Homemade Steadicam

Nope...but my cam is only 5 lbs, and I can hold it for hours (being ambidextrous probably helps)

It's the DIY section. Some of us actually enjoy the challenge and the knowledge gained in building stuff. That's what this section is for after all.

it really is an inspiration. Shred inspired me to finally get off my ass amd working on my rig. I've been tweakign with it ever since and the sled is going through it's third rebuild 9adding monitor and battery, so all I have to say is this: thanks Shred. Hopefully your build inspired more of us to get moving on building our own.
 
Shred,
Try moving your hand down below the gimble to the CG of the sled, you'll probabaly find delicate control easier.

Mikko, on my next gimbal, i will definitely try that. This one has been giving my enough trouble.

Here are some pictures of my new sled in the works

looks like someone has been shopping at mcmaster-carr. i was just looking at those parts the other day to rebuild my sled. what diameter of aluminum tube did you decide to go with Shred?
 
Regardign hand positions: No need to modify or adjust the rig, just move you hand lower on the post so it's below the gimbal!


Those new parts look really good. Well done.

Is that a CF centerpost I see in the works? Will you be making a new stage too?

So, can a homemade steadi like this perform comparatively to its "bigger" and more expensive brothers [60k+ $], if the operator really knows what he's doing?

Would the gap between the home-made and the hi-end steadi be that big?

It's 1.5" and it's actually carbon fiber.

Wicked strong
 
Would this kind of stabilizer perform well with a Red One? :happy:

Or a full rig would be too heavy?

this could be used with the red, although i'm not sure what it weighs.

This rig can hold between 6lbs-15lbs cameras (using different springs)
