Using a small video camera usually means putting up with a lot of shake. This little rig will help things a lot and doesn't cost very much.

  • That is an awesome idea!! I love the things you come up with for saving money and cool DIY projects. Never though of using those Wii controllers for a stabilizer. Really nice

  • @CharlesRiveracom Thanks Charles! I can't take all the credit. If James hadn't sent me that picture, this video wouldn't exist.

  • where do you get your ball-head joints from?

  • @mreedy02 I get mine from an eBay seller in China (check the description for a link). They are mostly metal (except for the tension knob) and should stand up to any small camera you can mount on it. They cost $5.80. I wish they were a little cheaper, but I've been happy with their performance.

  • Your voice is calming and your tips and how to items are great. Wish I could intern for you and learn more.

  • @mgmpresident Hey, thanks!

see all

  • This is a comment cuz you're generous.

    The previous commenter was correct --your voice has a strong and inexplicable calming effect. It just requires that you be taken seriously, even when you are not being that way.

  • I made one just like it. Works great. I used it for an iPhone and a small camera. This does not work on dslr lol. I tried it

  • Hey, you inspired me to make an iPhone tripod mount of my own. Check out my channel to see what I made. I think it would work well with this rig. thanks!

  • awesome! thank you!

  • is the mini stabilizer only available in china? the link shows one which is different from the one shown in this video? is the steering and mini ball head available here in US stores?

  • Many thanks for all your tips!!!

  • i like this intro better than the old one !

  • you look like a white Barack Obama, you should Do Parodies.

  • I LOVE THIS...!!! OMG!

  • we're looking to get a tripod of some sort, we currently dont know which camera we would be using yet though.
