 This is the Video camera that I use for all mt G scale videos however it has one major drawback, it is no good for night filming.

(Incidentally I use the same camera for all my OO videos but on a different flat bed.)


After discussing the issue with Chris he came up with a solution.

I had to buy 2 small LED torches and he would do the rest.

Using the same flat bed wagon he set to work to deign a cradle. This is what he came up with, it took him about 20 minutes to design it and write the cad instruction. The 3D printing took over 13 hours. From my point of view time and effort well spent.

The torches and camera need to be removed to re-charge them and also to transfer the videos to my PC.

Well Done Chris.

It looks like something out of StarWars. You just need rocket engines on it now.
