    BECKY STERN'S VIDEO:
    • GH5 Foot Pedal Shutter...
    You've probably notice more dynamic camera work in the past few months. My friend Josh is working with me and shoots all of my videos. He noticed that it would be way more comfortable and consistent if the DSLR camera we use had a camera stabilizer.
    The basic concepts behind this camera stabilizer is that it will be light, sturdy, and comfortable. I had some aluminum C-channel laying around that I decided to use as a rigid yet lightweight platform to build upon. To determine the length of the base, I measure the camera with the view screen open and placed my hands a comfortable distance to either side. Aluminum can be cut using standard wood tools and blades, so I used the miter saw to chop the C-channel to its final length. Rather than the camera rocking forward and damaging any lenses, I made sure to balance the camera on the base front to back. This required an additional aluminum plate because the camera's center of gravity sat behind the C-channel. Some pop rivets were used to secure the new plate to the base and added a wooden spacer underneath. As a result, the whole assembly sat flat on a table and didn't topple over.
    Most notably, here at I Like to Make Stuff, all of our cameras are retrofitted with quick-release attachments made by Joby. Each tripod has an articulating Joby receiver so that we can effortlessly move cameras around the shop without worrying about mounting compatibility. The camera stabilizer is no exception; our DSLR cameras had to be able to switch from the new camera grip back to the tripods in an instant. We decided to mount a Joby attachment to the new camera grip using a 1/4-20 bolt. Since we accounted for the camera's center of gravity in the previous step, it was really easy to drill a 1/4 inch hole through the extra plate and hard mount the Joby receiver. While all of my cameras are equipped with mounts, most cameras have a 1/4-20 threaded insert on the bottom so you can bolt the camera directly to the base.
    First, we measured how high the grips needed to be. I decided that the grips should be tall enough so that the camera was centered vertically when placed in the mount. Next, we determined the grip shape. We experimented with PVC pipe to save weight, but the diameter was too thin and felt weird when we held it. Once again, I used the lathe to turn two cylindrical grips out of some scrap mahogany. As I carved away material, we kept checking the cylinder by hand until we got a comfortable size. After a few rounds of sanding on the lathe and some decorative finishing work, I drilled and tapped a 1/4 inch hole on the bottom of each piece using the Wood Whisper's Thread Taps. After a coat of spray lacquer had dried, we attached the hand grips to the aluminum base with some more 1/4-20 bolts.
    Josh made a point that the camera stabilizer should have an embedded way to operate the camera so that you wouldn't have to awkwardly fumble around to press the focus button and begin recording. After a quick Amazon search, I found a really inexpensive remote that plugs into the DSLR and has a single button that does both of those tasks. We measured where on the hand grip the remote should go and decided that the button should face forward like a trigger. I then used my drill press and some chisels to hog out a space in one handle for the remote to sit. Furthermore, Josh shortened and rerouted the remote's control wire so it didn't get in the way when shooting. The remote was firmly press fit into the hadn't grip and it works great!
    In conclusion, widening out the camera posture is more comfortable and makes for more stable dynamic shots. This was a really fun one-day build and I encourage you to find quick, simple solutions to problems in your life.

    A few people disagree that this is a stabilizer (but I think they're thinking of an active stabilizing gimbal). Given the definition, I think even a table could be considered a stabilizer. Also, if you search camera stabilizer on amazon, you'll see a lot of results that are are similar passive/grip options.

      Jun Hong you could buy the Handles from Home Depot and make the middle out of wood. Again at Home Depot. Have every thing cut to length in the store and you just have to nail it together at home. To total cost would be many 25 dollars

      all you really need is a hand drill, a sharp knife, a lot of patience and a bit of ingenuity. Optionally if you decide on using aluminium, a hacksaw would be a god send.

    Lastly, you & Josh make the visual part of the presentation the icing on the cake.
    And thank you to SimpliSafe for sponsoring this video.

    Made my own version after seeing this video from PVC pipe and bike hand grips. Definitely noticed the difference, particularly in getting the horizon to stay level. Appears to work well on flat ground but more challenging walking on rocky or uneven ground. Comfortable to use as well. thank you Allen

    Camera workflow is so important, but most people never see it and never understand until they have to do it themselves. Nice and simple stabilizer! I've made plenty of camera gear over the years. Looks good you two!

  • @TheEveryMaker
    @TheEveryMaker Před 6 lety +2

    That's awesome! This is the same kind of design they used for the steady cams in "Evil Dead." They just used a long board with a rope attached at either end that would sit around their necks, but the basic concept is the same. Yours, I would say, looks a hell of a lot nicer though!

    I have some old road bike handlebars that had a 3/8 thread on top for their kit reflector, so I put a 3/8 to 1/4 adapter and screwed the camera right on. It's served me well but this looks easy enough to make that it might be time to retire the ol' bike grip.

    You won't believe me but I was thinking of making some videos and was watching a lot of videos to make a stabilizer. None of them interested me. I was like, "Hey, let's see if bob makes anything." I checked he did one earlier and I made that but it was too big for me. This is more compact and I'm gonna start working on this from tomorrow. Thanks, Bob!

    "inexpensive" and you use a lathe, a table saw, a belt grinder, a drill press, ... i doubt that more than 5% of the people watching have even 2 of those tools lol.

  • @natelarge
    @natelarge Před 6 lety +5

    You can strengthen the wooden threads in the handles by coating them with super glue. The glue will soak into the wood and hard the threads making them less likely to strip.

    • @Al.j.Vasquez
      @Al.j.Vasquez Před 6 lety +1

      Nate Large - Woodworking DIY & More superglue would be overkill, maybe just white glue is enough, just in case that you need to do something to the handles and you need to unscrew them off.

    • @natelarge
      @natelarge Před 6 lety +3

      good point, let me clarify. Applying glue to the internal threads of the handle will harden them so that they are less likely to strip. Wait until the glue is cured to screw the handle on to the metal bolt so that you do not accidentally glue the handle on to the bolt thereby allowing it to be removable. I think super glue is good for this purpose because it soaks in easily, thicker glues might bead filling the thread or taking longer to cure and causing the wood to swell. How does that sound? I would love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

  • @Sonal_Mobile
    @Sonal_Mobile Před 6 lety

    Great Project! It's simple enough to do with hand tools (don't have a lathe? buy a dowel or re-purpose a broom handle) and it's functional. I think 141 people wanted this to be gyro-stabilized ;)

  • @ericmichel9418
    @ericmichel9418 Před 6 lety

    Attaching this stabilizer by a strap to your body will provide even more stability. Ie. a neck strap or shoulder strap, any strap that will create a 3 point anchoring point. Hope this makes sense. If you film with a dslr, put on your strap and stick it out far making the strap around your neck tight by stretching out your arms. This really works. :)

  • @MidnightMaker
    @MidnightMaker Před 6 lety

    Great project! Nice to see/hear Josh in front of the camera. When counter-boring, I always start with the larger Forstner bit first, then use the divot it creates in the center for the through hole with a brad point bit. That way you know it's perfectly centered.

  • @MrWizzardx3
    @MrWizzardx3 Před 6 lety

    Bob,
    Lathe tip, you can save your self a bit of time and finishing if you turn both at the same time. If they fit, don't cut the blanks apart until after you've shaped them on the lathe. You can even use the parting tool do to the separation.

  • @CarlosAlexandreRossini

    I have a hint for you, Put two rubber washers on the bolt that holds the wooden rods, One between the bolt and the aluminum bar and another one between the aluminum and the wood, this will make it work as a vibration damper, You can use some layers of softer rubber!

  • @photorockbar471
    @photorockbar471 Před 2 lety

    To make it even easier to make, one can just bend 1/8" x 3/4" flat stock aluminum. Bending the flat rod makes a handle. That's what we did when working on a photo project for Photo Rock Bar.

  • @chrisjohnson6482
    @chrisjohnson6482 Před 6 lety

    Small note, if you counter sink before drilling the through hole, you'll be sure that the hole is centered in the counter sink. As you did it, you had to rely on luck and eyeballing it, which didn't matter here but in some cases might.

    @yudy92 Před 5 lety

    You got really good content, it's easy to understand and fun. It's not the wood or the metal that's hard to come by... it's all the tools that you require in order to work on the materials lol. most peopel can't afford the space and money for all these construction tools. that's the part that would help us, being able to do all of this work with 1 or 2 tools that you can store and work in an apartment, or at least somewhere outside in the neighborhood.

  • @TechnicalGamingChannel

    you could make something of a stabilizer by attaching rubberbands to the camera, anchoring them to the handles, and loosening the tripod head a bit. It'd buffer hard moves pretty well going forward and back.

  • @CaribooDirect
    @CaribooDirect Před 4 lety

    This IS a "stabilizer", folks. Why it works is a matter of basic physics:
    The further your hands are from the "center of rotation", lets say (in other words, from the camera), the less impact any hand-shake will have ON the camera. If you have one of the longer Gorilla Pod type tripods, you can get the same (more-or-less) effect by leaving one leg hanging, and bending the other two out to the sides (with an up-turn at the ends) as handholds (bending them in such a way as to get your hands as far out as possible).

  • @WayofWood

  • @MrFalcon1212
    @MrFalcon1212 Před 6 lety

    Hey Bob! I'm a professional steadicam operator in the film business. Just wanted to weigh in and say if your device helps stabilize the image even 1%, well then you got yourself a stabilizer haha. One concern I have with your design is the Jobi head your using. This might not be an issue because of your filming style, but that head is not meant for that type of use and is very weak. It's possible you will see vibration in the image when walking around with the camera. I could see a future upgrade to this being a more robust mounting platform. You might not have any issue with it, it is a very small camera. If your seeing vibrations, thats your problem.

    The remote inset into the grip was an extremely nice touch. Great project, Bob. Questions... do you have a bandsaw blade dedicated only for your brass/aluminum cutting? Is there a concern about how metal shavings will affect the saw or dust collection?

    Team Lumix! I'd love to see some video production stuff (how do you plan, shoot, edit. What's the workflow? What have you learned through the years?), maybe on the second channel?
    Cheers!

    Can we see examples of video footage before and after when using this rig?

    Hey bob ! French fan here. Do you have some shoots with and without this stuff ? Just to see and appreciate the difference. Thanks !

    Great project! Used lots of different techniques and tools, but still very achieveable.

    I saw a tutorial for a steady cam with was essentially a pipe with weights on the bottom and a camera Mount on the bottom so simple but effective

      Yup, I've got a video on that as well, from a couple of years ago. 👍🏼

    You drew a smiley face on the dowel prior to cuting it on the miter saw!

    That's a cool project. Do you find those wood thread taps easy to use? It looks simple, but I'm worried I'll somehow mangle the connection by drilling at a slight angle.

    It so convenient to have those tools.

    cool build Bob, didn't think you would need an alarm system, pudding gun, wooden sword, prime laser cannon, I pity the fool who sets that alarm off. :)

    If you don't have a lathe you could use properly sized dowel , in either plastic or more popular wood.

  • @jaew6525
    @jaew6525 Před 5 lety +1

    Considering either the tools required, or the cost of an expert skilled enough to make this, this is probably the most expensive option out there. Also, the commercial in the middle is excessively long. Neither of the above two options is practical for most people, I would assume. Still, it is well made - both the video and the accessory.

    @jmakes3745 Před 6 lety

    Perfect timing Bob! I've been wanting to make a camera stabiliser for vlogging/shots when I'm out and about for ages now and breaking down into such simple steps has given me the motivation to get it done :) One question - how did you get the remote trigger, to activate the record button, instead of simply taking a photo?

    • @Iliketomakestuff
      @Iliketomakestuff  Před 6 lety

      It just does it when the camera is in video mode 👍🏼

    • @jmakes3745
      @jmakes3745 Před 6 lety

      You got any idea how to get your camera in this mysterious video mode? ;) I’ve use a Nikon so it might not have the same feature :(
