[skylerhughesfilms]

@skatercrazy19 no problem thanks for the comment, a screw driver should do the trick

[freestylefilmsinc]

[matthewm04]

[skylerhughesfilms]

@matthewm04 that it is hah, it is a wide angle lens ordered through JVC website.

[theacademy763]

thanks for the vid. very helpful!

[nickybabesgoobspepez]

1:12- now you wanna put your nut on the other side and tighten it as tight as you can with your hand...LMFAO.........btw niceee vidd

[kuanjikoda]

Can this work with the flip Ultra HD?

[skylerhughesfilms]

@kuanjikoda yes if there is a tripod mount in the bottom

[kuanjikoda]

@kuanjikoda knowing how shaky the Flip can be when it comes to stability. Does this handle help stabilize it while moving?

[skylerhughesfilms]

@kuanjikoda im sure it would help, but a tripod would be best for your buck. the image stabilization in the flip is very weak.

[chrisskates1996]

thanks mate i just made mine now and works perfect i use it for fliming skateboarders and it works perfect!

[GarbagePancakes]

how do u SCREW it onto the camera

[lonewuf]

You screw it onto the tripod mount, And if you dont know what a tripod mount is i cant help you...

[jarrodfoy01]

the best by far

[StolenMikMak]

i made this and modified it just a tad. and it works amazing really sturdy and keeps video really smooth

[skylerhughesfilms]

glad it works. after testing it does need a little mod. depending on the camera.

[LiVeSk8N]

so where can u get the arm bar?

[skylerhughesfilms]

home depot or lowes, information is in the more info tab to the right.

[Coonstash]

made mine yesterday

[sk8r2ooo]

what other glue could i use

[skylerhughesfilms]

im sure there is a lot out there. cement glue, super glue, or a hot glue gun should get the job done. no promises though. hope this helped.

[sk8r2ooo]

thanks man

[Gr49EG]

thank god i watched this it helped me so much

[pivapeeeev]

dude ur my hero this works so well on my iphone camera

[nprules]

@pivapeeeev what?

[IceSkull770]

thats awesome man ! respect good job

[MikeyBasiloneSkates]

so you need twoo right arm bars right?? i just wanna make sure

[EyeJayyy]

does this work for EVERY camera ?

[skylerhughesfilms]

yeah it should work as long as you have a place to screw it into the bottom. almost all cameras have this and it is usually 1/4 inch screw that goes in it

[caspinio95]

Thank you !¨

I made one !

[imagenation5172k9]

will this work for a smx-f34

[robertsVA24]

sick

[MrPlumpkinproduction]

thanx man the handle works but some of your scerws and bolt measurments were wrong. but when i got everything on with my larger arm bracket it works out perfectly fine. props to you

[BlankBrandon]

wat kind of camera is that

[BigVee16]

dude you rule thanx for the info it's a 1/4 inch screws right?

[skylerhughesfilms]

yeah i have some troubles with the nylon spacer, a rubber washer or something similar would work better

[JordanHamalainenz]

Hey what kind of camera do you have and how much was it cause i am going to make a handle just like that and i want to buy that camera so yeah please respond to me

[skylerhughesfilms]

JVC GZ-HD7 in the vid it has a wide angle lens on it.i bought it for $1000 but im sure they dropped in price.

[Jabba2hav]

wait what was the frist item called

[skylerhughesfilms]

right arm bar? its a shelf bracket.

[lakaiisk8ter]

is it detachable?

[skylerhughesfilms]

yeah just screw it in and out

[PurelyGangsterRadio]

You should list all the supplies and the approximate cost of each you used in the video description to better help your viewers!

[fingerboarder8211997]

what store did you get to buy your stuff

[skylerhughesfilms]

home depot or lowes

[OgrAdaY]

how did you attach the camera cuz it looks like ur camera is 2 big just to screw on to the handle?

[skylerhughesfilms]

If you look at 4:21 it is attached to my camcorder with the screw through the bottom. Hope this helps.

[OgrAdaY]

yeah i know that its attached with the tripod place in the bottom, but did you just screw it on there? cuz it looks like if you just screwed the handle around the camera, that the camera would hit the handle when ur screwing it on.

[skylerhughesfilms]

yeah just screw it in the bottom with a screw driver

[OgrAdaY]

oh wow a screw driver...im retarded. lol thanks

[VinnyOwnZ]

what kind of camera is that that u put the handle on?

[skylerhughesfilms]

JVC GZ-HD7 with a wide angle lense

[skylerhughesfilms]

thanks guys im going to make another vid in the future doing an underwater housing system I think or a rain cape of some sort

[skyh0g]

This is the best tutorial yet, thanks bro

[pivapeeeev]

[liljohn797]
