Question 1

Would this be appropriate for overhead shooting of artwork on a tabletop?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.

Question 2

future buyer-  1 is there a way to add a wall mount? 2 what spring would you recommend to increase the weight limit?

Accepted Answer

1. Wall Mounts can be found under Amazon ASIN# B0018TAIQI  or search "Vertical Surface Mount" - 2. As far as springs, We do NOT recommend nor guarantee ANY customer spring modifications for increasing load capacity. It is designed and intended for 2lb max. If one were still attempting to modify their device at outside of recommended use and at their own financial risk. They would look to their Grainger Supplier or similar for 1/2 inch diameter springs between 4" or 5" inch length depending on how much increase is needed. With specifications similar to Grainger spring item #1NAE4. HOWEVER The above description is with an under 2lb intended use. Flexibility and articulation is as is with the current springs. Altering the device alters its function and voids any returns/refunds/warranties.

Question 3

I am looking for a way to hold my flir e8 thermal imaging camera, is there any extra attachments that would possibly work

Accepted Answer

Yes, it would be a custom fit on your part but there are strap mounts available on amazon that can enable you to attach your Flir e8, (look up under ASIN B00B1YBVGG and also view the similar. Choose one that will fit around your e8's handle and that has a 1/4" female or male standard bolt connection.) Also if you google images under "e8 tripod mount" you can see examples of how others have achieved the desired result. You can then attach the strap mount to the Heron Arm's C bracket which has 1/4" female and male reversible threaded bolt connector. Be sure your accessories do not exceed the 2lb's weight threshold. If you need any further assistance please come back and let us know. Cheers!

Question 4

Would this be able to hold a dslr with a lens in place?

Accepted Answer

It really just depends on the type of lens and camera you are using. They both come in all sizes and weights. The best way to know is to weigh your equipment. The arm can secure up to 2lb's. You can check common camera and lens weights here upstrap-pro.com/camera-weights.html
