    PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING as a lot of things are being repeated:
    -Yes, I've seen just about every other alternative on RUclips with ceiling mounted systems, trolley systems, clamp arm systems, and floor systems.
    -Yes, three casters instead of four will be more stable. I evaluated using a triangular base but it would increase the minimum width of the base. Using four is not a problem.
    -Yes, if I mount the arms on the right side of the carriage bolt gravity would cause it to tighten if it falls and therefore be less likely to fall. I totally know what you're talking about. But I can't stand to have the arms on the right due to the way I interact with the camera and swivel mount. That's one of the reasons why I added the bungee cord. For situations where it might be a danger to someones safety if it loosens I'd definitely move it but in this case I'll live a bit on the wild side.
    -This is the spray I talked about using: amzn.to/2gPUH2I
    -After editing the video and working with this in the shop for a day the carriage bolt ended up stripping out. It was a cheap, low grade bolt. I replaced it with a grade 8 bolt and it's working great. Just thought I'd throw that out there if you end up making something similar.
    Have a good day!

    • @virtualfather
      @virtualfather 7 лет назад

      which carriage bolt?

    • @ALWhiteAuthor
      @ALWhiteAuthor 7 лет назад

      Did the carriage bolt strip out of the walnut or did it strip the threads that attach to the quick mount? If it's stripping out of the walnut, some Devcon two part epoxy is your friend. It's what we knife makers use to attack wood to steel in the case of handle scales. I'd imagine it'd hold that bolt in place quite well. If the threads are stripping from the bolt, well you already know the problem then, if that's the case.

    • @JayBates
      @JayBates  7 лет назад +3

      The t-nut destroyed the threads on the carriage bolt.

  • @frankmakes
    @frankmakes 7 лет назад +14

    Nice, that looks really useful Jay, I might just have to do something like that

    • @JayBates
      @JayBates  7 лет назад

      Thanks, Frank. We would love to see your take on it suited to your shop needs :)

  • @JohnHeisz
    @JohnHeisz 7 лет назад +11

    Well done! A lot more practical than my gantry, that's for sure.

    • @HouseOfHacks
      @HouseOfHacks 7 лет назад +4

      The thing I like about your system though is it 1) doesn't take any floor space and 2) seems like there's a lot more flexibility in camera positioning. It be interesting to see a quick followup on lessons you've learned having lived with yours for awhile.

    • @JohnHeisz
      @JohnHeisz 7 лет назад +5

      House of Hacks Thanks. Maybe I'll do a quick video on my second channel.

    • @JayBates
      @JayBates  7 лет назад +1

      Yes, a video on your second channel would be great. But for everyone else recommending it to me keep in mind that my garage has a span of 20 feet in either direction which isn't that great with a gantry system.

    • @HouseOfHacks
      @HouseOfHacks 7 лет назад

      That'd be cool +John Heisz.

    • @HouseOfHacks
      @HouseOfHacks 7 лет назад

      Just to be clear +Jay Bates, I didn't intend to denigrate your design. There's nothing wrong with it. It's a great, easy to implement solution for your needs.

  • @ChrisCorpse669
    @ChrisCorpse669 7 лет назад

    This is something I will probably never build. Yet I watch the entire video and learn so much. You sir are a fantastic teacher.

  • @chrisgriego549
    @chrisgriego549 7 лет назад

    I like the versatility and the simple design. Looks like a great solution for your needs and easy enough for someone else to adapt to their needs.

    That moment when you tested the camera dropping I was thinking, "don't do it, don't you dare do it", haha. Very happy it survived

    • @JayBates
      @JayBates  7 лет назад

      lol. My hand was definitely under it to catch it the first couple times I tested it.

  • @Wigmaster1527
    @Wigmaster1527 7 лет назад +1

    Being a part time photo guy and part time woodworker I REALLY enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for taking the extra time out to video your projects, big fan here.

      Videos 1-99 were shot with a Samsung Galaxy S1 cell phone. Videos 100-271 were with a Canon T3i with either the Canon 10-17mm lens or the Tamron 17-50 f2.8 lens. This video and for the foreseeable future are with a Sony A6500 with the Sony 18-105 lens.

  • @CatholicWoodworker
    @CatholicWoodworker 7 лет назад

    It's interesting watching you build from scratch a product that significantly improves your work flow efficiency. It was great having you talk through all the reasons why you made certain choices and the engineering behind certain design aspects. Thanks for sharing Jay!

    • @JayBates
      @JayBates  7 лет назад

      Thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated.

  • @Barrysworkshop
    @Barrysworkshop 7 лет назад

    Nice work, Jay. I've come to the conclusion that a tripod is designed for a different set of constraints than what we need in the shop. Having a smaller footprint is a HUGE plus, and since it doesn't need to leave the shop, it doesn't need to be light, just move-able. The articulating arm is also a huge advantage. I made one for my tripod QR and while it's only about 18" long, it makes a huge difference. Nice video, and thanks for sharing!

  • @indoorherbivore
    @indoorherbivore 7 лет назад

    Pretty slick solution. Lucky that todays cameras are not too heavy. Back in the day, I operated a 4x5 Linhof view camera that weighed around 25 pounds. Not a speck of aluminum in it, all steel components. Sandbag counterweights were a requirement. Good to see a modern solution to a modern problem. Nice work.

  • @stxrynn
    @stxrynn 7 лет назад

    If the wobble starts to bug you, move one of the casters to the hardware drawer and move the other to the center of the side it's on.
    This really answered an issue I was looking at as well. I think mine will be on a chuck storage rack, that should hold it to the floor quite well!! Good build, thanks for the ideas.

  • @KyleBruns
    @KyleBruns 7 лет назад +1

    At 15:40 when you dropped the arm my heart skipped a beat. Great build.

  • @TheWora1
    @TheWora1 7 лет назад +2

    Hey Jay, you have demonstrated once again than engineering is not a degree which can only be obtained from a university, its a process and a method of thinking to analyze and solve problems. Nice work.

  • @geneaguilar4424
    @geneaguilar4424 7 лет назад

    Very smart idea! I like that it doesn't take up as much floor space like a tripod does. Thanks for sharing your idea. Gene

  • @turbocobra
    @turbocobra 7 лет назад +1

    Gamechanger! All of us youtube creators need something like that, my tripod has fallen so many times it's barely adjustable. I wanted to do something similar but have it counterweighted to offset the extension arm, and have a small ladder built into the counterweight area to climb up to adjust the view finder for the overhead shots. Also incorporate a 12V car battery into the base for extra weight to run some 12V DC LED's for extra light. Thanks for this!

    • @MaxMakerChannel

  • @aroundhomediy
    @aroundhomediy 7 лет назад

    Very cool and super useful! If the 4-wheel wobble gets annoying you might could just throw on a leg-leveler or make one similar to the knob you made to secure the arm onto the pole.

  • @MaxMakerChannel
    @MaxMakerChannel 7 лет назад

    For my videos, I like to use one of those horizontal extensions for tripods. It is flexible to adjust the position but can be locked entirely with a single knob. Not having three legs though would be very helpful!

  • @ronsteelable9405

  • @SpareroomWoodworking
    @SpareroomWoodworking 7 лет назад

    Awesome stuff Jay. The endless adjustment of tripods also got to me - I solved it through workflow. I do photography as a serious hobby, so I have two pretty decent tripods. But even though they are decent, adjusting their height still takes time. Given that I also prefer to film most sequences using a single camera, I simply keep both tripods set up for different shots: one at "normal" height and the other one at it shortest length with horizontal column (Manfrotto 190XPRO) for overhead shots with the tripod on top of my workbench. Then I simply move the camera using the quick release plate. MUCH faster than adjusting the tripod.

  • @abdullahabd7677
    @abdullahabd7677 7 лет назад

    brilliant. I just saw the john heisz's camera gentry, and its range of motion. but you have achived much of its functionality of the system in a much simplistic way.

  • @selightfritz642
    @selightfritz642 7 лет назад

    Cool build, another set of Casters between the ones you already have will get rid of the bounce, and the bungie acts like the spring in an articulated desk lamp.

  • @mrmartymac
    @mrmartymac 7 лет назад

    Jay - I have really enjoyed and learned a great deal from you. Part of what makes your channel among my favorite woodworking channels is your production quality. I look forward to seeing what new angles and techniques you now incorporate as you work with your new camera stand. Nice work as always. Thank you.

      @JayBates  7 лет назад

      Thank you for the feedback, Martin.

  • @gf4632
    @gf4632 7 лет назад

    Jay, the only thing it needs now is something like a lazy susan in between the articulating arm and the pole to allow you to move around the Z axis and shoot vertically if you need to.
    Great work. Always enjoy the explanations you offer about thought process to get to where you're going.
    Keep it up. Thanks.

    • @JayBates
      @JayBates  7 лет назад

      It doesn't need that. The swivel head camera mount allows that.

    • @gf4632

  • @kndd96

  • @Slugsie1
    @Slugsie1 7 лет назад

    Nice job, looks like it'll work quite well. Only change I'd make is to extend one of the 'horizontal' arms by a foot or so (still within the area of the base) and add a counterweight. Whilst you don't need it now I think over time the various surfaces will polish up and lose friction. It'll also increase the effort required to tip, especially when high up.

  • @1956vern
    @1956vern 7 лет назад +2

    Just for safety of your camera, put some foam at base of of pipe on top of cement so if it happens to fall it will not hit a solid surface? Looks good Jay! Good job👏

    • @JayBates
      @JayBates  7 лет назад

      It won't fall. The rotation shown at the end won't allow it to fall on it's own. Plus, I lock it to the pipe.

  • @jlathem56
    @jlathem56 7 лет назад

    not sure if it will fit with your style of use but I found a motorized pan and tilt camera head very beneficial for making the fine adjustments once you get the camera in place and ready to shoot. You can find some very inexpensive too (around $40) with remote.

    if i could suggest that you add another 'locking' handle under the vertical frame piece closer to the camera. This will assist in close, quick, and more accessible adjustments. Keep the pole (mast) locking handle as extra when needed. I like your design around.

    I've been thinking about alternatives to tripods for my shop and my wife's sewing room. I like the ideas in both your and Jeremy's builds except they both still take floor space. I could probably make something like this work in the shop, but it's definitely out for the sewing room. Thinking about some sort of ceiling mounted system.

    Great video Jay! I am totally going to build one of these for my table top work! I think I will try to mount it on the back side of my work bench and have it slide from one end of the bench to the other for table top stuff. Then build one just like this for other shop videos. With my work in the RC Plane industry I do a lot of table top builds and this will be perfect for that!

      Won't having it mounted directly to the table make it vibration prone?

    I would have suggested turning the pole block up the other way, so that the weight of the arm would tighten that lever screw, but seeing as you put the bungee on, that works too.
    Now we're going to see lots of dolly shots :D
    You could mount a monitor on that stand too, i personally use a Afunta 7" monitor that's normally used for car reversing cameras, it can be powered by a lipo pack (needs about 12v) to make the stand totally portable.

    Maybe you could have the weight slide inside the pipe to keep it secure and out of the way.
    It would also require much less clamping pressure to hold a camera position.

    equilateral triangle around the round bucket would eliminate one castor and the wobble factor. But of course you know that nice job Jay!

      I evaluated using a triangular base. It would increase the minimum width of the base.

    Great idee Jay. A tought I had when I saw this was to use 3 casters insted of 4. This will help with the uneveness of the shop floor and if you make it wide enough it wont tip over. Just change the wooden base to a triangel instend ...Just a tip, if you find that the whole set up likes to wobble on the floor

      hahaha. Yours is much lower center of gravity and probably a better approach in an overall sense.

    A stop on the metal pipe near the top might prevent the piece of wood from extending above the the pipe preventing the garage door from knocking it over ... You already mentioned that was a concern.

    Just curious on your thought process - the four screws in the sides of the bucket - they are going to be carrying all the weight of the rig, plus the bucket and concrete. I know you referenced other designs, just curious why you didn't go with a platform for the bucket to sit on. You could have had the caster tops riding above it just like a shop mobile base and in the same footprint as what u have. I loved the bungee add-on - very smart.

    Hiya, having spent a long time working in film and TV I can say this is one of the most inventive camera stands I've ever seen. A huge high five to you... A thought, I know it would mean running a cable to it but if you wanted to you could mount a monitor to the pole higher up and see 'The shot' with a directors view. That might even help with in camera editing? Once again a fantastic video from you, thank you.

  • @reidgleason7862
    @reidgleason7862 7 лет назад

    You can move the bungee cord to pull the to arms together. This would mean you don't need that other piece of would and the bungee could support the full motion of the arm.

    Great Job Jay...as soon as I saw it finished, I knew you had a winner...but I have ONE mod you MUST do, and it's going to be over the moon awesome. Install a small 20-ish" 16x9 monitor on the pole, FACING you. Run the video feed out of the camera to it, and now you have a monitor as well. Run the wire IN the pipe as a chase, and out the bottom for BOTH the monitor and camera. Now you never need to use batteries again for the camera while filming. ;)

    • @JayBates

    Hi! Make an equilateral triangle from two pieces of plywood (with a hole too fit your bucket) put them on the bottom and mount three casters, three point contact with the floor. You may have to shorten your post a little for overall clearance.

  • @vman881
    @vman881 7 лет назад

    It looks awesome, but for more stability purposes at the bottom of the bucket instead of making a square out of two by fours you could've made a triangle, that way three point of contact is never wobbly other that, it is still an awesome device

  • @VintageElectronicsGeek

    For about $100USD you can buy via eBay an older heavy duty pro tripod, look for Bogen-Manfrotto...that's a trustworthy brand, when I worked as a pro (retired), that's all I used! A consideration....you should add a small HD monitor to the top of the poll, this will make framing your shot a lot easier! ~Jack, VEG

  • @DIYTyler
    @DIYTyler 7 лет назад

    That's awesome man! New camera looks great. Couple ideas popped into my head maybe a 3 caster approach to help with the uneven floor (might not work since your base is square) and cam lever locks to make the locking knobs even faster?

    I am just about to build my own version of this as hating tripods is one of my hobbies, so this is great, i want to incorporate a slider to use as the extension arm but also so i can add motion with a motor. Did you think about using a counter balance weight inside the pole like professional studio stand although i think the racking pole bracket does the same thing. thanks
