Camera crane tutorial

This is the camera crane I built with materials from Menards and Home Depot. I estimated the cost to be under $200 (I didn't really keep track of all the costs). I filmed this with my Panasonic HMC150.

Thanks Jon! I actually work at Medieval Times and they wanted to make a little promo video so they asked me.

Thanks for this awesome tutorial, respect, it's a very nice crane! I'm building one on my own, too.. Thanks for the tipp with the distance of the plattform leveling system, I asked myself just the same question... :D Greetings from Switzerland!

Great crane and innovative use of materials. Your test shots are nice and smooth too. Did you need to get permission to shoot at Medieval Times? Anyway, well done!
