Design, Fabrication & Manufacturing of Vehicle Camera Mount

CAD Design, Fabrication & Manufacture of Vehicle Camera Mount System.

We were approached by Guesser Images a wildlife photography company who required a custom vehicle camera mount which could be easily fitted onto the side of his Landrover Defender and work with their existing photography equipment. The specific requirements for the Vehicle Camera Mount System were that it would need to slide on rails, be compatible with the 100mm Dia. Camera ball mount system and carry 25Kg of camera and lens weight. The final and crucial requirement was that it would have to fit onto the drivers side door, enabling the camera to be operated with ease from within a precise vertical envelope for the window.

As the vehicle was going to Africa for this particular shoot, it was important that the design was tough, and could withstand high temperatures, dust. Additionally, it had to have parts that could be easily replaced or repaired from remote areas of the world should it be necessary.

Our Process

We completed the CAD modelling and drawing pack for the camera mount system and reviewed with our client to ensure that it was fit for purpose. With the designed off we then sourced all components which included; linear bearings and bearing rails, rail clamp, laser profiled and folded elements. After the parts arrived, they were thoroughly checked for quality and against mating components. The welding of the door-mount and brackets was completed as was the CNC machining of the final elements.

We conducted a full test of the equipment with the completed components for the clients final approval before items were sent for powder coating.

After we had received the items back from powder coating, we conducting a final assembly and inspection. The project was completed in good time for our clients scheduled trip to film in Africa.

Client Feedback

We have received very positive feedback from our client, below you can see their full report on how the equipment performed on location in Africa.

The device did its job very well in all the circumstances we faced. It was exactly to the right size and very stable, yet still manoeuvrable.

It provided very good support to the video head and the camera, even equipped with long and heavy lenses, and made a clear difference in the quality of the shooting we did this year.

So the objective was reached successfully. Thank you very much for manufacturing such a great device!

Not only was it a successful project, but it’s great to see how the Camera Mount System assisted Mr. Gesser in capturing some of these fantastic shots, check out his work here.

I contacted John about installing a serving hatch in my newly acquired horse trailer which I was looking to convert into my mobile catering unit for my Dutch mini pancake business and the result was truly beyond my expectations. The end result looks amazing and is exactly what I had envisaged it to look like. Throughout the process John was very helpful in giving me advice and providing suggestion and made the necessary adjustments to the design where we have requested these. I thoroughly enjoyed working with John and would recommend him to anybody. Guaranteed value for your money ,very professional and nice person to work with !

Great welding and fabrication service, we use Fresh fabs for all our tricky welding work. Best TIG welder we know, especially on aluminium and stainless steel. Attention to detail is first class and we can trust Jon to get the job done on time to the highest quality. Look forward to the next project.

The original chimney that came with the cooker hood was way too short. It was a small job which most companies wouldn’t be interested or their cost too high. Luckily I found Fresh Fabrications. They were great. The job was well priced and they produced a nice piece for me. The texture of the new chimney matched the rest of the hood and the angle of the cut at the top was spot on. They even took time to talk me though how best to mount it. I would happily recommend them.

Excellent quality repair to my alloy wheel. Very easy to deal with and gave an honest answer to questions and went through the stages of repair. Without hesitation I will be using Jon again for any welding work again. Very trust worthy and delivered the repair in a timely manor.

Met with John and described what I was after. He had no problem with what I wanted and was happy to make a start. Friendly and very professional all round, and the end result was of a very high quality of work. I would have had a lot more work done here in the past had I known. Highly recommend.
