BUILT A STEADY CAM RIG FOR VIDEO CAMCORDER. EASY PEASY.
Posted by Alfie the Cat on Nov 26, 2012 in BLOG | 0 commentsHey, so this is not going to replace a super fancy steady cam rig of any sort, but this works well to minimize some jarring movements. I found the how to on the web and it was easy and cheap to build $10 max I bet plus hockey tape cost. Anyway the three grip points allow you to spread out how the camera is held and it can be moved more gently. I think it works just fine. A steady cam rig that is on a pivot might be better, but am I the ONLY ONE who always wants to be tilting a shot up or down… all the time… those kind of rigs do not do that so well it seems.
Here are a few wee snappity snap shots… You will see from the first draft that I lowered the overall height.
