Camera Gantry System
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- 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.

I am surprised nobody is raging about the four different ways I wrote and pronounced alumin(i)um😄
Ha now I know why Paulimot plasters their name everywhere lol.
Still a awesome supplier. Got my Multifix there too.
It saves so much time, also the ancient quick change toolholder was loose as a wobble head...
And pronounced, right?😊😂
I did notice. I was angry, disappointed, enraged and furious. But I was not going to talk about it because I did not want to ruin the satisfying feeling this video gave me. But now that you brought it up anyway ... 🤬🤬🤬🤣
Nah but seriously, I am a fan. I enjoy your style of videos very much. It's a nice mix of recognition, envy, and admiration for me. No worries. Awesome project with awesome results. Can you enlighten me on that app you are showing at 8:22 perhaps? Interesting!
That reminds me @SouthMainAuto who likes to trigger people by using WD-40🤣
I am only disappointed when you pronounce the L in "half" 😛
Edit:
not meaning that you speak so loud that the L breaks in two pieces LOL
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!
Marius's use of the chamfer is an obvious nod to you, yo. No doubt.
Marius's mistakes he made were definitely a homage to the box of shame
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.
@@MariusHornberger I wonder if you could add some sort of tuned mass damper to the end to help absorb the vibrations?
Nice! I was going to say that you had done one of these projects too!
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.
Thanks Andrew. I appreciate that very much!
It's incredible. I would hire this guy in an heartbeat. It's not even hobby level anymore but passed professional standards. Much smarter and more skilled compared to most of my coworkers.
He's definitely getting better, as an engineer and as a youtube entertainer. Sky's is the limit for Marius, isn't it ? can't wait to see the results in future videos!
Yeah one of my favorite youtubers
@@leroymel Sky? Nope. Not for this guy. His limit will be space as far as his mind will take him...until he reaches an advanced civilization (to which he may even give them a run for their money!😉)
As always, your videos are very precise and very well thought out, love your humor and self deprecating personality you have, always a delight to see a new video from you! Keep up the great work Marius! PS: "Yes I made a drawing for a washer" Absolutely the BEST! LOL
Thank you!
I also love his part naming, another part named "another part".
If this makes it easier and faster to send out content to all of us, I applaud it for its quality AND its functionality!
I hope that it speeds up the production
@@MariusHornberger Me too. Your videos are always welcome. You are uncommonly bright and inventive. Plus, I enjoy your jokes and edits. Cheers!
Thanks for the shoutout! Definitely one of those "why didn't I do this sooner" builds, and I think this one is the most over-engineered one I've seen so far 👌
Yeah I've only used it for a couple scenes now, but still, how on earth did I use tripods for so long
Thanks Phil!
I'm trying to figure out how you're only at 384K subs. Been watching you for years because the quality all the way around I would think you would be double that at least. Your content is always something different and entertaining. I once remember you saying there is no reason to make a video about making a table saw sled, there are hundreds already done. And since that, there's always something new. Props to you for building your shop one tool at a time and doing all this in some small basement shop. Keep it up, we'll keep watching.
We'll probably never see it used on camera, but we'll definitely see the effects as improved shots and perhaps quicker turn out of videos!
What I've always enjoyed about your channel is your work is so precise and I find it extremely satisfying to watch you build the precision into the projects. It is very inspiring.
Thanks Anthony
"after a few adjustments i made it much worse." LMAO 🤣 I love the deadpan humor and honesty. I think we've all been there.
Love to see UA-camrs get inspired by each other and giving the projects their personal touch!
Alexandre Chappell and others "I built this 10.000$ camera gantry"
Marius: "Hold my beer"
Awesome build. The main thing when sanding on a lathe is NEVER wrap the sanding paper around your finger. If it catches it will de-glove your finger in a split second.
Man, it's an instant click if I see you posted a video. The craftsmanship is next level as well as the humor. Keep it up!
Who else wants to see him making that arm powered by motors and following him in the shop automatically??
OOOHHHH YES
It would be more likely suitable task for Stuff made here. Collision handling, prediction handling...
I am speechless! I thought your drill press upgrade was the ultimate project, now you’ve gone and topped it by a huge leap. Thanks, Marius, keep the work flowing, please.
Marius - the man of next-level crafting. Such amazing results! Awesome project. x2
Your videos are automatic viewing for me, love your entire approach and combined machining, CNC, and wood shop. That said, my ass will be clenched throughout the day each time I remember that sanding maneuver on the lathe!
Be very careful sanding the inside of a bore like that with your finger. Check Dan Gelbart's video explaining the lathe; he shows how dangerous it can be to use your finger on a bore of a similar size as your finger itself.
Everything you create is just amazing, love your videos :)
“Yes I need a drawing for a washer.” Hahaha
This is why you’re my new favorite maker channel. Your attention to detail is amazing.
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.
As always: an incredible amount of work and your dedication for precision is astonishing and inspiring!
Great video 😊
I love how detailed and professional your projects are getting. Great video as always! Permission to watch it a second time?
Approved.
I want "Chamfer is good enough" on a t-shirt!
That would be pretty cool
2 absolutely awesome builds..... I managed to watch you build the second one by whatching the video twice 😁👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
No outtakes ☹️ haha. Awesome build and stoked to see you investing in infrastructure for your future videos.
Nice build! And respect for giving credit to another, similar builds!
Would you happend to be subscribed to inheritance machining? Great vid, as always! :3
You must get a buzz using the f-word. That is offensive to me. I have enjoyed your videos over the years. I’m unsubscribing.
Is this becoming a trend?
9:28 At one point this is not going to end well. Please don’t post that video. 👈
This was a very nice project though! I love to see you bring all techniques together.
Cool, after watching most of your videos of the last 8 years, my first new video notification 😊
Another great build. I'm curious what is the app you used to get the right torque for the bolt?
9:28 No that is not safe, put a saw cut in a small stick or pencil and put the sanding paper in the slot. Enjoy your videos
I just love the approaches you and Inheritance Machining took, it is a blessing watching you folks coming up with similar yet completely different solutions to a problem + showing us how it is done. Thank you!
Sooo cool!! (As all of your videos) Version 2 has raspberry pi with automatic motorized tracking of the action, scene transfer between rooms and some other out of this world features.. That video by next weekend? ;)
What's that app/website you used for bolt torque? I hate having to look up various charts online and that looked really quick and easy to use. Does it include other head limits too? Worked for a big company that didn't know a flathead screw and hex head of the same thread cannot take the same amount of torque and oh boy had they been stripping hardware for years.
The app is called: MechTab
Ive watched this video through and through twice now and It just makes me happy. I love the precision, the design, the execution, the jokes, just everything. Top quality entertainment and education. Thank you!
2:47 wait what....?!! Just realised I've never seen a magnet vice and I've missed the drill press video!! Bonus video to watch after this one! 🎉🎉🎉
I love german technical drawing humor.
9:02 "OD" Looks like someone is watching CEE ;D
Use a strong magnet (in an sturdy bag) to catch the steal chips.
Looks kinda similar to inheritance machinings’s video
slotted screws :O drew fisher wants to know your location
9:29 "Not sure if this was terribly safe to do"...
Oh darn those phenolic plywood pieces look so darn pretty with the metal bushings 🤩💜
Really Nice caméra arm, i love the design and i think i'm gonna make one for myself, i got almost everything but.. what kind of springs did u use for it ? i want to buy some but idk which one would do the job as good as your :)
Thanks for your reply and keep up that great work :)
I have 18mm OD, 2mm wire thickness, 180mm long
And 15mm OD, 2mm wire thickness, 180 long springs.
Longer springs would be even better. I'm almost overstretching them
It's very useful, and very nice vidéo 😮 , all the détails are great. But when youn don't use the camera, the vertical arm is dangerous. Thanks
This was absolutely fantastic. I've watched many of your videos but only realised today that I wasn't subscribed... FIXED. Thank you for such entertaining and informative content. Cheers, JAYTEE
großartig sowas brauch ich auch
I totally need this! I installed a grid in my new flat, but only for lights. And I hate my tripods. I am looking for a Sachtler tripod, but I think I prefer this!
Loved it and will make your life filming stuff so much easier 😊 how long until the arm is settled after moving? Or does the in-camera stabilization handle that so you don’t have to account for it?
It depends. I stop it from shaking as good as possible, then about 2-5 seconds till it's stable
@@MariusHornberger That's pretty good, not long enough to have to wait for it when you return to your spot & stark talking probably 😊 It's nice when you can make quality of life improvements for yourself. I'm a software developer; making tools to make my life easier rocks, though I'd have to admit I'm pretty jealous of your skills. I'd love to get into making physical stuff when I get some more free time in the future 😊
You always amaze me! Thanks for showing us your latest awesome creation...
Beautiful work, very inspiring. I'd make the spring tension adjustable to allow using different cameras. Or just for fun, use a cable with counterweights held by a pin like exercise machines use but smaller.
Yes, I made a drawing for washers😂 Deutsche haben doch ein wenig Humor
i wonder if your shutter angle is part of the reason the drill press shots look so unnatural. in motion video, it's generally best to set the "shutter angle" to 180 degrees to get good looking motion blur, in laymans terms this means the shutter speed on your camera should be twice that of the framerate you're shooting. I.e, for 24FPS video, you want your shutter speed to be locked at 1/48 of a second, or for 60FPS you want 1/120 second exposure. that way, even if the shutter speed and drill spin rate are synchronized, it'll still have realistic blur instead of looking like it's frozen in place.
Your precision and attention to detail is incredible. And your filming style/etc... just makes your videos some of the ones that I look forward to the most.
Thanks Michael
I assume you don't have any qualms about some Chinese rich guy copies your perfectly executed project for mass production and international sales. 🙏 Your altruism makes me speechless. Thank you for sharing.
If you plan to do more steel cutting in the future, there might be some ideas to steel from Cold Saws. In metal shops there's 3 main ways to rough cut stock, bandsaws, abrasive saws, and cold saws, which are basically extremely high torque miter saws with an integrated vice and coolant pump. (for the record Hot saws are extremely similar but are meant for cutting glowing hot metal, and they have considerably different tooth geometry to deal with the metal being a wee bit gooey.) Cold saws are usually built out of a handful of cast iron bits to give them a ton of rigidity, and have a big stonking motor at right angle to the blade, like a worm drive circular saw but I don't know what the gearing in there is. They also feature the most important thing you might care about, a lever, 12~18 inches long, to pull the saw down through the material and ease the amount of force you need. The vice designs are worth seeing, lots of consideration put into making a vice you can saw through without either side moving. I've seen you do a lot of surprising things over the years so I'm not suggesting you buy one. If you decide to build a wooden one, that'd certainly be surprising.
Cool, but as you said in the intro likely we will never build the Gantry..... If you could do some Cool projects..... life application build..... when I think of something HA
And further. From such a thing you can make a "drilling machine" (although it's called quite differently). Instead of a camera, put a drill, some joints are fixed. It turns out a "device" with which it is convenient to make holes in aluminum profiles, for example, when assembling "garage CNC machines".
(ooooh, if you put a welding machine ....)
For a better transition between both rails, you can grind both rails down so the rounded edges are sharp. We've been using similar rails in our 2440x1220mm CNC machine and there's no signs that it's not one continuous rail.
What? No funny outtakes? Marius.... Bruh.... I think a small, internal part of me may have died because of this omission. Please bring back the outtakes!
Nooo…
This is a project l EVER!!! NEEDED !!!!!!!
U R A GENIUS!!!!!
(U Know that ) LoL
Man I wish Marius could upload 1 video a day! His content is so good I get excited every time it pops up in my feed :D
As always, your videos are very precise and very well thought out, love your humor and self deprecating personality you have, always a delight to see a new video from you! Keep up the great work Marius! PS: "Yes I made a drawing for a washer" Absolutely the BEST! LOL
I'd hate to calculate what the manufacturing cost would be at say $50/hr. labor and materials. This project is most definitely a labor of love. Very impressive design and construction. Beautifully made.
Great build with fantastic result. Satisfying project. Keep'm coming!
5:12 I'm going to be laughing at "nicely questionable clamping setup" for DAYS. 😂
I have been a subscriber for years Marius and thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Your attention to detail and the joy you get from enjoying what you do shines through for us all to see. Can't wait to see your next project!
I would say its a little bit "over-engineered" with all its bushings and tolerances for a camera gantry. But I love it! Great Job!
That's awesome! You make some cool stuff. Ilike watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
a replacement for the Nylon washers, could a 3D printer be of use? You could make many of the bushings fairly hassle free, assuming your CAD drawings and the printer settings are correct. Would save time and expense if you need a lot of bushings.
The irony is how much tripod camera work you had to do for *this* video.
True
Personally I liked the bare wood, but that blue is a really nice color and stands out as a nice contrasting pop in the middle of the workshop.
This is currently my second favorite camera crane after Alexandre Chappels studio camera crane build.
Video if you’re interested, I’d highly recommend it because Alex is really good at mixing techniques and technology and engineering to solve problems.
ua-cam.com/video/V9e9ZWflCQU/v-deo.htmlsi=APgQmP_HVXrJaIld
Note: Alex uses 3D printing in his build but mostly it’s made of materials you can buy at a hardware store and he sells the plans and files for you to make one.
Also, his design requires floor space. It doesn’t hang like this one or many other styles.
Hey Marius, I know its already been 8 days since you uploaded this, so you might not be looking at comments anymore, but I just put your name into google to get to your youtube channel, and after putting in your first name, I only had to put in the last two letters of your last name before google was already suggesting your YT channel. Just thought that might make you excited. Thanks for all of your amazing videos. As a viewer, I think you might really love doing a collaboration with the UA-camr Jeremy Fielding.
I'm used to working with MGN9 and MGN12 rails. Those ones you have are chonky.
Marius, those metal blades aren't like wood. The shorter the tooth contact path through the work, the better. Thus the saw dropped all the way down is almost always the best choice.
9:29 yeah, that's massively unsafe. If you sneeze and stick it in too deep, that finger's not gonna survive. Forget degloving, that's a whole hand sausage fest. Lathe rule of thumb: never stick your fingers where you wouldn't stick your weenus. And that's as politely as i can say it. For that operation, you can easily fabricate a stick with a bit of insulation foam wrapped around it and shaped into the shape you need, with the sand paper glued on top. It's a 10 minute fabrication of a custom tool.
Very interesting project, nice work! Reminds me of Alexandre Chappel's 3D printed camera arm
Well done, Marius. That looks like a very usable addition to your shop - looking forward to more of your videos while you put this gantry to work. I have missed the frequency of your videos and hope this means you will get back to uploading videos on a more regular basis.
BTW - how long will it be until you motorize your gantry with wireless remote control so it can follow you around during a build?
I discovered the same, my solution was magnets bitch!
Then a old style desk lamp gives you a 1 meter gantry
Man, I just love your videios and your genious ideas! But using long sleeves while operating a lathe... Man... That could end bad.
#1 piece of advice for youtubers... stop showing your face. this will help 99% of youtubers
love your videos! i recently made an overhead recording setup by duct taping two bricks together with an old amazon box and a tripod taped to the top. this makes me want to build a better setup
I subbed when I saw your oscillating spindle sander. Now I see this project. You are a very imaginative and precise engineer. Keep making these awesome videos please.
This is awesome. Super, super satisfying to watch everything come together... mmmm, serotonin. :)
That is a high quality heavy dudy face whacker if I've ever seen one. You would never have to worry about brushing your teeth again. :)
Was making 32 bushings instead of buying them for precision, price, or enjoyment?
Thank you for the reply. I made a small collector and drop a scrap piece of wood in the bag when empty and fold the top over the rim of the collector. Having a much bigger unit it might be a chalange. Enjoy your clips.
I'm looking forward to when you become a parent and think I can make this toy better 😊. I really enjoy watching you work and your thought process.
The editing at 10:56 is unethical and unsafe. It's going to make beginners think you can just drag pieces sideways which you can't. Think before editing!
WOW
That is amazing!
Also, you deserve waaaay more subscribers!
Thanks for not putting a "subscribe" message in the drawing that you made of the washer ;)
Your creativity is astounding and the tolerance you maintain in a home shop is impressive. Nice project
Wow, what an incredible video. Thank you very much for posting.
So.... how long before Marius adds a lead screw next to the linear rail, with a stepper motor? ... just to add nice tracking shots?
We don’t use slot screws very much in Canada , Roberson square drive #2 😊
brill vid Thank you . But can I ask 4.48 mins in you drill a hole in the ceiling with something to catch the dust where did you get that from Please Thanks
