Hello,

I built myself a trim system for my Nautical Nikon Z8 housing. It consists out of two aluminum profiles and a few amazon aluminum cheese plates. The goal is to have neutral rig with adjustable trim (with small weights on a sled), so I can do some tilted shots against the sun and so on. The profiles are that long on the rear end, because of the 6inch monitor, so I have enough space to mount ist perfectly for alle my needs. An additional benefit is that I can put my camera down, without the hazard of scratching the housing. There is a rubber boot at the bottom of the profile. The products you can buy are too expensive and sometimes too small. I tried to keep everything as close to the housing as possible to mimic a bigger cine housing. What do you think?

Wow, that looks very nice! I'm really curious as to how it will handle, especially with the photo-style flexitray handles close to port.

Do you mind linking to the material you've used, and the weight system that plan on using for trim?

cheers

Beautiful work. I am looking forward to hearing how it works once you get it in the water.

I am toying with ideas on how to mount my monitor. I looked at the Nauticam PN 17951 but they don't seem to have a version for the SmallHD monitor that I have, so I think that I will have to come up with my own. Right now, I am using a ball mount in the threaded hole at the right front, but it tends to loosen up, and isn't in a great spot.
