This project aims to create a do it yourself (DIY) digital single lens reflector (DSLR) video rig that approach the functionality of more professional commercial products.
There are many different configurations of a video rig. The focus at the moment is on a shoulder balanced rig with an offset weight, along with a follow focus system, balanced with one hand grip. This is similar in form to the following commercial products:
It is hoped that as the project progresses we will have a number of different components that you can make at home that are interchangeable and allow for many different configurations.
The files released so far are in OpenSCAD format, which allows us to easily design 3D objects that can be printed on a RepRap Printer.
- Buy the hardware needed (tubing for the rails, nuts, bolts, knobs, etc)
- Print the reprapped parts on a RepRap
- Assemble as desired
