Having used a tripod for 8 years now, an upgrade was inevitable. But a ceiling-mounted camera gantry is something you cannot buy, so you have to build it yourself. It was an enjoyable project with many machined parts, giving me plenty of practice in achieving close tolerance fits.
And, of course, I got some inspiration from other creators doing a similar build.

As an engineer who does wood working as a hobby, I can somewhat appreciate how much effort this project took, making an entire drawing package, even for parts that didn't need drawings, while also building it, not to mention filming the whole process. I've got so much respect for the work you do, and you're just getting better in all aspects of it.

Excellent build man! And to make two of them is insane. I also really appreciate that you didn't compromise on the quality of anything, i.e. the play in the bushings. I ran into the same problem, but didn't have the dedication to precision that you showed here. Kudos to you! By the way, how are you finding the wobbling/bouncing? I have to steady my camera momentarily after starting each shot. Not ideal but beats the hell out of setting up a tripod!

Thanks Brandon! I guess you could find some of your designs in my build as well. (Plastic in the arm tubes was great) I also have to stop the camera from bouncing everytime. Then it takes about 2-5 sec until it's completely steady. Probably a thing of muscle memory you will get used to quickly. Another solution is using a remote release.

@MacroAggressor Жыл бұрын

One small upgrade suggestion: consider adding some adjustable handles or cam levers to lock the articulation points in position... you shouldn't need them for most shots, but if there is a situation where you can't keep the camera still, or where repeatability over time is paramount (such as long shot time-lapses), I imagine this would be a massive boon (a "Boom-Boon" you might say =D ). Great project, cheers.

this could actually be very useful for normal shops too, but instead of holding a camera, you could run some dust collection tubing along it and use it with a quick connect at the end. Would let you run a single duct for basically all your tools instead of running a bunch of different ducts to them all individually. And with an adapter to use smaller tubing you could hook up all the hand tools with dust extraction (like palm sanders, track saws, routers, etc) to the main dust extractor instead of having to move a shop vac all around the shop.
