Shoulder lamp question??

Hi everyone,
I’ve just managed to get a couple of bits to make a real parts shoulder lamp, unfortunately I don’t have access to my hard drive or dvds at the mo but have been trying to get some images online etc for reference.
I was just wondering if anyone has seen what looks like a BDU cover for the shoulder lamp? I will attach a pic below but unless my eyes are playing tricks on me it’s something I haven’t seen before.
Thanks

Agh interesting!! Maybe given me a idea to make something tho. I may add a sort or cover to mine as it could tie in with the helmet cover and BDU etc. Thanks

The arm is still a work in progress, my farther in law is an engineer and can make anything out of metal so I have given him the parts from a replica one I have and will see what he comes up with, will keep you posted.

I had always thought the arm might have come from a microphone boom pole.
(The type you always see film crews holding over their head)

* These are modern versions of boom pole brackets.

I am waiting on parts but once i get everything working I will have another youtube put up of how to setup and install the lamp on any armor on a spat cave kit.

I did one for myself on shapeways. I just made it public. I know shapeways is a little pricey but it was the best way for me to get one myself. https://www.shapeways.com/shops/mike-s-models

Just an FYI, The SU arms are mostly plastic. The long tubing is the only metal part. The lamp is attached to a 1/4-20 stud, then inserted into the tubing.

It's quite a bit smaller than that but you're probably on the right track. It could be some item of photographic or grip equipment like an umbrella/reflector holder. This one isn't it of course but there are similarities. Attachment: Clamp.jpg [ 54.49 KiB \| Viewed 2333 times ] Harry

Way... way back, for a short while, I thought it might have been constructed from pieces of an adjustable flag holder. Attachment: flag.jpg [ 68.1 KiB \| Viewed 2315 times ] But quickly found they are too large. Then started thinking smaller ... like boom poles. The photo you just posted seems interesting Because, that little silver piece, looks a lot like the bottom of this screen used lamp, which has been posted in the past.

That's a spigot, which is used in film and TV to mount lights to stands. Harry
