- Making some gear to help with making videos.
See my main channel 'Attilas Workshop' here: / @attilasworkshop
I'm getting a lot of comments wondering why I don't just hang the camera under the rail.
There are a couple of reasons why I don't do this:
The first is the camera has a large monitor attached and the main reason I have this is to allow me
to fine tune focus. I just can't focus using the small LCD (poor eyesight) so the monitor needs to stay. With the monitor and the cage handle the camera just wouldn't get very much closer to the floor, and
composing and focusing would be very difficult.
The second reason is all my controls for ISO, aperture, white balance, shutter release are on the top of the camera. Flipping the camera upside down obscures all these from view as well as places them in a different position from normal which would make it very difficult to make the adjustments that I need to do.
Using this platform is way faster (a few seconds), keeps the monitor on top where I can tilt it to a comfortable angle and keeps all the controls accessible and in the positions I'm used to.

Just discovered and then binged ALL your videos. I like your projects and, more importantly, I like your style. 👍
Thanks and welcome:)
I thought you were making speaker feet from the thumbnail. Love those chunky solid knobs.
Cool.
just in time for my break, always love your videos. seriously one of the best gems on youtube when you want to just relax and watch some nice making.
Wow this video felt very personal with the commentary. what a neat little low profile tripod.
Thanks, glad to provide some relaxation:)
Very well done, excellent build, always enjoy the projects you come up with….
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video:)
Awesome project and execution, dude. Someone below suggested marketing this - I totally agree.
Your content is kind of like guided meditation... so chilled out and calm. Also, your composition is flawless (glad to see you getting in front of the camera, too). Not sure what it is about all of you "Down Under" people, but the common theme seems to be genius-level creativity, great approach in terms of teachability, a casual approach, and really excellent content value and production. You're in the crowd with Neil Paskin, Chris from Clickspring, and Scott Brown the carpenter in NZ. I hope this is taken as complimentary.
Thanks Matt, those guys you mentioned (especially Clickspring) are on another level and I do take your comment as a huge compliment. But I am not an expert at anything and what you often see me doing is the first time I'm doing it lol.
It's a good day when there's a new video from Attila! Beautiful work as always. I feel your pain on tapping the stainless steel -- I knew what was next as soon as I heard the tap chattering!
Thanks 👍
In all fairness, a good knob is very satisfying to use. :)
Indeed!
Classy design and presentation!!
Thank you.
Your attention to detail and design acumen always amaze me. You are truly an engineering artist!
Way too kind, thank you:)
Beautiful shots
Thank you.
Me encanta su trabajo meticuloso y preciso. A la espera de otro maravilloso y entretenido video.
Gracias:)
great work as usual, we call that a hi hat in the industry, attach a "fish fart" level on the body for easy leveling,
as the camera plate is solid mounted, think about some socket style extensions to the feet so you can get some ability to tilt up or down, make sure they are pointy, the problem with flat round ones like you have made is as you rotate the knob to lift, the pad walks unless it can rotate on the shaft (like I think yours do) if they can rotate then they roll when they are not flat on a surface,
also with your camera stand, could you not go underslung with the camera, that extrusion looks symmetric, then correct the image in the camera,
also your worksop is far to clean for a balanced well adjusted mind LOL
Peter.
Thanks for the tips Peter:) The pads do rotate freely. I was thinking of making ball joints to get extreme tilt on the device but this proved to beyond my skill level, so I simply made the shaft at the end of the threads about 0.5mm smaller than the hole in the pad to allow for sideways movement when the platform begins to tilt.
I have thought about hanging the camera carriage under the horizontal rail but I really need the field monitor (eyes not so good) and this prevents it getting low enough. I also thought about adding a spirit level but my camera has level markers built in for left/right level and the pitch is purely a visual judgement I make when shooting.
Excellent fabrication. Very professional build and video! Well done 👍
Thank you.
Thank-you for the video!
For parting off on the lathe, ensuring the cutoff tool is perfectly square to your chuck, perpendicular to the axis is essential. Slow and easy does it is key.
When I first started I broke a couple of cutoff bits. Take your time, cut lots of scrap.
You're welcome and thanks for the tips:)
@@awintheshed You're welcome.
The build is nice and I’m sure it will find much use. Considering how easy it looks to take the camera head off your larger stand, have you tried mounting it upside down? The camera would be hanging upside down, but the video is easy enough to flip right-way up in your video editing software.
Thanks. I've addressed the mounting upside down thing several times in the comments;)
@@awintheshedah I see now. I had scanned the top dozen or so replies looking for that comment (no comment search on mobile), but I just had to keep scrolling. Cheers mate.
beautiful work man. Craftsmanship and camera work alike ;)
Thanks, glad you liked the video.
Szép munka!
You have a new subscriber. Whatever you're filming the beautifully composed shots worth to watch.
(Yep, I've seen the 'dead man's switch', but your chuck key gives me goosebumps sometimes.)
Kosonom:)
As you mentioned the chuck key is no longer a problem with my lathe;)
@@awintheshed Keep on the good work, Sir!
Very interesting. Nice work sir
Thanks:)
Why didn't you just turn the camera upside down on the slide?
You don't create RUclips videos if you approach life that way
I need the large field monitor to focus with (my eyes aren't so good these days) so this prevents the camera getting as close as I'd like to the floor, and to remove it is a pain and too fiddly. I have thought of this before;)
@@awintheshed field monitors make such a difference. I feel you there
amazing build!
Thank you!
What paint/coating did you use on the aluminium fork? It looks amazing!
Great work overall, fantastic to watch!
Thanks. For this I used an epoxy metal etch primer followed by epoxy satin black enamel top coat. I find this finish to be very durable. Both are made by Dulux.
You need to use lot more cutting fluid during parting to flush the chips out or retract periodically then feed again. If chips get jammed, then it's certain to break the insert and the holder.
Thanks.👍
Beautiful work mate, on the issue of breaking parting tips, you wan to make sure the blade is perfectly parallel with the work. place a Dial indicator on the parting blade then move your cross slide back and forward as you would when cutting and check for any difference at either end little side note cutting fluid will help
Yes I think that is a good idea and will give it a try next time. Thanks.
@@awintheshedI don’t know if it was the camera frame rate making it look slow, but that looks like you were going a bit slow on your spindle speed as well. Carbide inserts like speed, so don’t be afraid to go faster than you think you can. I also use power feed so that I am going at a consistent feed rate, hand feeding can cause problems. I don’t know if your lathe has power feed on the cross slide, if it does, you might want to give it a try.
Super cool! My only complaint is that you don’t produce enough vids, amigo!
Thanks, I may be in a position to produce more videos at the end of the year/early next year:)
The age of minimalisation is over it’s all about ergonomics, great project
Thanks.
Again and again and again really beautiful very engineered work. Your design it's really beautiful, I have to ask what is your main job? Are you an engineer or a furniture designer? I enjoy your work, reminds me of a futuristic 60's 70's design art decor. Great job
I work as a printer. Thanks:)
Very nice looking setup!
BTW what is the track playing at the end?
I can't remember but it's in the you tube audio library.

Welcome:)
What % of thread did you drill in that stainless rod? I usually do a 75% thread in mild steel, but use a larger tap drill to 55% in most stainless.
I don't really understand the question. I drilled 3.3mm holes slightly deeper than I need for M4 taps /screws.
Wondering if some cheap spirit levels would add anything good to the foot...
Don't need it, camera has level built in.
Looks like you are using a wood bandsaw to cut aluminium.
What blade are you using?
Are you running the bandsaw at its lowest speed?
Great content BTW. Nice project.
I'm using a Bi-metal blade specifically for cutting aluminium and I'm using the high speed that I use for wood because I don't want to change pulleys all the time.
I use the same blade for wood too. Thanks.
Awesome, thanks. What TPI?
It takes confidence to do all that sanding and filing BEFORE drilling the holes.
Or stupidity lol. Thanks:)
Gained a subscriber.. well done..
Welcome aboard! Thanks:)
Szuper!!👍👍
Thanks:)
Great knobs!!!😂
Haha thanks Mitch.👍
What are you doing with caustic soda on aluminium?
Cleaning before anodizing.
The final cleaning step.
Next time could you just heat up the stainless to aneal it and then tap it easier?
I think the answer is to use the correct speed when drilling.
@@awintheshed yeah stainless is weird sometimes. My first time programing a stainless part I was too scared to go fast but that's what it wanted.
You should build and sell your stand to other RUclipsrs.
I think it's so difficult to buy these things (and expensive) because the market is very small.

Cool:)
Soundtrack reminds me of Myst
Cool:)
you build are just... sexy? you create beautiful objects that in the end look like apple or b&o made them
Too kind, thank you.
Really nice work. Definitely deserved a subscription from me.
Please forgive my following unsolicited comment…….. Please rethink your approach of parting round metal parts at the bandsaw without using something to secure the round part from spinning @6:53. Check out Joe Pie’s Vertical Bandsaw Tips video. (I tried to leave a link to his video but YT deleted my comment).
I will have a look at that video, thanks:) I only cut aluminium on the bandsaw and have not had any problems so far.
Only 2000 subs? You haven't even been discovered yet.
I lose a lot of subs because of the infrequency of new videos, and I guess not many people like the stuff/videos I make.
very nice BUT never take your hands of the chuckkey when it is not in a save place, NOT the chuck
My lathe cannot start with the key in the chuck!
The key must be in it's holder for the lathe to start, see the video on my channel.
