High Speed Shutter Support System

Shutter Support System Overview

The shutter support system gives you an easy way to use the high speed shutter while keeping everything portable. The shutter support holds the High Speed Shutter and a Li-Ion Battery Pack all so it can be mounted on a tripod. As you can see from the image above it also has an Arca-Swiss compatible dovetailed base so the Controller Carrier Kit can be clamped on to hold your StopShot controller. This is the same bracket system used to hold the high speed shutter on the Insect Rig. We have taken a modular approach to the shutter support and insect rig.

The images above shows the high speed shutter mounted on a variety of lenses showing the flexibility of the support. The images show the old version of the shutter with its separate controller, the new V2 version of the high speed shutter can be seen below with a 5200 mAHr battery. The riser plate on the shutter support can be rotated to accommodate a wide variety of camera bodies and lenses. It can be used with lenses that have collars or those that do not.

The Shutter Support system can be mounted to your tripod in a couple of different ways. It has an Arca-Swiss compatible dovetail machined into it so you can just clamp onto it with your current Arca Compatible clamp. See the image above left, for an example, you can just see the top of the ball head the clamp mounts to. It also has several 1/4-20 threaded holes so if you can attach your tripod plate (see image above right).

Just like the tripod mounts above the camera can be mounted in a couple of different ways as well. You can mount an Arca Clamp to the dovetailed base. See the image on the left. Or not, see the image on the right.
