Hi Jay P. some great ideas here! I would put the magnet inside one of those thick party balloons to avoid scratching anything
Wow, that's a great idea for the scratching! Thanks!
Great! Only a minor tip: 3 pads are a bit more stable than 4...
Thanks for your tip and thanks for watching!
It's great seeing DIY grip equipment getting some attention! I make the low mount rig frequently for cameras and lights. One thing I also do is use carriage bolts and t-nuts to put levelers on the corners of wood plates. Works for camera plates, platforms on set, shooting tables, just about anything.
Great idea! Thanks for sharing your tips!
Thanks for posting these great ideas. Very helpful.
You are so welcome! Thanks for your comment!
Really great ideas here. Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
I love the idea of having a rig in my kit that will allow me to get my camera in those tricky places to capture the creative angles. I really like the idea of using the magnet to get those really creative shots. Thanks again for all your and your crew do to give us inexpensive DIY solutions.
Glad you enjoyed the video Andy. Hope you are doing well!
😆 love it!!!!
Glad you liked it. Thanks for your comment!
Great hacks!
Glad you think so. Thanks for watching!
Years ago I used an old metal mixing bowl my wife was throwing away. Just mounted the bowl upside down. I have jars of mix screws & bolts, so it didn't cost anything.
Wow, that is a unique one we haven't tried. Thanks for sharing!
Jay P is the best! ✊🏼🤙🏼
Thank you Dennis! I appreciate that!
Nice! :)
Glad you liked it Sina! Thanks for your comment!
I found a TV wall mounting plate at a yard sale that I use for a couple bucks. It's about 8" x 8", super sturdy (holds a TV!!) so it can handle any rig, including a super zoom. Under $20 new.
Wow, great find! Thanks for sharing the idea!
I like the magnet idea for cars...I never really trust the suction mounts. Maybe a small, thin cloth between the magnet and vehicle to keep from scratching?
We had that same idea but we didn't test it.
Jay P, I just purchased a very costly chrome steel wall plate with a Rt-angle Baby Pin for a low-angle mount. Ouch! Works great but I'm still head-slapping myself for not walking through the hardware store first like you did. Slap-slap. Ouch. If I had waited until you posted this DIY video I would have more $$ in my pocket and some fun at my work bench. Thanks for the how-to!
Ouch it right! Next time you can start at the hardware store!
I have a mini tripod with legs that open out flat so that I can shoot from ground level but also extend up to 18½". The angles of the legs are individually adjustable for uneven surfaces and I only paid about $39 (on Amazon) complete *with* a ball head that is Arca-Swiss quick-release compatible. Your $10 DIYs fail to mention that you needed to buy a ball head. A decent ball head runs at least $30 these days. And what's the point of the narrow part of the hinge? A simple flat piece of metal would do as well. Plus my mini tripod is easy and convenient to carry. RE: the magnet. Put a thin plastic shopping bag (the kind that are now banned) under the magnet to stop scratches.
Good points. Thanks for your comment!
Why using an expensive hinge where a simple and cheap connector is enough? Do you plan any mods making use of the hinge?
Just using it as is. Thanks for watching!
Is it such a good idea to put a strong magnet in close proximity to SD cards?
My thoughts too. (I don’t think it’s recommended)
The things we read said it wasn't a problem. Something to do further research on.
Be careful, don't use a magnet that's too powerful, you couldn't take it off the metallic surface. And the magnetic field could mess with your camera's electronics. I'd use a magnet that would support twice the weight of my rig, just to be safe.
We didn't have any problems with the camera. Something to research, but the things we read said it was not problem.
