I have a need to mount as many as 16 to 24 cameras on a pole in a circular array. I recall seeing somewhere, may or may not have been on IPVM, where someone made a custom mount for a pseudo-panoramic camera system (maybe Google?) but can't recall where I saw it. If you can't imagine what I am describing, think of tall light poles along a highway or in a parking lot where the fixture lowers for servicing. Any thoughts, or am I having a senior moment?
How To Mount Multiple Cameras On A Pole In A Circular Array
I remember seeing an 8 camera bracket that was hung pendent style from a ceiling, but it didn't raise/lower for service. I'll try to find the picture and link and post here.
24 cameras?! Holy smokes! Each camera would have a 15 degree FoV with no overlap!
Thanks Brian, I am not sure of the client will want it to lower, or if we'll just use a bucket truck to service since it'll only be about 20' off the ground. I was just using the light pole example as a reference.
And I thought no one even cared.
That is the exact picture I recall seeing - thanks! Any thoughts on who may have done the custom fabrication? I do not plan on using GoPro cameras ;-)
