Anyone else think he looks like Chuck?

Just realized, this would be perfect for mounting a Zoom H4n or H1 to a boom pole.

Hey Im a new subscriber and love your designs. I've been hunting all over youtube for a "DIY Shoe" to mount a shotgun mic or a small light to. I've been engineering my own fig rig for about a week now and don't wanna start construction until I know that there is an easy to mount a shotgun or light with the shoe mounts. (Note: the camera does NOT have a shoe on it. I'm Shooting mainly with the GoPro HERO, but in the future other cameras will be added to that list) Thanks for your time - Jack

Bravo !!!

[frequencysteve]

All your videos are super! They've helped me a ton! I've recently used a combination of your ideas and others' to make some pretty cool DIY stuff! So thanks! BTW - Are you in Utah? Cuz that's where I am. I noticed on a couple of clips you've used... Just curious. :)

[thefrugalfilmmaker]

@frequencysteve Hey thanks! I'm glad you find the channel worthwhile. I am in Utah, but only for another 3 weeks...

[Legodude349]

This is brilliant! This is exactly what I was thinking about the other day when I was figuring out what to do for my jib arm. Thanks!

[timohteatime]

Where did your wife get the monitor from?

[thefrugalfilmmaker]

@timohteatime It was an incentive from a local store to come in and register for a big screen TV giveaway. If you registered, you were elidgible to buy the $10 portable model.

[OsoTrue]

@thefrugalfilmmaker this was an EXCELLENT bargain, I can't find this monitor ANYWHERE for 10 bucks.

[zhatdude]

Sorry for so many questions, but can you tell me the specific rubber tip you used? I went back and forth to Lowe's to get the rubber tip and I keep getting the wrong ones. Can you tell me the diameter for the inside? Or whatever is on the packaging? The one I got now turned out to be plastic and I will be returning it. So yes, can you please tell me the diameter that is indicated on the packaging? BTW, I have softtouch brand tips.

Thank You!

of course there's no dislikes on this video, this guy is a genius!

What thread is your 3/8" bolt?

[thefrugalfilmmaker]

@zhatdude You mean coarse or fine?  Pretty sure it's a coarse thread.

[zhatdude]

@thefrugalfilmmaker I'm not sure, because the 1/4" bolts that we use for our cameras have a "20" thread. So, I was just wondering if this had a certain thread as well. But I'll be heading to lowe's today to get these things and I'll keep the coarse thread in mind. Also, I ordered the same clamp but on the picture it didn't come with that bolt that you have not with the knob. The one on top of the main part of the c bar with the lock washer. So, I guess I'll get a 3/8 lock washer or two.

Thanks!

You're my hero.

[tallguytrav]

Do you think you could make a cheap soft box?

[rcalzadilla]

Thanks so much for sharing. It's so noble of you to do so.

I may sound silly but no, I am very serious.

[thefrugalfilmmaker]

@rcalzadilla Well, thanks!

[skinVISIBLE]

Whooop!!! Frugal fim maker is back!!! =)

[bohibo]

follow focos for hf s10/100 ect?

[rojoque]

This is awesome :)

[StimpyJackal]

That looks awesome. How does the mini-ball head handle as an add-on for a very cheap tripod?

[thefrugalfilmmaker]

@StimpyJackal Not sure I understand your question. The mini ball head handles fine. On a very cheap tripod, the weight of the clamp might be an issue, not to mention the crushing torque that might dent a tripod leg.

[StimpyJackal]

@thefrugalfilmmaker The question was unrelated to the c-clamp so sorry for that. Was just wondering whether a cheap ball head + cheap tripod could be better for fluid pans than the cheap tripod + grease.

[thefrugalfilmmaker]

@StimpyJackal Aha! I would say no. When loose, the mini ball head moves in every direction. I'm not sure how you would control that for a smooth pan or tilt.

[killacam44]

where did you purchase the monitor from?



[thefrugalfilmmaker]

@killacam44 My wife picked it up at a local RC Willey. They were having a contest for a big screen TV. If you registered for the giveaway, you could get one of these little TVs for $10.

[AdamIvyTV]

Another great video. Thank you!

[cratedigger89]

Great idea, Scott!!

[wakaphwap]

whare can i get the coby monitering system from amazon? ebay?

[JordanCrowderFilms]

@wakaphwap That's what I wanna know!

[thefrugalfilmmaker]

@wakaphwap You can't get one of those monitors online for that price (that I know of). My wife got it at a local retailer as part of a contest registration for a widescreen TV.
