  • Fantastic idea, espesh as I have a tripod with parts that don't come off. But where along the tripod did you hold it for such smooth shots?

  • @fkfj16 Hey. I've added an annotation to the video and I marked where you should hold it. Use your mouse to find it at 0:25 somewhere under camera, it's not very visible for some reason. I hope it helped.

  • WHat song is this?

  • @lopsideful The song is "Carl Thomas - My First Love (Instrumental)" produced by Just Blaze.

  • i find that the weights you used would be rather cumbersome. i once did the same with my tripod, but i used fishing weights strapped to the feet of the tripod legs, and kept the legs closed together, so as not to hinder my movements. that way, i didn't have to hold out my arm so far away from my body. but, hey, for free? you can't beat free. i do like using my poor man's steady cam instead, however. it only cost me $12 to construct. granted, i used my friend's tools.

  • @thaiguysabu You are kinda right. I literally used first heavy things I saw and was easy to attach and detach :-) It really can be anything you find.

    Thank you for your reply.

  • I tried to put one of these together with much inevitable frustration. Luckily i stumbled upon the Cam Caddie Scorpion, I've captured some great shots since i received this nifty camera stabilizer. it can also hold lights and mics I highly recommend it!
