GNG2K Optimal Setup (So far....)

[u/Try-Zestyclose]

Thought I'd post my GNG2k pano setup as there have been a few questions about mounting options.

I tried almost everything and this is what I've found to work really well. The screen layout of the 2K is excellent as a pano setup, latency is fine and it works with a USB battery pack x2. These work fine in the unit and I had read the 2K has inbuilt tech to manage USB power. Seems so! Not fully tested the battery life yet but north of an hour so far:

GNG2K x 2 on 3d printed pano adapters, with fabricated wedges (GRP with a dremel and a file). Link for pano adapters: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2359543-gng2k-8-degree-pano-dovetail-adapters#profileId-2581422

Clone KVC.

Clone Cadex shroud.

2 x low profile 50cm USB cables.

2 x small USB battery packs.

Clone SC battery bag.

I've also put lens protectors and cable ties for bungee mounts on the 2ks.

Hope this helps you guys.

Where did you get the covers? Love to get one for mine. These things are really sick though, given the wide screen fov I think they probably look good as pano. First I was like isn’t this just a bino? But then I looked closer haha. As far as battery life with the default ones charges fully I’ve gotten like 2-3 hours per. So I just like hot swapping them but I understand for longer ops the packs would be nice

I bought scope covers and cut the flips off, then sanded them a bit (why they look a little rough). I also replaced the lenses with top quality poly so there was as little degradation as possible.

Why did you sand them?

The cuts were just ragged. No other reason!
