I had way better results after designing my version 2 camera mount. A big thank you for all the input and suggestions from you guys.

Mooi Jean. The previous version wasn't a failure, but a learning experience. Good video once again

You are on of the cleverest woodworkers on KZfaq. I very much appreciate your ability to conceive of, and then implement, your effective solutions with a reasonable number of tools.

It's sooo good to see a woodworking channel that keeps their full guard on the table saw!

@creepycrawlything 4 жыл бұрын

The manner in which you combine woodcraft with high-end thinking about mechanics, is inspiring; as also is the way in which that nexus of capability applies itself to development evolution from the limitations of what became a prototype. Your videos are both enjoyable and educational. You really are an R&D artisan.

Great design, great job! One minor suggestion - I don't know how tight you have the nuts to provide enough friction, but could wingnuts be used instead to save having to use a tool? If you find yourself having to adjust it, that is :)

Nice redesign. Looks MUCH more stable. Failure is the path to success. Don't be afraid to show stuff that doesn't work again. You ended up creating a very good arm in the end as a fantastic demonstration of iterative design.

Nothing wrong with the initial device. It was fully functional so ot was not a failure. It was for a smaller/lighter application. Nice work on the upgrade! Thanks for sharing!

@sincerelyyours7538 3 жыл бұрын

Great idea! Now that you know it works, I suggest you give each piece a coat or two of a hard finish like shellac to seal the wood from moisture caused expansion and contraction. Also put knobs or wingnuts on the bolts to allow easier tightening.

@angusross-thomson1288 4 жыл бұрын

Good looking design. Having built a couple myself, i found that the wood slowly crushes over time and it flops down, I would recommend making up some knurled wood knobs to tighten up the joints every now and again, saves getting the spanners out!

@BenMitro 4 жыл бұрын

Very, very good. Simplifying and improving while eliminating less useful functions is called development. Using wood, aside from the fact yours is a "woodworking channel" is excellent as it will vastly reduce high frequency vibrations that metals cannot and that matters for camera work.

Also, the cleat wall system is really beginning to show its advantages.

Thanks for posting your learning experience. I am building a table on a swing arm with a similar design. One section and in metal, but the same trapezium action. I am also worried about stability and thanks to your videos I know what to investigate if things don't work out as I planned. Keep up the good work.

@mcnulty9712 2 жыл бұрын

@tonywhite5557 4 жыл бұрын

Love the aesthetics! Use of ply is sooo nice. As Michael Gray has suggested the wood will expand/contract/wear. Nyloc nuts on those arm through bolts will help.

I just found your channel and it's so nice to see a fellow South African being so active on the site. I'm definitely looking forward to future videos and hope to pick up some tips about setting up a hobbyist woodworking shop here with supplies actually available in SA as well

@ibubezi7685 3 жыл бұрын

True - watching all those woodworking channels, they are all US - there is a Home Depot next to each Starbucks or McDonald, they got all the materials and tools - and much cheaper (relatively) than over here, I would think. Also, I noticed many makers use the green(ish) Ryobi range - haven't seen that in SA. I figure it is their sturdier line, as the one they sell here would not 'survive' over there - but maybe it's just thorough 'product-placement' :-)

@larsonbennett5903 4 жыл бұрын

Very nice! I wondering if that over time some springs might be helpful as the arm is repeatedly used. But for now, it looks to be a terrific and very functional design.

@ibubezi7685 3 жыл бұрын

I think the main weak-point was that swivel within the joint - I don't think I ever saw that before (I used to have a metal one, on my desk, with springs). I would have tried to salvage the old top-part, using it on your new triple-arm (as opposed to building that new arm) - as you eliminated two weak-points already. But, this one works, so you might be able to use that old one later on. Also, good to notice you painted the walls! Nice channel, I appreciate the combination of wood-working and finding solutions - subscribed.

@tomim7187 4 жыл бұрын

Fantastic! What a great build! Maybe add a bit of wax between the moving parts to reduce wear and it should last for years!

please don't wear a ring while using power tools (the drill press is particularly risky). if you injure that finger, it may swell, and cut off circulation. then, you will have to cut off the ring.

I like the way you worked it out to enlarge an add the extra leg on bottom to new wall mount an new joints. Also to go shorter on top an only two legs. Getting away from all those knobs to turn helps. Easier plan to follow for any one to do. Nice. I don’t record or want to, An my need for something as such in my crowded shop would be ( as I would say %^&#@&* ) an of no need. But a great design and build thank you for sharing, you very highly skilled.
