<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collect89, post: 1717476, member: 15445&quot;]I’ve been considering the need to move the coin in front of the camera without holding the coin in your hand.&nbsp; We all know the potential problems associated with holding the coin by hand.&nbsp; It is difficult to keep the focus distance constant while keeping the coin at the center of the camera’s field of view.&nbsp; You can also drop the coin or otherwise damage it by this handling.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Initially, I looked into the 3D rockers that are used in liquid chemistry applications.&nbsp; These medical chemistry rocker machines could rock &amp; roll the coin around in front of the camera.&nbsp; Unfortunately, the medical rocker machines are very expensive and I couldn’t find a cheap one on the used equipment market.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is what I came up with using a Vinyl record turntable and a disc &amp; some duct tape.&nbsp; This apparatus automatically rocks &amp; rolls the coin enabling you to hands-free record a video of the coin nicely centered in the camera’s field of view.</p><p><br /></p><p>Continued....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
