| The PERFECT HORIZON can be mounted in multiple ways. Following you will find examples, how you can use it and ideas to give you a perfect stable shoot. Where ever you have to stabilize your camera here a three categories, water, land or special based applications where the PERFECT HORIZON will be implemented. | 
Example 1:
You can mount the PERFECT HORIZON on a regular tripod or "baby legs" with a Mitchell mount. Mount the PERFECT HORIZON on the tripod and the fluid head on top of the Perfect Horizon.
| The tripod must be firmly mounted to the boat or vehicle. On boats we usually put down a 4' x 4' sheet of 1" or thicker plywood to protect the boat deck and give a strong firm mounting surface. (3/4" plywood bends and is not acceptable.) Secure the tripod with ratchet straps or grip chain to eye bolts that are attached to the plywood.
 Example 2: You can mount the PERFECT HORIZON directly on a Hi-Hat which is then secured to the deck, vehicle or pier as seen in the photo. |
Example 3:
There are many possibilities for mounting on small water crafts like jet skis and jet boats as well as dinghies.

It is important to keep the Center of Gravity low (Photo left). Using a low profile fluid head and rear mounting the film magazines will give better results. Centrifugal forces increase when vehicles turn, so keeping the weight and CG low is more important the faster and harder the anticipated turning. |

| Example 4:
The PERFECT HORIZON is easily mounted on any insert car and provides a excellent stabilization for any plate shoots or car commercial to create a dynamic scene. 
Example 5: (Photo left)
The PERFECT HORIZON works create on flat bed of a pickup truck. If you like to shoot on gravel road or on off road areas the PERFECT HORIZON may significantly reduce, but not completely eliminate high frequency vibrations caused by engines, helicopter rotors or sudden shocks.
These vibrations can be reduced using foam, rubber pads, small inner tubes or vibration reducing devices. These vibration dampers are used underneath a 1” plywood base on which the tripod and PERFECT HORIZON are affixed. Please allow sufficient set-up time.
Example 6: (Photos below)
There is a great use for running and stopping shoots, being quick and flexible. Golf cards are great for eliminating dolly tracks and for a fast production schedule.

| Example 7:
The PERFECT HORIZON can be use with different kinds of remote head systems in regular or under slung version used on cranes. 
The versatility is endless the PERFECT HORIZON is mounted on a snowmobile with a Sparrow Head
