Amen Brother! Just build it once.

Thanks for your in-depth comment. It wasn't too much work (I like taking stuff apart) and the end result is something that looks professional, is very stable and will have a long service life. I am very familiar with the interior of packaged electronics, but I didn't want to place undue stress on the plastic housing. Stress cracks and / or deformation panel stress caused by a non-engineered bracket and it's associated torqued hardware, could occur. Whenever possible I like to use the intact, originally engineered assembly.I chose to 180-degree the arms purely for aesthetics. You could simply leave the arms alone and mount the aluminum tube below the monitors with the three arms protruding upward from it's top face. But that wouldn't look clean and I'd have to thrust the 32" monitor...

But that wouldn't look clean and I'd have to thrust the 32" monitor away from the wall to maintain the ergonomics.What can I say, I go overboard when doing something because the work makes a statement about who I am.Thanks again for the comment - Have a great Day

Hi, I'm still a noob. I'm working with Autodesk Recap but I want to try Photoscan too. I'm presently constructing a MMO flight simulator device for a contest entry. It's taking all my time so I haven't uploaded a completed application using this tool. I will upload an update in a few weeks. Talking about Photogrammetry, it looks like someone would actually attach a digital encoder to a turntable and an encoder to a camera mount arm that could be adjusted to pivot at the model's center. Which would keep a fixed lens camera at a fixed distance from model center. Then the encoded XYZ position could be linked to each camera shot and dramatically improve the Autonomous ability of software. The software could even identify areas that it can't map and suggest XYZ camera positions to capture th...

Then the encoded XYZ position could be linked to each camera shot and dramatically improve the Autonomous ability of software. The software could even identify areas that it can't map and suggest XYZ camera positions to capture these. The same principal could be applied to drones by adding two tripod mounted, low watt transceivers to the acreage being scanned or accessing existing VORTAC stations. These could triangulate Drone XYZ position / altitude, and encode that info with the drone's on-board camera pitch / azimuth encode info. Add an AI flight control positioning system and Google Earth goes HD. Just a thought from a noob. They might be doing it already, and I'm still behind the power curve.Thanks again for the comment - have a great day.

Thank you. I always like learning new things.Is jewelers pitch a lot stronger than hot glue? Does cutting facets produce much heat or torque on the stone during the cutting process? Thanks ahead of time.

I figured it out :)
