DLSR Homemade Rig







So I went to Home Depot a couple of weeks ago and bought some materials for this idea I had of making my own DSLR rig. I knew of course that it wouldn't look nearly as cool as the fancy Zacuto material, but it all goes back to that little thing you and i refer to as cash in hand... I don't have $3000 to spend on a fancy Zacuto rig. But I do have $9.35 to spend on PVC and hardware that would piece together my DLSR rig! It's a three stop shop. hardware, electrical, and plumbing, then you're done! I think i'm going to post a video of how to make it later so that you can see everything step by step... but the fact that i only have like 6 people following this blog makes me hesitate to spend much time on it... especially when half of you are only here for pity, and the other half already know how i made my rig because i've shown it to you like a hundred times already. thats besides the point, here we go
As you can see, i put a piece of heavy duty velcro on one of the arms to attach my audio rig to. other than that, she's a bit ugly, but man is she steady!
