How To Build a Camera Car on a Budget in 2024
This is an in-depth guide on how to build a camera car on a budget. While it's not dirt cheap, it is the safest professional way to build a chase car.
Using my 2015 Porsche Macan S, I mounted speedrail to my thule wingbar, and then mounted a camera stabilizer to my car to create my camera car rig. This has been a great way to solve the question, "how to film cars while driving?"

Edelkrone StandPLUS - An In-depth Review - 2023
Просмотров 10 тыс.Год назад
As fast as it was announced in 2016, the Edelkrone StandPLUS disappeared just as quickly. With many of Edelkrone's youtube comments wondering if it would ever see the light of day, it finally made it's resurgence in March of 2023. Today I do an in-depth review of the StandPlus, and if it can replace a tripod for professional and corporate videographers, as it's marketed at home content creators...

Thanks for this! Also side note, overtime I watch this I feel like Nyjah Houston is doing Canon overview videos, you guys look so alike! Thanks again.
Such a great video! When is part two coming out?
You can simplify your rear hitch connection mounting bars by just drilling a new hitch pin hole that is 90 degrees from the original hole so that it makes the trailer ball flange 90 degrees from normal and that means that your bar clamp will be vertical just like your front. That means that you don't have to have all the additional cross bars to make it vertical
You really want the horizontal bar first so that there is a secondary bar there to create a triangle partially up the vertical speed rail. This is because if the single vertical rail works loose and slips, the other rail is keeping it in place. This actually happened to Jacob from Golden Peaks Productions and his rig hit the pavement. More times it’s about having a fail safe than simplicity.

Great detailed video Robert! Currently in the process of building a rig for my car & this video helped out a lot! Could you share a link for the "Global Truss" clamps you used on your Wingbar Evo or lmk the full name of the specific clamps?

Will this be good for real estate?
I wouldn’t recommend it. It could be used, but could also be more cumbersome when having to move it around between floors than a standard tripod.
@Robert.DeCorah thats funny cause I was at a shoot last weekend and a lot of times it felt like I needed this instead of the standard tripod but thanks for your input
@@juanargueta5988 If every house was wood floors and one level, then this would be perfect. Carpet and stairs it becomes cumbersome
How can you level the camera if you were on don’t even ground? Like tiles.
I wish you ended the video with example shots and using it
If you watch the first 3 minutes you’ll see both of those things.
Showed the highway shots but now the bumpy road. And you in the car working the the system
Can your shoot vertical with it?
Yes, if you get an "L Bracket" for your camera to hold it vertically. They're very cheap on Amazon.
@@Robert.DeCorah cool if I buy one I’ll use your code. Thanks chief! 🫡
How are you able to mount the gimbal to the front without it shutting off at high speeds? My RS2 turns it's motors off over 60MPH when it's front mounted. I assume it does that to protect the motors from overtaxing themselves.
I have only taken mine up to 70 and it's been fine. I actually ended up buying the big DJI R2 gimbal for camera car work, which can handle any speed. lol
@@Robert.DeCorah Thank you for answering my question. That makes a lot of sense
Finally someone who isn't hanging out the back of their 4Runner with a gimbal...Thank you!
What’s wrong with that if you’re on a budget some people can’t afford thousands on these car set ups
@@schrenkmedia I’m not knocking folks who are on a budget, I’m knocking folks who pull stupid stunts that put their indispensable cameras at great risk for no good reason. At this point I’d buy an osmo pocket 3 for roller shots. It’s not cheap, but I’d rather lose one of those any day over my primary camera.
I hang out the back of my 4Runner all the time haha, but definitely looking at getting a setup like this in the near future.
Thank you for your extensive review! My frequent use case is to photograph hundreds of specimens in showcases in exhibitions and museums. Since the specimens are on shelves at different heights using a tripod is really tedious and so the StandPlus seems a good solution for this, right? Unfortunately these showcases have shelves from 0 to 70“ and the standplus max height is 60.2“ and the specimens should often be photographed from a higher position. How could the height of the StandPlus be increased? What would you recommend? Thank you for your time and expertise!
Anything you do to increase the camera height for the taller specimens, will subtract that same amount from how low it can go. So if thet are 70", and you want to shoot them from slightly higher, than you would want to add 14-18" to the stands height. This means that if you put the standplus as it's lowest setting, add 14-18" to that number. Would it still work for what you do if that were to be the happen?
@@Robert.DeCorah Thank you for your quick reply. I think I could live with a higher minimum height. What would you use to increase the height?
@@olivierr01 What camera/lens combo are you using? Is it heavy?
@@Robert.DeCorah nikon Z6 (664g) + Macro MC 105 (630g; or other lighter lenses). I often do focus stacking, so it should be stable…
@@olivierr01 maybe if you try adding something like this between the StandPLUS and your camera? amzn.to/48NQx5l
so sick
🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
where can I watch the second part of the video?
I will make one when it's warmer. Sorry for the delay!
Have you had a chance to checkout the proaim ultra? I'm curious how it compares to the v530
I haven’t used it. Looks like they’re using a shock as the main dampener instead of a spring. I honestly have no clue how much of a difference that will make. Wish I could be of more help…
@@Robert.DeCorah You’ve already helped me plenty!
I’ve talked to you several times over FB and you’ve helped guide me. It’s cool to see your YT is just as helpful
Much appreciated for the kind words! Excited to see what you’re able to do!
Love this detailed video!! I am friends with Jacob and he has also recommended this proaim arm to me as well. There are barely any vides on the web for the arm, so this was fun to watch in detail. I plan to run this similar setup soon. You should make a part 2 if you get a chance!
Appreciate the kind words! I was gonna do a part two but then I sold the Porsche for a truck and then it got 30 below. lol. I'll make an interior build video in the next month or two when it's warmer!
@@Robert.DeCorah Where can I reach out for more questions?

Thank you!!
Appreciate you watching!
I just bought the tilta hyra alien camera mount rig and after doing one shoot the whole system fell. luckily my gear is still in tact and works but after seeing this I am building it this way. Love the video
Oh man! Sorry to hear that! Suction cup mounts can be fine, but you. Have to really know proper mounting techniques. They have to be checked very often, and have to be ratchet strapped to the vehicle. You also have to prep the surface, and always keep the suction cups covered when not in use. You’re also limited on what parts of the vehicle you can attach it to. That said, hopefully this guide gives you some direction going forward !
This is nothing more then a gimmick! It contains the same amount of metal, does the same thing as a tripod. Nothing more then a very expensive gimmick, NO THANKS!
What head have you mounted on the manfrotto?
How much was the total build? Do you have a list of prices?
If I was just going off the back or front, and not both simultaneously, it would roughly break down to the following. Everything is linked in the description. (3) 6’ Black Speedrail = $300 (1) 4’ Black Speedrail = $80 (6) Swivel Clamps = $240 (3) Single Clamps = $75 Hitch extender = $30 (2) Anti Vibration Plates for hitch = $40 ProAim Arm = $1,500 RS2 = $600 RS2 Base Expansion Kit = $500 Then you just need a long HDMI to run the camera to the inside and hook a monitor up to the hand control that comes in tge RS2 base expansion kit.
Awesome! Bring on part 2 🎉👏
🤘🏽
Amazing video and super comprehensive! If I could add something that might be helpful to others running an RS2 in this type of setup would be to plug everything thing in before connecting to the V-Mount battery. I learned the hard way frying two RS2s before learning the proper protocol. The RS3 Pro was not susceptible this way but I would follow that same protocol going forward. Also, your GPS module tip is spot on! Works even better on the RS3 Pro with the upgraded motors. Footage is super steady.
Appreciate the feedback and helpful tip!!
Hey I hope you see this and get a chance to reply before this weekend. Haha…I’m gonna be running my rs2 this weekend but with the hydra. I believe the connection to gimbal for power is essentially the same deal so I was curious about the power up sequence that you follow now. Are you plugging all things on the gimbal into the gimbal first and then sending power to the gimbal with the lemo to d-tap cable? For context, I have the v-mount plate for the rs2 that replaces the original mounting plate on the gimbal itself. I usually power my camera via the 2 pin lemo on that v-mount mounting plate but it seems like there are possible points of failure with various devices and their power draw.
@@yochanders correct. Everything is powered via a v mount that is on the arms cheese plate using a Lemo to D-Tap.
Greatly enjoyed the video. I totally gonna do a budget, budget version with my wife’s Kia Telluride hahaha 😅. I like the insights from the video. Might have to come up with a reason to build something like this. I made a stabilizing arm from scratch a few years ago. Maybe it time to start V2 in 2024.
Hell yea!
Really love how in depth this video is, loads of information! Been researching and thinking of getting the smallrig SC-15K which is a suction mount style, but in the future a full rig is definitely the goal! Very surprised that your channel isnt huge! its great quality stuff mate
Suction is DEFINITELY cheaper and quicker, although you MUST ratchet strap it to the car as a fail safe. I’ve seen videos of suction cups losing suction and arm with cameras get destroyed. The ratchet strap will prevent it from hitting the road if that were to ever happen. Appreciate you giving it a watch!
@@Robert.DeCorah 100% Will tie it down, dont want to risk it any more than it needs to be!
Just got a tilta hydra alien with an rs2 as a budget entry to these shots and this video alone contains more info than hours of other tutorials, thank you for the detailed explanation Also kudos for keeping in the mistake of the bar falling, helps remind us that mistakes happen and it's ok
Really appreciate the feedback. I almost got the Tilta arm, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with rocking it. I was just personally uncomfortable with suction only, as you should check the cups frequently, and I’m too lazy to. 😂😂
I’m sure the vertical option will be coming in the next version

Oh man, that point you made about how regular tripods make it difficult to set up shots and as a results I've been lagging with my content really resonated to me and now I really need this tripod. I'm actually going to get it now. Thank you. I've been putting off content because I've always hated setting up the tripod so this thing really something that I needed.
Glad it helped! It’s definitely a game changer for content creation. It doesn’t replace a tripod for me on professional shoots, but it allows me to just make content.

I’ll “stick” to my tripod. Intrigued by it, but not practical for my use cases.
I've realized that I prefer my tripod when on location, and doing anything typical production related, and I prefer the StandPlus when I'm doing social content stuff.
@@Robert.DeCorah , I can see this being used in my classroom to help me shoot tutorial videos for my students and my RUclips channel. But, the price point and instability of micro movements are my two major concerns. 🙂
Thank you so much for convincing me not to add this overpriced gimmick to my collection. I was thinking "oh i can get a smooth vertical pan from almost floor level to head height in one mechanical motion AND do overhead shots for cooking?" NOPE. Too good to be true. Your review was great. I guess there's no real solution to the vertical movement unless I actually buy a cinematic tool like some type of track? My friend is a boxer and he wanted me to shoot a shot for his promo where it starts at his boxing shoes (closer up) and the shot rises vertically until it's at eye level. I guess I could try to jerry-rig my camera to a vertical PVC pipe with a slider or something to keep the shot/motion in line.......
Solid insight on building a dedicated car rig 🔥
Appreciate it! It’s a long video, but it’s everything I was looking for when trying to build my rig, so hopefully it helps someone! Thanks for watching!
Would love to see more shots from the setup!
I got this in 2 hours ago and wanted to like it… but the metal rollerballs are extremely loud and let out an ungodly screech anytime I move it around on my tile floor. Nails on a chalkboard screech x10. I could normally deal with this… but it is crazy LOUD. Even a family member asked me not to move it around. Expected more for the premium price tag.
Sorry, just seeing this. I wonder if a piece of metal or something got trapped inside the ball bearing housing? Did you ever figure it out? Mine did not make any noise, and I'm sure they would replace it if you reached out. Curious to hear if the problem persisted?
Thanks for this video. Well detailed. Now I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't add manual locks to friction points. Has any other brand created an alternative yet?
Sorry for the late reply. Just now seeing this. There was a chinese manufacturer that made something similar, but it's not as clean or streamlined as the StandPLUS. That said, it did have better caster style wheels that made moving it around outside much better. They sent me one, but I don't think they started selling it in the US yet.
@@Robert.DeCorah could you tell me brand please, thank you.
More freelancers need to realize this. Loved the encouragement!
Hi! I can't seem to use your standplus link. I would like to support you since I am keen to get it but the link does not seem to work presently.
I just tried it and it worked for me. Try checking out and using "AjaxMedia" as the promo code! Thanks for the support!
Hi interesting tripod ivread most ofcthe reviews looking for tilting camera vertically . I noticed some suggestions by adding another heads . Can you please make a nother review video about the head part possible attachments ? That will help alot of us to make a decision to buy it confidently 😂
This is really helpful thank you so much 🥰❤️
Which maintenance is more efficient when comparing Glide Gear OH 100 and StandPLUS for vertical shooting?
Thank you for the review. Would you say this product is suitable for vertical shooting?
It definitely is. You just need an L-Bracket to mount it and you’re good to go!
@Robert.DeCorah Can I use a smartphone holder instead of L-Bracket to mount high-end smartphones?
I just bought one so I hope it works out good for my workflow. Thank you for the review.
how did it go?
@@AndresArosemena Its nice, bit heavy, but works well. I'm not too happy about the steel balls on the bottom of the unit because they don't allow for good smooth movement. Other-than-that, it's an impressive piece of kit.
@@lshep9728 awesome, thanks for the reply!
This is awesome. I have a bad habbit of buying stuff then watching reviews but I was essentialy looking for a quick deployment tripod and they are a pretty penny. This popped up and knew it was the one. I do videos of cars I work on so I need to get quick B roll shots since I also dont want to sabotage deadlines. Usually I'll have my employee hold my gimbal but then I pull him from the job. Im just hoping it works well on my floor since i have that ribbed Racedeck flooring. If anything will hold it more in place.
Another great tip Robert. These vids are CLEEAAN
hey rob, I don't think I have a choice, I just have a 5dmk2
This is so true. I feel like people are under the impression that if the content doesn’t get millions of views or viral, that it underperforms. I don’t see it that way. I’ve never gone “viral” but as I am more consistent, my engagement and following has definitely increased.
Just ordered it, can you suggest a GOOD PADDED case for it? Also any idea on maybe some rubber FEET COVERS? 🤷🏻♂️
I haven't traveled with it, so I don't have anything in particular I can recommend. I just fold it up and put it in the corner.
