another cheap durable rail system...

[arbslikewhoa]

Taking a break from work tonight so I thought i'd post some of my recent activity.

Recieved the extreme a week ago and started building a rail system. Spent about 35 bucks at Tractorsupply to purchase everything shown. It's a bit heavy... but its extremely durable. All plain steel with 1/2 inch steel rails.

ah, sorry. I should have rephrased the title. But yeah, its just a simple/cheap support rail system thats ridiculously durable. I finished up a bit more and started shooting the next short film with it. Still have a ways to go but the entire rig is stating to take shape now.

I added a clamp going over the letus and had to lift the camera body up about a 1/2 inch off the original platform. Next I will be adding on two large ‘U’ shaped handles that will enclose around the adapter and camera body for ease of transportation and protection.

This is from the shoot thus far.
