Articulated Camera Arm on Wheels (no more Tripod!) (Plans available)

If you're a Maker or have ever tried to film a DIY project you're probably familiar with this problem: Tripods suck. I was finally fed up with tripods constantly getting in the way of my work, not being able to set up shots the way I want and also having them fall over and risking damage to expensive cameras way too often. So I built a custom camera setup to solve all those problems. With this arm, the camera can be easily moved into almost any position within about a 1-metre radius in front of its base, and the base takes up less floor space than an average tripod while providing a lot more security against tipping over due to the heavy, low base keeping it glued to the ground. It also allows for much more flexible shooting, because you can set up film perspectives like overhead shots, very low shots, filming around/over obstacles and even some moving shots with ease. 🔧 LINK LIST for tools I use in my videos: 📐 PLANS
