Awake in the Woods - My DIY camera crane/jib Short

[krotoflik]

Hey everyone, this is a demo I put together of me using only the camera mounted to my camera jib I built. As for specs it will reach approximately 8ft (depending on tripod height), can fit in a small car and should only cost $20 or less. I will create a tutorial later on, but wanted to test it out first and make adjustments if needed. Thanks for watching.



Here is the thread with the tutorial to watch the build: http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread...mera-crane-jib

Not bad at all! If its really $20, I would really like to see that tutorial!

Thanks, I am currently testing a couple modifications at the moment before creating the DIY. But it should definetely be about $20. Maybe less, :O who knows. ;)

Thanks! I decided to alter the design a tad so the tutorial is still to come. Just want to make sure I am 100% happy before making it. Should still be about $20.

;) You are not the only one who has asked me that. Its pretty straight forward, but I will discuss that once I create the tutorial. So be on the look out! I think today I might finish the changes then I can test and confirm things are good to go. This coming weekend I have free so I will shoot for the DIY then. Thanks!

Hey man, well I did finish the changes and I am much more satisfied with it now. I will try and shoot the tutorial tomorrow or Saturday and hopefully have everything together for a Monday upload. Even with the improved changes its still only $20 or less. Thanks!
