what adjusts the camera level when you go up and down, and what starts and stops the recording?

[theclashbat]

like if you arent acc. gonna make one of these just REALLLLLLLLY want to :D

@mrmartyman7 1. Usually the audio is recorded externally. 2. Either start and stop when the camera is near the ground, or use a wired/ir remote (many consumer cameras come with these)

Thanks guys for a diy that you actually can build at low cost. I won't even name another vid that claims this yet put up no plans, and then offers to sell you one for the cost of a low end professional rig. Heck why would I be looking at diy if I had $1500+ dollars to spend?

why not run the wires through the rods?? that might cut down the amount of wires you have!
