[geofferzh79]

i like it! good bit of engineering there mate

[naxps]

Good god, for the price that is beautiful.

[MortallicA91]

can you move it outside? is it breakable?

[Physicsduck]

On a smooth surface yes, but it was designed for use in the studio. And it can be easily disassembled into it's component pieces for transport.

[MortallicA91]

@Physicsduck

hehe fast response :D

so it's very good and cheap especially for a studio...

although i'm going to be in summer a cheap one

@MortallicA91 If you roll it outdoors, yes. If you drop it, yes.

[doyouwantahotpocket]

Thats a great setup

[v8media]

Very nice.  I really need to get myself some more industrial shop space. Great find on the old tv pedestal!

[morto00x]

The reason why real cranes are so expensive is because they are designed to carry much heavier cameras (and even a cameraman on it) so they require more and better materials, plus professional cranes are usually remote controlled rather than having 3 dudes trying to move the pieces at the rght time

[teknokracy]

But what does the footage look like from the camera? There's a reason why real cranes are so expensive (and cheap to rent, actually).

[DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

shame you didn't build your own steady cam

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful.
