DIY DSLR Rig Glider Combo

Here's how I made my own DSLR rig out of PVC pipes and a bunch of random parts PLUS added a smooth glider feature onto the rig! If you're into making your own DSLR accessories then you'll want to take note of what went into this custom rig/glider set up. I will save you $1300 or more by using this design! Don't spend a fortune on some yuppy rig, build your own baby!

I am making one next weekend (wot with school and all that) and I'll post on my blog and send you the link so you can have a look. I might even post a how-to video)

[pumthuggee]

@TheAlexForey I def want to see it

[OneTechCorruptions]

I ended up buying this pistol grip (with levels!) tiny. cc/gwdmn Hopefully that works, will let you know.

[pumthuggee]

@OneTechCorruptions What was that link? Can you post to my channel?

[pumthuggee]

@TheAlexForey Oh man I don't remember- It wasn't on Amazon but it was called the "lilliput". It's on lilliputweb

[TheAlexForey]

@pumthuggee Could you give me the link to where you got yours?

[Swurph]

@pumthuggee Just type in "tiny(dot)cc/gwdmn" and you will be redirected to amazon.

[pumthuggee]

@OneTechCorruptions Hey- thanks- Are you talking about the center slider thing- that the camera bolts onto? Because that is made of 2 T's with a small 1" or so piece in between that you can't see because I glued it and then pushed them together so they'd be flush. Good call with the knee pads!

Cool! I wanna make one! XD

[OneTechCorruptions]

@sjs2657g Yea, knee pad kills it. Fits perfectly, you get a back-up, and mine were free (in the garage).
