ToddFun.com: Camera Gantry

ToddFun.com: Camera Gantry Tube. Duration : 30.15 Mins.


Write up and photos at: www.toddfun.com New and improved camera gantry take 2: www.toddfun.com I really hate when I trip over my tripod while shooting blog videos at my bench. Plus it is a huge hassle moving the tripod around for different angles and setups. I realized I shoot my blog videos in my garage and I have an overhead garage door with nice roller tracks that I never use. So I designed a home built camera gantry using my old tripod welded upside down to a little rolling trolley cart. I didn't really like the end result. The sled turned out great but the trolley cart was a bit too chunky and swingy. A new dual rail system with better wheels is currently being built. It will be more stable, smoother, cheaper and simpler construction. Stay tuned for follow up video!
