Is there anyone interested in a homemade arm and vest?​
They are near completion and will need a little work before they are finished but if anyone has been interested in building one wants to have them I will sell at a great deal. I have pictures if you want to see them.

Here is a list of what is needed for completion:

Heavier springs
Double reinforced aluminum or steel plate for vest
mounting plate on the vest


So it is not much work to have it finished. If you already have a steadicam this would be a great addition. It is roughly the hybrid equivilent of the V-8 or v-16 system by glidecam that retails for $2,000 and $5,000

I am looking to get $380 out of it considering the materials cost roughly $115 and I spent many hours on it. Let me know if this is fair.

Below is were I got all the help to work on this project.

I would also like to see the pic's, only because I have been researching building my own rig. The pic's will help if I am interested because after reading things that could go wrong , if the gable and arm are not constructed right when you try and balance the rig this is when the mistakes show. Not to say your work is bad but just to make sure I can use the rig after buying it. It should also be tested for the weight of the camera being used. Test test and re-test.
