DIY DSLR Shoulder Rig

[picklecatcus]

I don't get it, you can spend $700+ on a camera but not $300 or more on a shoulder rig, there are plenty on amazon for very affordable prices

[SolarMechanic]

@picklecatcus Great idea. Then maybe I can hire Micheel Gondry to film all my stuff since after spending some money I must obviously have ALL THE MONEY!

[picklecatcus]

@SolarMechanic I meant no harm by it, your rig looks good.. Meant it more of a question but it seems to have come off as a insult.. My apologies.

Great design. Here's another good one watch?v=RdS0EtmhFz4

Your rig looks real nice. Any plans for counter weights? Thanks for sharing.

This is sick! I like the lightweight design aspects. What do you think of using a similar setup for a light miniDV camera like the DVX100B?

Where did you get the bike grips?

[robdeula]

what are the name of pluming clamps that you used

[robdeula]

your design is the best one iv seen what are the names of the pluming clamps

[biernatphoto]

Very Nice DIY... I would suggest to add a counterweight to the back of the rig.. and offset the rig to the right side so it takes the stress away from your right hand/arm.. so its easier to control and stabilize your rig

Great job.

Looks awesome

Hey,

really great work. What I really would like to know is the length of the rails (copper pipes)?

Thx.

I found a great follow focus DIY trick from a guy. watch?v=WCpdUH2bweI

You are welcome :)

Thanks for sharing your rig with us..

Hey, I'm making my own based on this design at the moment. Finding t hard to get brackets with holes 60mm apart. Looks like i'll have to make my own. Anyway, what i was really wondering was if in the time since posting this video you had actually gone out and made your matte box and follow focus as they are next on my list and would be interested to see your results if you have.

Good stuff though! Like the design!

Good job mate. Where did you get those clamps from ? What are they originally used for ? Thanks

[SolarMechanic]

@jmarcinho I got the clamps in the same place as the copper pipes, in the plumbing section of my local B&Q. They were available in the same sizes as the pipes, so mine were 15mm.

@SolarMechanic I wish I could find these clamps... our local Home depot and Lowes don't appear to have them. If possible, next time you are in your local Hom depot, could you please ask what the name, or model number is? Thanks!

[robblac]

some good ideas there mate, well done.

[mogulkey]

could i buy one?
