Building a DIY Overhead Camera Rig
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- We're building a DIY overhead camera rig for our new home studio/UA-cam filming room! If you attempt this project make sure you attach the rig into a stud. Very important, unless you want it to fall down... which you probably don't, that would suck. If you are using a heavier camera consider using a ball head or attachment that fastens the camera more securely to the friction arm.
Friction Arm with Camera attachment:

Happy Sunday! Who watched Star Wars yesterday?
A new hope!!! Yeaaaaa *random horn and dubstep sounds*
didn't watch Starwars but watched EndGame so good.
Me me me me!!
New house setting and spring is having a really good effect on you guys :) Thanks for the good vibes !
Becki and Chris THIS right HERE! This sh** right here is FREAKIN GENIUS!!! Totally love this DIY RIG!!! 💙
i have been having a bad week thanks yall for camera nerding and being humorious ! made my life more awesome
Me and my girlfriend wait for uploads from your channel and Pete's channel quite eagerly and i myself am an aspiring filmmaker. I seriously do not know how are you guys at 115k you guys deserve to grow so much more
HAHAHA that intro. I'm dying. and SO MUCH YES TO THIS--you killed it!
Fantastic and looks neat. Could be a good idea to also tether the camera to the rig too. Would save camera from a distraction where the plate isn't on properly, etc. And maybe someone's head.
Something like a short piece of Dyneema thin rope with a fixed loop on one end (like a figure of 8 on a bight) and a small karabiner on the other (anchor hitch attach). Loop over the rig bar, krab end through fixed loop and pull so attached to rig. The krab end, attach the karabiner to one of the strap camera lug rings.
You could have 2, one for each side of the rig.
That overhead camera is a game changer.. loved it..
Seriously! It's amazing+
Love the large windows in the living room. Must be a joy to sit there.
iraqigeek thanks! It’s my favourite spot!
I really need to do this at my house for my channel. Thank You for the idea.
Becki is sooooo crazy...and funny hahhahahaaa love the end with the alien Joby Selfattack
This is awesome. I do something similar to film myself sewing but I run a cable from my camera to my tablet to use as a monitor and use a DSLR controller app for focus and such. Super handy!
I literally just bought steel piping, nipples, and flanges yesterday from Home Depot! Making a sliding wall/door not an overhead rig, but now that you've mentioned it, looks like I need to get dressed and pick up some more pipe. The overhead I have been using is... held together with hope, dreams, and magic. I used Simple Green to take off the greasy dirt coating on the pipes. I kinda want to paint the pipes more black. But I can't decide if I just want to be lazy and accept the return on that time investment may not be worth it, or if I want to crank up my neurotic-ness and just do it. LOL! What's that sound? Oh yeah, my boyfriend deep sighing in the background again. Thanks for the tip guys!
Jennifer Mantooth Bahaha it looks so good painted! We made table legs three years ago and sprayed them matte black and it looked really nice!
I use this piping for a lot of stuff! Shelves especially! I have also sprayed mine with a non reflective spray paint in black.
Jeremy Fritsch they are so great! We built a kitchen table out of them in Vancouver it was perfect!
Recently, I did bathroom hooks with black pipe. Per the husbee that works in the plumbing wholesale side, plumbers will use alcohol to clean the fittings before using for these type of projects. Thanks for your awesome personality and content!
You guys are just in a league of your own when it comes to vlogging. You inspire me to dream and strive bigger. God Bless from a very small youtube channel:)
Please do a whole review in the voice you were making at the end.
Dunna Did It omg I should totally do that! 😂😂
That reminds me of the Osmo Pocket thumbnail picture! 🙌
Yea, no return now. Joby alien sucked your brain out there in the end and you will sound like that from now on. 😂. No seriously, I hope you recover, it wouldn’t be the same. Love your videos :).
@@BeckiandChris I'm here for this!
Perfect timing as I build out my studio. Thanks for the inspiration.
Man, this makes me want an installed overhead rig so badly!
This is Tech Today oh man it’s so wicked! I’ve never had one before!
you guys are hilarious. I just found your channel and instantly subscribed because I relate so heavily to you becki
Lol awesome face sucker at the end!. Nice job doing a ceiling mount - dig it.
LOL from beginning to end :)). Thanks guys!
I need that! 😂 Need a casey neistat demonstration overhead
You guys are amazing. Your chemistry working together is the best. I’ve been following you guys for while now. Love your content!!
Rony Canales thank you so much! We have a lot of fun working together
Thanks for the ideas! I have a similar situation where I want to shoot down over my workbench. And with an rx-100. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. I've used a similar clamp, and I've used black pipe - just not together. Thanks again for pointing out a simple overhead solution!
Thanks Becki and Chris! Thanks for always inspiring me to bigger and better things.
Love all your DYIs
A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌Absolutely love it! I find myself saying that a lot when I watch your vlogs.🥰🥰🥰 Thanks so much. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 The end!!!
Meliza Hernandez thank youuuu!!!
@@BeckiandChris Of Course!!!! You're so welcome!
This is actually pretty darn cool!!!!
Congrats on passing 100,000 subscribers.
lol... home studio series is happening... I'M HERE FOR ALL OF IT!
Watts ⚡️ hell yeah!!
I ran out of room in my little shop & started hanging ceiling mounts everywhere(even dismantled a slider & screwed it to the ceiling)... I've seen you guys everywhere & finally got around to subbing... Awesome content... have a great weekend... take it easy...
You need to get another friction arm with a monitor!!
You guys freaking rock!!!
Looks amazing guys good job
That ending was truly hilarious...... made even better by my daughter saying “ is she broken?” Ha ha. Without doubt my favourite channel 😎👌❤️
Nice really wanted to see a good setup for an overhead rig🔥
Your drawings are SOOOOOOO neat! Loved it!
That intro was hilarious!
Looks hella amazing you guys! woohoo!!!
Nathan Tung thank you!!
@@BeckiandChris The chemistry between you guys is literally the most entertaining thing to watch. haha.
Nathan Tung 😂😂🙏🏼
So great you guys are doing this! I’m building a studio in my house and I’m excited to compare our builds!!!
You're a gem. Literally the first thing that came to mind from your outro.
Also, that rig is genius. You could also mount your Aputure 120D light up there for DRAMATIC LIGHTING FROM ABOVE. -cue heavenly sound fx-
Lovely intro!! hahahaha. Nice work on the overhead rig!!
Old Lady Angler thanks much!
Both outros were so amazing 😂
Loved Everything about this video lol Mixing quality and comedy the way y'all do is amazing. Gotta build me one of these now for sure!
AnonymousTwoU thank you!!!
Becki and Chris, that setup is so rad! I absolutely LOVE it. Thanks so much for sharing this helpful content. :)
Use Smallrig for RX100 and you can mount the camera and open the battery door at the same time.
This is great!! You can also achieve this by getting a c stand. I got the c stand because I have a drop ceiling in my room. I’ve mounted some pretty heavy rigs and it held up pretty good😉
Gus DaCosta that’s great! Yeah the c-stand is a great non permanent solution. I didn’t want any stands on the floor because the room is small, already had a light stand and tripod and didn’t have much room for a c-stand.
OH.MY.GAWD I'm in love with this whole set-up, wish I could do this in my apartment though :(
Chris throwing out the Fast and the Furious reference. Big ups.
The ending LMFAO! You guys are too much!
Guys!!!! Perfect timing haha, awesome seeing you do your own rig!
Will be doing mine this week ❤️
9:32 "Frankensteined together". I'm working on a ceiling camera/light system for my garage, and my Frankenstein makes your setup look like something from the Jetsons. Black pipe jammed into an upside down piano stand. Super-clamps from my photography days, wires, wicked long carriage bolts (for 1/4" x 20tpi multitaskers), and gaffer tape.
The next video is about dust collection, which can't help but reveal the setup-in-progress, so I'll probably go ahead and include a clip at the end.
BTW... I just came across your channel this week. Your videos about your production process have been immensely helpful. You have also inspired me to bring my previous photography experience into future videos (as well as the unrecorded parts of the upcoming one), so I pulled out the 11 year old 5D mk II and am LOVING the change. Thank you for the inspiration as well as showing your processes.
What mic do you use on your DSLRs? I plugged in a nice Sennheiser wireless lapel mic which works very well! But I'd be very interested to have one mounted to the camera.
nice one guys !!!
Such a fun video!!
This vlog made me geek on multiple occasions!😂😂😂
That D*ck head intro was hilarious!!.... I m a big fan of ur channel.....Addicted!!.. Literally.
M.saqlain younas haha thanks so much!
Chris' laugh was contagious too
hi becki best intro ever
RIGHT!!! HILARIOUS!!!
@@Meliza.Hernandez hi just got home from a friends stag weekend saw your reply
i looked at the video and even knowing how it starts still is so funny
After watching many UA-camrs making content just because of money. This is refreshing
Becki, I hope you release that knife review you teased in the outro! I laughed so hard at that!
luuk341 BAHAHAHA
Last is funny and I liked..
Hey Becki, please do more of the "drawing in a notebook" kinda things. It's just so satisfying to watch that stuff, especially from people who can draw (I obviously can't).
Actually I just binge watched your WHOLE CHANNEL in a week (maybe 2) or so! (this is where I am right now) :O
And I have to tell you all did an amazing job and it's so great to see people (in their early 30s, like me) being so persistent, mindful and creative. #YgenIsTheBest
Thanks for being so inspiring! :)
amazing video, thank you so much this is very helpful
Hahaha deadly video! I love how chill you guys are! My favourite youtubers for sure! Can't wait for the next vid!
Your videos are awesome 👌👍
Aman Yadav thank you!
That’s pretty cool! 😎😎😎
Super useful
Just a FYI, once you degrease the black pipe you removed the anti corrosion layer. It will probably change to a rust color in time.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 great video! I love that dyi idea for an over head camera which you can also use an over head lighting too
Very cool! The new rode wireless go mics work a treat if you want to reduce some of that cabling 😊🖤
This intro xdd better than Petter’s intro
@biocybernaut petter mckinon
this is really inspiring!!! :D Now i want an overhead rig.. Not sure what for yet, but i want one. Also, love the ending clip. haha
You guys are such weirdo's! Love it! My day is made when you upload.
Anthony Horak aw thanks! Haha
Try making a camera train track that goes into all the rooms rc controlled or battery?
Oh - you have the little Paper bag! I mean, of course you have, but it's awesome!☺️
P.S.: the video ends exactly with the 'click' of the knife - ocd😍
That is pretty cold, you call him a DH and he actually looked up in acknowledgment. You two crack me up.
I’m here 2 years later, taking notes
might've just been me but that drawing at 6:10 was pretty sweet i enjoyed it
Thanks for making amazing content I’ve only been a subscriber for 4 months now and it’s been amazing keep it up
Love it keep up the awesome videos you two are so creative. Thanks for sharing God Bless
bahahaha ...your outros make me laugh so much! Thank you for that, I needed a good laugh this morning! (btw, still catching up) 😕
I have to know what mount that was to just snap you camera on?! It was so easy! Maybe I am just a noob and still screw on each individual tripod plate
Yas, been waiting for this!
I have an art channel and need a better way to record over my art desk and this may be something I end up doing.
i used a security cam arm with a gopro but this is a way better idea cuz it's beefier. now i'm ripping it out.
Rad vlog 😂👍❤️
iS tHaT yOuR bRaIn?!?!?! I loled :D Great video, the studio is looking great I can't wait for a tour!!!
The rail could also support LED light panels on similar brackets.
That's a really good idea! I have some aluminum X framing that I am working on doing the same thing but modular so I can move it according to what I am shooting. I want to do some food photography but my tripod isn't fitting that bill currently.
AdamXShoemaker oh that would work great!
@@BeckiandChris thanks, I have so many projects that I am working on right now lol! I have been working in graphic novels drawing and writing, live streaming and trying to figure out how to fit photography and vlogging into the mix as well.
nice!
Aliens ... 😋 The old adage, measure twice do work once... Something like that.
The lens. What lens are you using to get that shallow depth of field? Thanks guys!
I want to hear the audio coming from that direction, also is it possible to connect external monitor to the camera or will you need a different camera
Do you read all comments on your video?
Even if it is in French like Bonjour 👋🏽 comment ça va Becki et Chris, j’adore votre chaîne, ça m’inspire beaucoup ce que vous faites! Vous êtes une référence au niveau création et aussi design d’intérieur! Votre ancien studio avec le mur noir à l’arrière était vraiment top 👌🏽
✌🏽
nKo we try to! I’m gonna have to translate this one though 😊! Bonjour! 👋🏼
Thank you for this info. Please, set the autofocus to the center point next time 🥲
Yes, Chris! Talk medical to me
That intro 😂
Hi Becki, what is the accessory that you used on the tripod for the over head shot. Been trying to look for the type of accessory on my promaster tripod. Can you provide a link please. Thank you.
Best vlogger . / videomaker / on freaking YOUTUUUUUBE! Also: Chris, your still making that wierd noise with your nose. Get it done. Operate yourself your little dr. Evil.
Was this 3/4” pipe or 1/2” pipe? I heard the length several times, but not the width/thickness.
Wow
such a great video! I love it, and wanna build one myself! Quick question, do you guys keep the boxes for lenses and cameras and mics?
