DIY GoPro LEGO Stabiliser Build Tutorial Producttank
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2016
- Following the Lego stabiliser video I made, a few people asked for a build tutorial. This video shows you how to build a simple DIY Lego Camera stabiliser. I've used a GoPro Camera, but if you own another small video camera or a smart phone, you can easily adapt the design to suit what ever you have, as long as you understand the principles.
I have greatly simplified this build from the previous design, so that it is easier to make and uses less Lego, so will cost less to build than the previous design if you don't already have enough Lego lying around from your childhood.
I like making things and I like making camera stabilisers, they appeal to me because of the principles and the fine tuning involved. But if making things is not where your passion lies and you just want to get straight to the filming, camera stabilisers are now so inexpensive, it would make much more sense to just purchase one.
Hi, producttank! What a bricktastic creation! Everyone at our office is talking about this brilliant use of our bricks - we're obsessed 😍 How can we reach you? Do you have an email address via which we could contact you? All the best, The LEGO Group
thats fantastic
Please update! Were you able to get in touch with him?
oh now we know where he went
Now we know why he’s gone…
@@milk_chemistry any ideas how to contact him?
Please don't stop making videos. They are so educational
Just want to point out that you should be using black connector pegs, not grey ones because the grey ones have way less friction then the black ones.
Thanks all for the comments, I know I haven't released a video for a while, but there's lots going on behind the scenes that will hopefully be finished soon......ish. PT
thank you for make make video as clear as that, some people don't know how hard to make video as simple as possible , thank you sir :) , i really apriciate it
producttank that sounds good
Said him 4 years ago... 😔
are you still there?
@@mohammadarifshahriar6908 yes, still here. PT
This is a really great build, but why no actual demo footage from the stabilized camera?
Hi Sean, this is just to answer a load of requests and comments from my previous camera video for a build tutorial, the demo footage is in that video. PT
+producttank But it looks like in this one you made it better--wouldn't you want to show the result of the improved stabilization?
Hi Sean, it's a funny thing, but actually the difference between the two isn't noticeable, I have compared footage and there isn't enough of a difference so I decided to just show the build. PT
how does this type of Lego called?
because
because what?
dude, plz come back to youtube :-( design needs you. do you have any social media where i can follow you?
i remember watching your videos years ago when i was studying , you where the CGP Grey of design.
Wow it really can't get much simpler than this! Loved the first video, but this one is on a whole new level. Thanks for sharing, definitely going to take a second shot at making this :)
Hi producttank, I'm a product designer and I just wanted to thank you for all your advice and ideas, they have been so, so helpful to make some clarity, especially now that I'm a master degree graduating student. I'd really like to see more videos about sketching! Cheers
Thank you very much for the information by the basic principles and to meet the requests of many of us. Keep it up Producttank !
Cool. I made ot with completly different peaces because i dont have those and it turned out grat! Thanks for teaching us how 2 do it.
Plz don’t stop making videos, it’s very helpful to my design assignment😢
Really good :) such an incredible idea
Legit awesomeness right here. 👌👌
You're awesome ProductTank. I admire you.
It would be useful if you could give me the names of the pieces of lego and the measures you used, and more great was the list all and excuse my ignorance
is there a way i can do this when i dont have ANY square technix and only have rounded technix that only have up to 6 holes
great idea
Really awesome idea! I need to build one! Do you have any kind of part list for this?
Hoping for new content soon. Product Tank really influenced me and help me improve as a designer in uni.
Hi KENichi, I'm trying, how soon, not that soon, but hopefully this year. PT
this is really cool - you should also add a video that shows how your gopro is stabilized with this. I'm really tempted to build one just to play with it.
cool construction
Hello, I decided to challenge my self and build this for an iPhone 5. Naturally the biggest issue is the weight.. While testing it the phone seems to swing while walking about, do you think there's any way to build a canter weight that could reduce or remove some of the swinging? I followed the video and built the canter weight longer but still seems t sowing a bit, Would appreciate your help! Thanks!
simply genius.. thnx for posting
Very nice build for bigger kids hehe.
which gopro did you use there
i have . go pro hero 4 i think. it has touch screen and it has wi fi for connecting to phone
Please come back.
Hey I really like your videos! Please make another videos about design process, thank you.
I wanted to make a Lego robot and if I put the torso on the legs the legs will just freeze because I made them move but when anything goes in the middle it stops the legs moving I need help
producttank hi i like this idea its simple easy and cheap i wonder can you make some kind of stabilizer for mtb 🤔🤔🤔 like helmet and chest ????
Very nice video.
Great Engineering.
I love your videos. They are all so clear, concise and complete. Question: Is your name Simon? I have a bet with my team at work.
Sorry, you loose the bet 😁. PT
@@producttank haha - thanks for replying :)
you were here 6 months ago? 🤩 We all eould love to know more about you, learn more from you.
Omg i just found a youtube glitch where i pause but it still moves like going a frame bag and forward
amazing tutorial, any way you can attempt at making a 3 axis gimbal version :D ?
thank you
Great video! I like the idea you gave: 0:56
can you make Build A Wall Outlet Powerbank in a coffee cup or some thing like that
Hey man!
I really liked your videos!
I hope if you have enough time to make a new one :)
Thanks for your tutorials, you are inspiring!
i like the dragon fly did you make it or buy it I would like to have one thanks
Hi Tom, I made it with a small motor from an old camera, not long after filming it broke.
First I would like to thank you for your informative content, It helped me personally a lot, I have a question and I hope you would be able to help me,I live in Egypt and I have a bachelor degree in dentistry, I would like to obtain any kind of degree I can in product or furniture design, do you know of any e-learning programs I can check and if an online degree is worth the time or not ?
I'm certain one could get some lightweight extruded aluminium and use a self-built jig to ensure equal distancing of holes to make the 'frame' of this sort of thing using all-metal parts.
Retain the ability to adjust the position of things like the balancing weight (cantilever?), its offset on the crossbar at the bottom, allow for the use of heavier-duty springs and a larger, heavier camera, and have an overall more durable, longer-lasting and easier to 'take down and set up' system once one's done building it.
I tried building one of these rigs made with technics. The left/right and up and down were quite smooth but I couldn't get the back/forward to stop swinging.
The part coming down was about 12 inches & the counter weight extended back about 16 inches. It balanced real nice. Any tips on reducing swing.
Hi Tim,, the counter weight is very long, suggesting something is out. Try moving the camera back towards the centre pivot point a bit which will allow you to greatly reduce the length of the counterbalance. Then keep adjusting weight where ever possible until you get that really slow swing.
Thanks allot
@producttank this is s big project, but I wonder if it's possible. Can you make a rocket or ballon that would go into space for a bit and photoshoot. Probley impossible
@produkttank first: You inspire me very much!
Second: Please can you show us a normal day as an Product Designer?
good job, congratulation ;-)
Your video are so nice ;-)
Pls can you make a stabilizer by Lego not with technique pieces.
Imagine making a stabiliser for a 1DX MKIII with legos, that would be crazy good, and big, and heavy
hello !first of all very good and impressive video !!second, wich camera did you use to make the video ? (you mad a stabilizer for GoPro Camera, but did you use a GoPro Camera to do this one ?)and thanks for sharing !!
Hi totopremier, I only have 1 go pro so used a canon EOS 600 D for most of the filming. PT
don't believe it !!!I have exactelly the same !!!thanks for the quick reply !
can I get the tutorial
Built-in stabilizers have physical limits and result in lower image resolution and produce jittery video. This reduces the load and image quality reduction when used, together, with a camera's built-in stabilizer. Not to mention you get a much clearer shot.
One way to make this better...
1: Use a longer counter-weight attachment. (It should be at-least half the weight of the camera and the length of the whole unit should be nearly 2 to 3-feet or 60 to 100-cm.)
2: Add some weight just under the camera, so there is an over-all greater mass to the unit.
3: Make a spring tension adjustment.
4: Use a low-friction "resistance dampening" connection for the joints. (Eg, shocks to go with the raw springs, to remove the "bounce".)
5: Move the joint a bit further from the camera, downward. (Taking mind that #1 must also be done too.) Roughly a ratio of 1:6 or 1:10... If the distance from the camera to the pivot is 10cm, the total length should be about 60 to 100cm.
This is why a broom-stick, with a water-bottle on the bottom, held about 6" under the camera, works well with just your arms natural "tension", as shocks.
My phone is way to heavy and i cant get IT to work
Where is the best place to buy the lego parts?
Isaac lil Bricklink.com
Miss you where have you been😁
what inexpensive stabilizer can you suggest for my canon dslr?
Hi Hen ngo, there's loads of professional reviews of inexpensive camera stabilisers on UA-cam, I haven't tested any, so can't recommend any, but a quick search will give you lots of options. PT
Nice
please do a video how do stabilise
You're genius
It is sooo useful, come back (:
Hi boss I am from India your idea is too good why don't you make it for heavier camera
I miss Product tank :'(
same
Just discovered him and now I'm bummed he isn't making any new content.
I was going to make one then I realized “what am I? Smart”
Hello ! A vidéo build ?
please make an active stabilizer using Lego Technics :)
Test footage?
Hi Saeched, the test footage is in the first video I made, this stabiliser is not going to give you super pro stabilisation, it is built out of Lego after all, but I think it will be a great improvement over hand held. PT
👍
Where did you go??
I'm still here, life got in the way of making videos but I hope to rectify that this year.
Hello! I'm interested in a possible collab on product design, is there any way of contacting you?
no i want a gyro/lego build because of the weight(look up my other comment)
ps glad your talking about balace
I am an indian. i am interested in joining the field of product design. im not really good at drawing object from memory, although i am really good at visualizing and i have good ideas for products, they come and go . i wanted to know how to join colleges in usa how to get my chances up to get the colleges and how to get scholarships
i am really good at copying drawings tho
FOOI !!!
Hello
I am beginning a start up and I am looking for a product designer. Could you please inform me if you have a school? A company who designs the products?
Thank you so much.
Have a nice day
Hi Terrier, thanks for reaching out. I'm not taking on any projects at the moment. There are lots of product designers out there and it depends on your product and budget as to whether it is best to go with a company, freelancer or contact the closest university running a product design course. I wish you luck in all your endeavours. PT
@@producttank Thank you for your reply, best regards
If people can't find the Lego joint thing it's because they are lame saddos who haven't put much effort into it, a tip for anyone trying to source them, there is a thing now a days called the internet and on this internet you can search for things, try searching for it.
Dang it I just made the old version
Sorry Melvin, you don't have to build the new version, I hope the old one is working well for you. :-)
+producttank it is, thank you for this
When's the next video man it's been 10 months :(
Hi Yipyayop, I know man, it's been too long. I'm desperate to make more videos, got loads of ideas, got a few bits ready for editing, just got to find some/make some/claw some time from somewhere! PT
Hello
I want to present to you my idea of a new innovative product that will come into people's everyday life.
How to contact you
Marcus where have you gone!??????
Hi Vadimas - I'm still here, but the updated UA-cam wouldn't allow me to post comments using my outdated tech!
Where have you gone @producttank?
Hi Adam, I'm still here, but life got in the way of making videos.
@@producttank understandable! Love your stuff very inspiring! Hope your still making stuff for fun!
@@producttank i hope you have been finished super tripod 😁
@@aprogress2374 sorry for the late reply, I have redesigned the super tripod so all the wires are hidden and made a bunch of improvements. I just have to make a prototype, but its finding the time!
@@producttank I made a standard tripod, and that's when I realized how difficult it is to do DIY projects, especially when the limitations of a material require a limited solution. I hope the super tripod will really be super, I'm looking forward to that day. 🙋
Awesome!! Thanks
Lego shoul make a set of this with 10$
a FUCKING sample video?!?!?!?!?!
What a nice ASMR chanel for sleeping
Are you single ?
