Advice for tenting a Ferris Sweep?

Hi! I'm going to be building a Ferris Sweep soon. I was curious if anyone has experience with tenting one of these things. It's compatible with splitkb's tenting puck, but having a camera tripod on my desk seems like it would be ridiculously tall, meaning I'd need to adjust my desk and monitor in an unreasonable way. I'd like for my legs to be able to fit under the desk.

I've seen some 3d printed tented cases, does anyone have experience with that?

  • There are some low profile tripod stands. the manfrotto MP3-BK is nice, but pretty expensive. There are also a bunch of "Z Tripods" that get used a lot.

    A 3d printed case for tenting is definitely an option, but it can take a while to find the right tenting angle so be prepared to possible print multiple variations.

  • @no_priority I've seen people recommend Manfrotto pocket tripods, maybe those could work for you?
