Very nice! I am going to try this myself. The one improvement I would suggest would be using wing nuts or threaded knobs on the boom for easier quicker adjustments.
how tightly can the joints hold? Can I use easier to tighten nuts? Maybe wing nuts and plastic washers would make the joints hold more weight at extended angles.
great idea! i'm just curious that is camera okay with dust from woods??

Very good video, this item is definitely something i need. But I have questions, does the camera stand somewhere in the middle in the air? or does it need a springy system for that? it just looks like it drops down to the maximum length with a DSLR camera. And how can i mount this into a concrete ceiling?
Would you please tell me the measurements of the bolts? I got lost. Where can I find the materials? What a wonderful idea! I cannot wait to make mine!!! Thank you!
I was able to get everything at my local home repair store. Home Depot should have all of these things. You will want a bolt that is long enough to go through all of the metal parts and act like a hinge. (For 1" square tubing I would use 1.5" - 2" bolts)
@@ShadowfallWorkshop thank you for replying! I’m an artist and I want to record my work in progress. Looking for an affordable set up for overhead view. After using this, is there anything you would do to make it better? Was it stable/strong enough to use a middle market camera? Stable/strong enough for good quality videos?
I need to do this in a drywall ceiling. Any suggestions for a sturdy means of anchoring for this? I know the rig is lightweight, but my camera and lens are pretty heavy.
Yes, if you can't find a stud in the ceiling to screw into I would suggest using butterfly type drywall anchors. Try searching "drywall anchor" for options that might work for you.
This build is not really built to do moving shots, so it is a bit shaky when you move it around. The last shot in the video where I pan around the table kind of shows the shakyness (with a small bit of stabilization added) Think of this as a stationary tripod, just on the ceiling.
Exactly what I was looking for. I'm a woodworker and I was finding the vibration through the floor was terrible on camera. I'm hoping this will sort it out for me.
This is a great tutorial. I like how you show everything you need and explain why you do certain things. I'll be making it this weekend. Thanks!
This is one of the better solutions I have seen on UA-cam. You got another subscriber. Good work!

Damn man, scrolled down to see a plethora of comments, but this video is very underrated!
Glad you liked it!
that's a good project. replace the nut with wing nut so you can tighten the joint at any time you want to.
This is a FANTASTIC build! Thank you so much for sharing it!
Glad you like it!
It's a bit outdated and could use a revision. But it's functional!
very nice work ..CONGRATS for your channel .
Nice...well done!!!
nice. i want this ror my cooking show. i wonder if i cad add springs to help it stay in place when i move it?
If you just tighten the bolts the arms stay in place.
@@ShadowfallWorkshop i get it now. Thank you!
Best tutorial for what I was looking to do. Thank you!
Love your production quality! I like ILTMS, and this is the same basic style. Not saying you copied him, just really like it.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks for sharing. Have a wonderful weekend. 👍773 likes.

@@ShadowfallWorkshop Thank you very much!
This is exactly what I needed. THANK YOU!!
Brilliant mate 👍🏻
Are u still using this overhead set up for your current videos today?
We have moved out of that house since then. I have not built a new one yet

I would change the nuts to wing nuts for easier adjustments.
It held well enough for the DSLR that we used.
@@ShadowfallWorkshop thanks! You’re awesome ❤️ I wish you were in my area. I’d have you build one for me lol.
great bro

if you need to make a micro shot, how shaky your contraction?

This is awesome!!
good one. Thanks
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing
This was wonderful! I can't wait to make my own. Do you know roughly how much it was to make?
the most expensive part was the $15 tripod I took apart. Everything else was about $15-$20 I think. I should have put that in the video
Shadowfall Workshop Great! Thank you for responding!

Outstanding work.
I just don't have the tool to cut metal... I may replicate this project with wood.. thank you 😊
U can cut aluminum with a tablesaw, hacksaw, or anything you can cut wood with…it’s soft
Can you make it for me
I find the concept interesting yet I would try to improve the stability
Overall it's well done Thank you
I would agree! Though, image stability only becomes an issue when moving the camera. This is meant to be a "tripod" of sorts.
You are the Macgyver!
Nice build thanks for sharing.
Oh my gosh can you make me one of these? I want to film above me while I dance on top of a canvas! 👍🏼
Fucking Genius. 🏆🏆🏆🏆
omg im here from crearick
Resell the tripod without head.
very cool thanks for the simple build.
