made a video handle for my slr

[DnEhThEnD]

total money invested was $1.97 everything else was laying around in my garage










just added the grip


PS, i don't have a vice, I used a rock and a brick

might add a mount for a light

That's pretty awesome, was going to say add some sort of grip to the handle to make it more comfortable.

[Dr. Zaius]

Wrap the handle in the some bike tape or something. Holding that is going to get very annoying very quickly, it may even compromise a good shot.

[Matthew Shannon]

Good work man. would probably have been more comfortable to have a rounded part for where you hold it. But, either way that is fucking sick.

Im thinking about making a Glide Cam for my SLR camera that i don't have yet.. don't think it would be too hard.

What lens is that?

Built this a few weeks ago. This is the position for fisheye filming (worm's-eye). It also has a mount in the 'middle bar' so you can operate the flimsy camera more smoothly.
















It also protects the body a little bit if you decide to drop your camera...

I added a bike grip, it's much better now

I'm not sure the length of the metal I used but I used all of it

lens is Tamron 17-50 2.8 DiII SP with no image stabilizer

the key is the gimbal.
for skating, you might just wanna buy a used monopod, hang that shit upside down, and flip it in post. smooths things out as well as most home-made stabilizers and lets you get nice and low.
