Super Simple DIY overhead Camera Rig

- I am so stoked I took the time to put this together. Figured this idea might help out others who are looking for an overhead camera setup and haven't found just what they want commercially available.
A slider like this would work: amzn.to/3xsAMAC
Here is the dial indicator that I bought or the microphone holder: amzn.to/3IaH64B

Cool to see this. I just finished a rig built over my bench. I modeled it after a portable miter saw stand. So I can attach miter saws, band saws, etc and I can use the pipes for lights and overhead shots.
That's a great idea!!
It's been working quite well👍
Happy your doing videos regularly now!
Thank you so much! I appreciate that👍
I see there's not a lot of comments so I hope you see this although you didn't include the construction of the thing it was a great example and i now don't have the need to go looking at any other videos on the subject thank you I hope you day is going well
Glad it gave you some ideas. Cheers👍
Very nice. Thanks for the video. I am needing something to improve my setup. This idea should work great.
You’re welcome. Thank you for watching and the nice comment! Cheers👍
That's fantastic! I was recently looking for a stand holder for my rotary tool so I could use the flex shaft without just laying the tool on the table. Naturally, all the reviews for everything out there under $70 pretty-much said the stands available were pretty lame. So, I took my vice from my silversmithing days, clamped it to the table, and stuck a random piece of wood I had laying around into the vice, screwed a cup hook in and voila! Instant, sturdy rotary tool holder! Wish I could enclose a picture. What's the old adage... necessity is the mother of invention. Your overhead helper is likely more sturdy and reliable then anything you could have purchased.
Really good idea! Sometimes the best solutions are built not bought. Simple, elegant nice work Jeremy.
Thanks 👍
So going to try to build that great idea 💡 thanks for sharing
Right on! You're welcome and thank you for watching 👍
Looks like a great setup! I've heard you mention your old job doing airport baggage conveyors, cool too a piece from that past used in current projects.
Thanks Nathan! Yeah it’s hard not to be a hoarder when some of the junk I’ve been hanging onto comes in handy 😆👍
Nice set up for your camera.
Thank you!👍
👏👏👏👍👍
Where can I get one of those hats with the beak in the back?
Those are hard to find, very rare indeed 😆👍
Great idea! You know your rig better than anyone, but would it benefit from a small counterweight? Incorporating one should help eliminate any torque placed on the roller bearings caused by the weight of the long boom arm and camera. Cheers.
Thanks! Yes it would benefit from that but then I wouldn’t be as out of the way when not in use. I’m not concerned about the bearings enough to think it’s worth the inconvenience of something hanging off the end. But yeah if this was something I didn’t about being out of the way when not in use that would be a great idea!
@@Simplelittlelife Understood. I was imaging a very short arm (~2-3”) with an eye bolt at the very end and using a small length of chain to hang a cylindrical weight (i.e., round steel stock) to act as the counterweight. If you kept the bottom of the weight above the height of your bench, it should keep it out of your way and still allow you to swing the arm in a 360 degree arc. Just a thought.
What was that outro music it sounds familiar
It's one of the jingles in final cut pro called sprightly. I've been using it for years.
@@Simplelittlelife thanks
