Excellent work, Luke! Honestly, I've had that idea fermenting between my ears for years now, but have never made it happen. First thought, both my initial motivation and note to share, is that this will be completely legal to use in any national park, where drones are NOT permitted for many respectable reasons. Next step is to explore software as well as cable type to best eliminate the distracting line in the footage. I recommend fishing lines, but not aware of best software. Lastly, make it waterproof to route that zipline through a pretty waterfall! Bravo, dude!
So fantastic Luke...I am always amazed at your "creativity outlook" into different, but highly successful photographic techniques...thanks for sharing, Charlie in Central Ohio, but soon to be Central Florida !!
As always creative and top executed. I still wonder why your cideos are so unfmderrated with limited views 🤔 maybe an event or an appearence you need to jump on the level you deserve. Regards from bayern
great video, too bad I don't have the tools needed. Do you think this system could work using two tripods as posts units? this would make it very portable for any scenario.
What cord did you use? I did one of these with R/C servos a few years back and finding cord that didnt stretch, was available in long lengths and wasn't ruinously expensive was the hard part.
MAN! I want one, I will be hiking the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail and Continental Divide Trail, and this would be awesome to film some of the river crossing and climbs. Would you be will to build/sell me one ?
That's so cool! this would be perfect for that. I'm currently working on outsourcing the 3D printing so that I can make the parts available for sale. you'll still have to buy the electrical component and assemble it yourself, but assembly is super easy. Not sure when I'll have it ready, but stay tuned. all post about it on my RUclips community tab if I get it going
All right the 3D printed parts are now available for purchasing from my Etsy shop - www.etsy.com/listing/1770717179/diy-mini-electric-cable-cam you will still need to buy the electrical component separately and assemble it yourself
Yes it will, I've used it with both the Insta360 X4 and even my canon R8. FYI I'm using it with the slow 16RPM motor that is linked in the description. I'm not sure what the faster motor will be capable of, but I have one in the mail that I'll be trying out soon.
that is super fun! loved the quick overview video, yet it still had enough detail so we could try to recreate it. would love to see a future update on how you've used it in the field, tips and tricks. also made me try to imagine one with an arduino or something, so you could program a shot sequence into it...
How long do you think that battery will last if you leave the motor running continuously? I'll probably build this rig, but I can see other uses for that little motor and battery setup.
That thing you 3d printed is not a zip line. Its a trolley. And the entire set up inclluding the "line" is called a Cable Cam. Excellent project, fun results!

Favourite video so far 👍🏻
thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.
Great diy Luke! Nice job
This is awesome for motion time lapses! Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!

Awesome job. I designed one of these 7 years ago and never built it.
What we need now is a remote control and stops at the ends.
Thanks, friend. Now I will definitely do this for myself.
Simple and useful! Good job
Thanks!
That reminds me of my Wiral Lite, except way cheaper and lighter. 👍

thanks! Glad you enjoyed watching. share it with a friend that always helps
Brilliant 👍
What a great idea, wow! I enjoy watching your videos for it sparks creativity for my own projects, thank you, Luke 🤠
Another great one! I love your thinking, the timelapse of the printing process was very cool as well
i envy your the environment
Great idea! I've been thinking about something like this but never got around to doing it. Thanks for the inspiration!
Brilliant add to your collection!
A great device!!! An excellent assistant in the filming!!! And X4 will be able to move, have you tried?
As usual, BADASS!!
Thank you. Great job.
impressive and awesome!
Thanks! glad you liked it.
This is great 👍 I wonder if somehow automatic curtain opener can be put to this use 🤔
As usual: awesome!
Nice!
Perfect, maybe it would be better to put some bearings on the orange pulleys.
Hm. I’ve been planning for making spider cam to my boat shed but maybe I’d start with something like this… 🤔
Have you thought about using a receiver and motor controller for an RC car? Then you can fully control the movement of the cable cam remotely...
great video, too bad I don't have the tools needed. Do you think this system could work using two tripods as posts units? this would make it very portable for any scenario.
This would be perfect for pocket 3. Please please please try it on pocket 3.
NASA needs you 😂

Nice.. as long as you don't look at the corners of the image.
Will it hold something more substantial?
Yes it will, I've used it with both the Insta360 X4 and even my canon R8. FYI I'm using it with the slow 16RPM motor that is linked in the description. I'm not sure what the faster motor will be capable of, but I have one in the mail that I'll be trying out soon.
Nice work congratulations.
I think you’ll notice a big difference with a better camera .

I haven’t timed it, but if I was to take a guess, I would say it can run for maybe between an hour and two hours

gopro available?
Yes, it can hold a GoPro if that’s what you’re asking.
@@LukeEdwin thanks

Zip line for camera.
