting the device to the center console.

You can combine two of those to get the desired height, or you can
simply build one yourself with a handfull of screws and some cheap tubing.

Have you considered a Manfrotto articulated camera mount 196B-2 or 2929 or
2930 with a clamp mount 2915?  Very versatile combination.  Should be able
to find _something_ to clamp it onto.  If not, Manfrotto also has various
purpose-made automotive mounts.
