See attached photo. I have this FLIR, it has a 640 core however the display is really small and hard for me to see so I rarely use it. I have finally rigged up a little battery powered monitor and an analog to digital converter so I can run the thermal image on the display. Id like to set the entire thing up on a small ball head tripod and maybe mount the monitor / battery / converter onto one of the legs, or maybe get one of those articulating arms?

Both the FLIR and the monitor have tripod holes in the bottom. The converter requires a small amount of power, it can either be powered by drawing from the monitor's USB out, or I have discovered I can use a little battery / power hub to power it.

Would really like to be able to keep most of the stuff attached to the tripod so I can just grab the whole rig and strap it to my backpack.
