DIY Crane - Progress Update

I started out last week Wednesday building a custom crane for video recording and by Saturday I had finished that + two other custom rigs.

Using only PVC material I built a handheld camera stabilizer and a shoulder mount.

Their function is purely to help reduce handshake when recording without a tripod. 

At R5 per meter, pvc-pipe-based rigs are the cheapest and easiest idea on th e web.

Thanks to Google and Youtube (again) i was able to do these in no time and for close to nothing.

I’m yet to test them in a real-life setting but from the little I tested at home the results are incredible! Amazing what a bit of  online ‘research’ can produce…
