Hi
I wanted to share my Hot Shoe mod with you guys.
First of all Flir LS64 Has VIDEO OUTPUT and below are video pins (+) and (-)
Since I suck at electronics, I went to my local electronics shop to make a Hot Shoe for my Flir LS64 .
We have combined my ideas with his ideas and his knowledge and this is what we came up with.....
First , The Structure
Flir LS64 has some click points where a fixed structure would just click in and it gets connected the Flir LS64. All you have to do is to slide the structure towards the front of the LS64.
So my electronics guy made this structure which just clicks in to LS64 just by sliding . You can see the structure on the above picture.
Second, Electronics
We made the electronics circuit board as seen on the picture,
Third, assembling things together .
This guy put some Hot Silicon (as we say it ) to assemble everything together. The at the end we had a very strong structure.
Then he was gonna make a Plastic Mould for this , but the plastic mould guy asked for too much money so we gave up the plastic Mould idea and put some more hot silicon over .
Now because we only used Hot Silicon, the surface is NOT even, don't worry about this because at the end I will cover it with something like this to hide these uneven surfaces.
Now I have a structure that fits exactly underneath the LS64
We also added a Screw kind of lock to secure the Hot Shoe under my LS64 till I don't want it there anymore.
As you can see the Hot Show now fits exactly underneath the LS64, it just clicks there and stays there, on top of this as a security, I have a nut that I can tighten (A Nut, same size as the Tripod Screw)
VIDEO OUT JACK
To make the Hot Shoe thin enough , we used a 3.5mm Video Out jacket , a female jacket soldered inside the Hot Shoe and as you can see the HOT SHOE is so thin, maybe I do not even have to take it out when I don't use it.
Another picture here:
NOW ALL I HAVE TO DO IS TO COVER THE OUTSIDE SURFACE WITH SOME COVER MATERIAL. Then I will have a decent look on outside surface of the hot shoe.
This Hot Shoe is so thin , I think I will leave it on the LS64 all the time, when I need to VIDEO OUT some video, just insert the Male 3.5mm jack cable to my LS64 and start recording.
When I have the time, I will post some pictures after covering the surface with some cover material ......
Enjoy
