Someone at the TAW club meeting the other night had a print out of how to make the new aluminum boom arm that moves in all directions. I can't seem to find info on that on the website. I will try to find out who that was and contact him but thought I should be able to find it somewhere on the website because I would like to print it out.
It also had a 7" monitor that would take an RCA input. I want one of those. I tried ordering one but obviously picked the wrong one because it came with a DIN plug to go to the back up camera and did not have a place for input.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If it wasn't so late I'd just call the AAW headquarters.
 
John, pickup a monitor for retrofitting a backup camera to an old car. You can find on Amazon or eBay for about $30 for a 7". I use on as a remoter viewfinder for my camcorder when I do my woodturning videos for my channel. The one I got used an RCA jack or I easily added one, can't remember. They are also used for those Trent Bosch style hollowing rigs.
 
That was exactly what I'm looking for. Mike I bought a monitor and was way less than what he suggested. At first I didn't think it would work with my camera that I bought but after looking it all over it appears that it might if I buy a BC to RCA adaptor and rig up a 12v power supply to both the camera and monitor. I'll let everyone know when I get it done.
Thanks for the rapid response. I doubt the AAW wanted to be out of bed this early. :)
