  • We want to start making videos, and having a tripod in the way would be a hassle. So I built this articulated camera mount that comes from the ceiling to that we don't have to deal with that.
    It also completely eliminates any vibration from tools or movement.

    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.

    that's a good project. replace the nut with wing nut so you can tighten the joint at any time you want to.

    • @ShadowfallWorkshop
      @ShadowfallWorkshop  3 роки тому

      I would agree! Though, image stability only becomes an issue when moving the camera. This is meant to be a "tripod" of sorts.

    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?

    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.

      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)

      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

    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.

    • @ShadowfallWorkshop
      @ShadowfallWorkshop  3 роки тому

      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.

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 would change the nuts to wing nuts for easier adjustments.

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

    • @ShadowfallWorkshop
      @ShadowfallWorkshop  4 роки тому +2

      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.
