Clamp & articulating arm suggest for overhead photography rig












2














I’m in the process of building an overhead photography rig for food photography



I’ve got a single horizontal metal bar going across the long length of the table with the idea of clamping something similar to this on it with my camera hanging down. The problem I’m having is that I’m unable to find anyone who sells something similar to this Neewwer articulating arm which would take the weight/work with a ballhead, Nikon camera + lens (around 1.5kg total)



Does anyone have any other suggestions or know a brand which does this?

  • Are you intending on mounting the camera to the clamp arm through the hot shoe?

The Manfroto “Magic Arm” should work for you. It is much larger version of what you have shown, and it can handle loads up to about 6 lbs.



Each arm is about 10” long, and it is very easy to attach a Super Clamp or Quick Release Clamp to either end.

Accessing regular linux commands in Huawei's Dopra Linux

4 Backstory: I have a Huawei HG8245 router in my house and I want to change the default username/password. I've tried following this guide but the config file always gets reset. My ISP isn't helping either so I'm looking for other ways to accomplish this. The router has telnet access so this seems like a way to change the credentials. The first shell I gain access to looks like this: WAP> Pressing "?" gives me a list of available commands which I've pasted here, the two interesting ones are "su" and "shell". I can't seem to get su access, even after logging in as root (challenge password prompt, and then nothing happens), but shell gives me a proper linux shell.
