DIY FOLDABLE STEADICAM + SONY WX7

To be able to carry with me my little pocket camera and take some clean vibration-free videos, is a demand and a challenge, for me. So I designed this small fold able and easy carry able, steadicam. All of the components are every day use materials (except TRAXXAS Ujoint ) or crafted by me. This design will followed by a bigger one project (for heavier camera), in the next period of time, with the same features. All videos taken in 1080i, some MP4 and some AVCHD. Music tune is from the movie MIDNIGHT EXPRESS, composed by Giorgio Moroder, back in 1978, i think!!.

congratulations, well done.

maybe need study a mode to stabilize the up down movement like a steadycam joined to the body, i believe will be fine. Maybe a group of springs.

@italovalerio There was an issue of horizontal vibration. This is caused by some loose of the joint ball of the Traxxas u-joint and I have solved it by heating (in hot water) then pressing and freezing it.
