Camera Crane DIY

[HVdrumr]

Could you build one for a large shoulder mounted cam like the sony HXR-mc2000u

[brucefloyd]

@HVdrumr This one will work just fine for the sony HXR-200u.

Camera whieght is 5.6 lbs. Motion control head can hold up to 12lbs.

I finished the jib with a nice coat of flat black paint. a battery box and a varizoom MC-50 control head works great.

@EarleVisionPRO Hello picked it up at B&H Photo. also picked up a Sennheiser wireless unit that is just awsome ew-100. G3 Thanks for asking.

how much were the DVD players at wal-mart? im making a jib like yours and the ones online are between $189 and $500

[brucefloyd]

Hello the DVD players were 199.00 for 2

Venturer brand 8" screen..

yesterday I cut the boom down to five foot.

for smaller area. and I went with a 6"

lazy susan for better stability got rid of the 4" one. Thanks for the question good luck

on your Jib.

[mechanicojoe]

ok cool, thats really good for two screens, i guess if you made a homemade steadicam you could use the other screen!

[brucefloyd]

That or if one breaks down.

[stuffulater]

awesome jib, but seems a little spendy for a DIY, i think for all the features and for the cost it took for you to build it, you could have just bought one

[brucefloyd]

After looking up some Jibs I still came out way under budget for what I built.

I had fun building it to my specs.

and the coast for a 10ft. boom w/ monitor,

zoom control: $250.00 not bad eh.

thanks for the feedback.
