Who gives a shit what you look like? The fact that you're holding a camera (to film skiing no less) already makes you look like a dork as it is.

I say make it all out of legos! As long as it works for you...

Okay, so I got really bored today and decided to build some camera accessories.
Inspiration came from youtube and google searching.

First up, my cable cam.
About $25 to make.

Camera Crane
$30

Camera Slider
Been thinking about this one for a couple of months and finally decided to make one. Mounts perfectly onto my 190xprob legs and my 701hdv head.
$45

Hope you guys like them.

(I tried to make a glidecam. It was such a fail that I threw it out- going to buy a proper one!)

do it, but wrap a string around the camera real tight and then take the end and hook it to a carabiner that you hook to the cable, that way if the rig fails, the camera doesn't fall

Threads. Gona build the shoulder mount and hopefully a dolly.

in the process of making a glidecam, iv been through so many drafts i might have to say fuck it and just drop some dough on one that works the way it should.

Threads, crane is sick! I would make a bunch of these but the main problem for me is how the fuck do you get all this up the hill? even with a car getting a crane/slider up the mountain isn't that easy.
