Anybody know of any camera mounts that would allow you to mount a DSLR camera and share the same focal point as a total station or laser scanner?

I found this one, but thought someone who has used this setup in their work flow may have some good suggestions.

I have Nodal Ninjas in the past with scanners.
They are pretty high quality and dependable.

I second the Nodal Ninjas.

It is a great help in the office to have a complete panoramic from the instrument set up.

It's impossible to share a focal point with two different devices at the same time. The focal point is always spatially within the device. You can find a way to capture an image from the scope of the Total Station. If you're going to remove the TS and then set up the camera, you could probably use some regular camera rigging attached to a tribrach adapter. Manfrotto makes some rather versatile camera mounts.
