I have something similar clamped to my worktable. The problem I had was to get the camera rigged up properly so that up was up. You showed how it can be done by using the camera cage and mounting the camera from the top. I ordered one immediately. Thank you.
I'm happy to help! I've used this setup for a long time and have never had any issues with it, though I don't consider it perfect. The weak point in this setup is the "magic arm" that holds the camera. I wish it were stronger and more heavy-duty for my very heavy camera. However, it holds the camera perfectly well if tightened enough.
I was using an adapter with a thread size of 5/8" female to 3/8" male. The thread on the stands doesn't go all the way into the 5/8" adapter, but it still holds reliably by utilizing half of the adapter's thread. I tried different adapters and got the same result each time. Most likely, those stands have a non-standard thread.
Hey man. Hope you happen to read this. I am genuinely curious, are affiliate Amazon shopping lists not a thing? I genuinely do not know. If they are, I wonder if they would be helpful. What do you think?
I use Amazon affiliate links for a few reasons. They're short, convenient, and provide quick access to the exact product mentioned in my videos, saving viewers the hassle of searching. Occasionally, they earn a small commission on purchases, though this varies and isn’t a significant income source. To make a living from affiliate links, you'd need millions of views and focus on high-demand products like car accessories, home goods, or beauty items.
@@ElectronicsComputers oh sorry if i caused any confusion. i meant, do you know if it is possible to create your own amazon affiliate list link? you know, how like you can make amazon shopping lists? i wonder if there is a way for you to also create an amazon affiliate link, that contains a list of products, such that you could have a unique single link, alongside all of your links in your description, that itself is one amazon list essentially. showing every product in this video that has an amazon listing. i never really used the amazon affiliate hub, but i remember a video once where someone made an affiliate link like that which led to an amazon shopping list and it made it a lot easier for me to buy a lot of things at once. just was an idea that popped into my head while i was using your affiliate links haha. hope that makes sense.
This is really useful, thank you! This products unfortunatelly aren´t available where I live, but I did found a NEEWER Backdrop Stand which can hold up to 4 kg and is much cheaper than buying these elements separately. Would you say that could work as well as the setup you built?
Well, that depends on what you need it for. I also have a NEEWER Backdrop Stand with white and green backgrounds. That thing is extremely light and flimsy. I use sandbags on the stand's legs so it won't collapse under the background weight, which is not that heavy. In theory, if you attach a small and light camera and the same LED panels that I used, it will work, but you have to put some sandbags on each leg of the stand. There's no way the crossbar from this setup would hold my camera. I mean, it may for some time, but it's too thin and won't last long. You can use different components to build your own setup, but I highly recommend using the same crossbar that I used in the video. It's extremely strong, it doesn't bend with an attached heavy camera, LED lights, speedlights, and other stuff.
@@ElectronicsComputers I would need it for an action camera and a thermocamera which weighs around 1kg and since it said it holds up to 4kg I thought it might be good enough. But thank you for your input! :)
@loona7126 Just give it a try. It should work, but you may also need something like this: neewer.com/cdn/shop/products/90080563_2_3ec87555-c375-4fa7-85be-7d22250669aa.jpg?v=1668484082&width=1200
@@ElectronicsComputers These bags come with the setup :) Perhaps I will be able to replace the crossbar with the one you suggested in case it is not sturdy enough. Thanks again for your help!

Anyone know what thread the sidebars are? I'm struggling with my setup

Just what I need. Thnx a ton man. Very useful ❤
Glad it helped!
