This is [sic]...
...the components of my make-shift figrig, steadcam device.
Uh. I am going to do a how-to video shortly. By shortly I probably mean within the next
month.
But I checked around the community and tried to incorporate some concerns that people had.
One was like a stabilizer or foot... this way this works is that all white pieces are
adjustable. So this comes off, but it also has the option of putting basically a pin
in so you don't have to worry about your expensive camera going all over the place.
And the kickstand can come up uh when in motion or you can use it as a handle - whatever works
for ya'.
There you go - nice - weighs somewhere between 2 and 3 pounds which is close to the real
fig-rig which is about 3.7 pounds according to the available specs.
Uh and this is my ...what the camera mount goes on.
This is the foot or the
little wooden washer I made.
It's kind of rounded off so it would fit in the PVC foot a bit better. It's got that counter-bore
for this feature on this bolt.
And that all comes together like....
BAAM.
Just like that. There is my pin to keep the base in place.
And yes I did stain my birch plywood camera base.
That's the way I do it. And I counter-bored for that nut there so we could have a flush
surface for the camera.
So we don't put undue strain on the camera mount because I would rather break this than
the camera mount.
I guess I'll show you a real short clip of what it looks like in action.
