Geoff and Matt thanks for the feedback, I'd not put a lot of thought into things that go bump in the night which I should have. John is correct it've gone with the machine screw option and nuts on the back (by habit ). I don'tlike normal screws in chipboard. I've just been in and played with it. I have enough flew in it to handle moderate shaking and if I pull hard enough in the right direction I tip the mount (hopefully I'm unlikely to get a bump like that in real life). For most bumps I assume I'll just take the scope off target.
The height of the stalk is governed by the encoder leads. I do have a second longer set of leads I got for a horseshoe mount I'm trying to build. I considered using them but I'm then stuck with one lead with a lot of slack in it. If the height becomes an issue I'll have to ask Gary Kopff about options for an encoder lead set with one lead longer than the other.
Matt thanks for the photo of your setup. I'll be keen to see what you do with the cam when you get that done.
Bob
