I couldnt find one of these threads?
I finally got around to making one. There's a few kinks that need to be worked out but it actually works better than I thought. I'm also going to be mounting a monitor near where i stand so i can actually see what i am shooting. I will hopefully get i painted this weekend as long as its not to windy or it doesnt rain, and hopefully get the monitor on. Test video up in a little while.



I have a few more things i want to make also, camera dolly that can be used on the sand, camera stabilizer which will be used once i get around to making a short film, and getting a 35mm adapter one day, and a waterproof housing Hopefully next week I will be able to by a external mic also... Tongue

It's pans good, there's a few things I need to do to it though so it shakes a little less, I may end up getting a motorized pan/tilt head for where the camera is so I can pan up there too it's just the weight might be too much

Would you really drop around 100 bucks just to throw a monitor on it really?

Umm...yeah it's really hard to see what your shooting when it's that high up trust me, and I already have a monitor so I won't need to spend any money

Yes I understand that but I wouldn't waste 100 bucks when I could just try the shot again you know but since you already have one I'd do the same thing. I'm thinking about making my arm out of metal.

I need the monitor for reference for both skim and short films that I will be making. And I would rather get the shot first time than have to chech the playback each time to see if I got it. I would make the arm out of alumanum since its lighter that's what i'm making my next one out of
