There are probably some others who have made something simular but here is what I made today.
12" long 2" wide aluminum piece
(2) bicycle handgrips
3/4" wooden dowl
(2) 2" screws
some kind of mounting screw
I think it's pretty self explanatory, but if needed I can try to provide more details.
I did a thread on the same rig about a week ago! haha
I love this rig with my DSLR,I did do this EXACT design,but I found it was alot more stable with a top bar too!
I even used wooden dowel for the handles before!
I changed my design finally with 3/4" Round Aluminium bar,and then I tapped and drilled the ends out now my design is perfect, and VERY strong,I actually will start selling them in a month or so.Still working on parts and materials with a local machine shop.
But we all know aluminium isn't cheap!
We have priced ours around $45.00 USD,and there will be optional accessories such as a top handle and more,and even color and grip selections!
Colors will be Matte Black,Shiny Black,RedRock Blue
Grips are still being determined,we want the most selections for the filmmaker.
