DIY Tripod Aluminium Pro Level English

[@banditman142536]

I love it. Fantastic job Sir. Even if I was not a photographer I would still want one. Just to play with and look at. Thank you for the video.

[@StudioBonn]

Thanks a lot...to be true, I often sit in front of the tripod and...play with it a little...🤗

[@jayfarina7263]

Abssolut genius.
When I read Pro level I though 'let's see...'
After watching the video, my brain has just exploded.
Congratulations, this is magic

[@StudioBonn]

Thank you very much, that makes me proud that other people realise not only the end product but the very long way to get that. And... welcome on my channel 🤗

[@jayfarina7263]

@@StudioBonn well, it is very difficult not to realise the huge design and building process behind that stunning item.
Probably I am wrong, but I think you are German, so I am not surprised about your engineering skills :)
Greetings from Spain

@@jayfarina7263 Yes, I'm German, but to be honest metal work is not my profession, normally I'm a janitor. Learning by doing is what I do within exact ideas and possible solutions to get what I want... that's all.

I noped out once I heard 170. Otherwise, fantastic video. I'm intrigued by the prospect of a DIY tripod. Thanks for sharing in English and German!

[@StudioBonn]

Thank you for your comment! Well...size doesn't matter...😉

[@computerjantje]

Now that is what you can call a tripod :) Great work, nice video :)

[@martinshow5146]

your voice is amazing when i close my eyes and listen to the video.
you sound like a late night storry taler on the radio. but a high quality :)
nice video. thumb up.

WOW! This is a thing of beauty. I came looking to see how to make a DIY mid-level tripod spreader and found this. I know you did this for a video tripod, but you just made the perfect tripod for a heavy telescope. I love this idea and have access to all the tools necessary to make something similar for myself that's adapted to my needs. I know it's been years now, but do you have any update on this DIY tripod? Do you still use it/love it? Do you still think all the time you spent making it was worth it? You have absolutely inspired me!

[@StudioBonn]

Hello Jennifer, thank you for your kind comment! The idea to use the tripod for a telescope was on my list, but unfortunately there are some more important things to consider...
I use my triopod well and it was no wastet time to realise it - my longtime thoughts tells me, that I was right to work it out! Please contact me under [e-mail] and I will give you a little more detailed informations about the middle spreader. And my other video on my channel ua-cam.com/video/tXTcUc725Jw/v-deo.html Sorry, only in German language but you can use the youtube translation...

A master level tripod 👍

Thank you very much... 🤗

@@StudioBonn i want to make a similar tripod but of a smaller size 👍

WOU.
You are amazing !!!!

Thats a super one, absolutely gorgeous

Hi Michael John Cochrane here your tripod is a beautiful piece of engineering well done😀👍👍

[@StudioBonn]

Hi John, happy to hear from you! Thanks for your comment, hope everything is all right in down under ;-) Next Video will come very soon about my last project, a pro-level-JIB. Best regards to your family...Michael

[@sector9films]

Studio Bonn yes we are all well my friend I have switched my camera gear to the Panasonic Lumix cameras and recently bought a GH5 and love it

[@StudioBonn]

Good to hear, thanks a lot - and congrats, a really nice camera!

[@charliegoddard5642]

Nice one Michael, Great project well done it looks very good. Hope you have a lot of fun with it. Well Done.

[@StudioBonn]

Charlie Goddard Thank you, and yes, I will have a lot of fun with that tripod...👍

[@AnupamVipul]

I will soon make mine however I wish to know how you made the Mid Spreader leg that extends out I would like to know more about that . Do you have pictures or close up of that?

[@StudioBonn]

Hello my friend, please write to my email [e-mail] so I can give you some pictures and explanations you need... :-)

[@StudioBonn]

Well,...we have 2021, so...?

[@bigendertroll]

Kannst du mal zeigen wie man sowas in einer simpleren wariante macht?

[@StudioBonn]

Hi...sorry, wenn es eine simplere Variante geben sollte - außer kaufen - dann wäre ich schon darauf eingegangen...

[@bigendertroll]

ok aber vielen Danke nochmal ausserdem ein sehr schönes Projekt
ich glaube ich werde dieses Stativ Prinzip in etwas kleiner nachbauen

[@iNeoKF]

Can you please tell, where did you get the rotatory part? I mean the part which joins the rods. Thank You

[@StudioBonn]

Hello, I think you talk about the halfbowl-adapter (the big gray item in the middle)? It is a part from Sachtler. I bought it from the Sachtler onlinestore in 2016 for 140,00 Euro. Meanwhile the organisation around Sachtler is combined with other brands like Vinten or OConner, Bauer… it’s called partsstore.vitecparts.com but the link doesn’t work inside that homepage. So I would start searching again with Sachtler and maybe local servicepartners… I’m sorry that I couldn’t give a better information

[@iNeoKF]

@@StudioBonn I'm so much grateful! Thank you so much. This helps so much. It provides all the info I needed. Sorry I couldn't reply earlier.

[@stevenarango2929]

awesome..... looks great

[@randythomas3580]

Great video!! I want to utilize some very good tripods that I already have but I need the center monopod that adjusts up and down how can I make this relatively inexpensive. I am using the Caldwell Magnum Deadshot field pod for one of my tripods and the Bog-Pod Death Grip for another tripod. I did not like the tops of either one so please help me out, Thanks Randy

[@StudioBonn]

I would build it up like a pedestal. But far away from inexpensive or easy to do. With a power-cylinder (from a chair (dangerous!)) and a new mechanism for up and down. I've seen tripods with a friction drive and a crank but not stable - more like a childs toy.
To do that it will cost a lot of time and some tests until it can placed into an existing tripod... it sounds interesting to me but unfortunately I have changed my working place so I'm not longer able to use a workshop! And in my house there is no place... I hope I could give you a small idea to think in the right direction...

[@weekendphotostudio9801]

Excellent!

[@sergeantcrow]

A Masterpiece !

[@StudioBonn]

Thanks a lot, sir.

[@sergeantcrow]

@@StudioBonn Thank you Sir for sharing with us.. I can imagine how pleased you must be to just simply solve that problem.. and then went beyond by producing a Top Class piece of work : ) . I needed a 'cage' with lens (For heavy vintage Vivitars etc.,) support for my little D5100 for video.. It took 4 evenings - hard wood bits and pieces and metal rods.. painted with cheap artist black acrylic.. Now delighted.. Problem solved..

[@ThameeraR]

How come this video doesn't have more views???

[@maxiarnedo4126]

You are awesome!

[@StudioBonn]

Thanks a lot...👍

[@avocadochoe]

how are the leg clamp designs done? are the clamps just pure metal against metal? or did you insert some sort of material to increase friction?

[@StudioBonn]

Seung Hyuk Choe Hello, thanks for your question. Well, there is nothing inside the clamps, just pure metal on metal...but it works great! Stable enough for more than 60 kg!

[@avocadochoe]

some fantastic engineering there. i'm planning to build my own, except in carbon fiber. do you have any schematics you could share?

[@StudioBonn]

Seung Hyuk Choe In a few days I will update my homepage with more details. A big warning: it takes a very long time to do that project... it must be very precise in every single detail!

[@avocadochoe]

splended! i'll be looking forward to that

[@sumitgpatil]

Why do I think that it's too heavy??

[@StudioBonn]

Because....it is! Lol, sorry... thanks for that question. Ok, I want to get a very sturdy tripod and I really don't want to have torsion dynamics as I told in the video. So it is rocksolid in the meaning of the words! In my studio or in a friends studio there is absolutely no question about the weight of a camera! A smartphone or a full rigged URSA, it doesn't matter.
And for outdoor I have enough other tripods or gimbals or...whatever. "Too much" my wife would say ;-)

[@sumitgpatil]

@@StudioBonn yeah I thought that too, you can put any camera you want on that...cheers..😍

Hi Michael,
Very nice work! I love it!
What is round tube diameter?

[@StudioBonn]

Szabo Gabor Thanks a lot. The diameter is about 30mm (1.181 inch ~ 1 3/16) as described in the video.

[@szabogabor2927]

You are my man :)

How thick are the round pipes????

[@StudioBonn]

Hi...the diameter is 30mm...

[@helthuismartin]

Soo how much does it cost????

[@StudioBonn]

Sorry, I forget to answer... well, I think between 450,00 € and 550,00 €... and, of course, exactly one year time!
