Yo! I'm really really digging your DIY series. Actually started incorporating your lighting and now I've got SO many ideas to do car scenes with, especially when I get the courage to start shooting my own music videos. I appreciate you 🙏
Very impressive! This is no ordinary DIY camera mount. I've done some primitive setups in the past (before gopros) to record autocross races but this is a million times better. Well done!
An excellent tutorial there Wesley, love to see it
That is super cool I love how you can do the more cinematic shots once u did the part u added to the gimble n the fact that yall can control the angles with the apps thats awesome.
LOVE this. And to see the actual footage too was super helpful. I also like how he jumped out of the car NASCAR style! As always, great video. Thank you for your insight.
Oh wow, your DIY car mount looks spectacular as those we see on big-budget films. Great step by step assembling guide as well.
this video was very informative for me! i have always wondered how they set up camera rigs on cars! thanks so much!
that inventive in the beginning I was worry about the rig securing with just magnets but with the cables it nice and tight. this really cool great DIY.
Great DIY tutorial here, love the idea of an inexpensive camera rig.
100% need this one when I get my car sorted
Well, now, that's about the coolest things I've ever seen. Would certainly give you a great, professional-looking video.
That was really interesting and innovative. Not that I would need it for my videos, but it highlights the importance of thinking outside the box, or outside the car 😃. Thank you
Brocheese soup! Great tutorial project here, love that you show these types of videos on top of your amazing movies!
I never knew that it was possible to make a DIY camera car mount? Like wow, that's possible?
There is a lot I have to learn in filmmaking I suppose. No better place to start but the equipment
I've never really thought much about how closeup car scenes are shot so this was a really cool and insightful look at things.
Thanks so much for checking it out man! It was definitely a fun little DIY project to try out, and hopefully we can incorporate it into our shorts in the future.
sweet rig, wes! loved the shots from side of the car too!!
Thanks a lot for checking it out, Rob! Glad you enjoyed it!
Definitely a setup video for the gimbal would be great too.
Sweet! We'll release on it as soon as we get together again
So I'm going back to college in the fall and considering a couple of my classes... This tutorial will be insanely helpful. 😁😁😁 thanks as always for being awesome. Have a nice summer.
(Figured I would be pertinent and then sign your yearbook. 😂😂)
Hello Wesley, good to see you back at it... and I love the quick screaming GEAR intro!! That's a whole lotta cheese plates. Look at you looking at handy with this setup. It does look a little crazy but it's very effective. Yeah, you definitely want a backup when you are playing with all that money. The test footage came out very stable so good job. Excellent job and great editing! So what's coming up next on your channel?
3 cheese plates and some Nuts eh? lol Nice rig you made here, I bet one you'd buy is super expensive too. You guys really made sure that thing was going NOWHERE! and it saves the expensive camera in case something does malfunction, god forbid. i like the mount on the side of the car for unique shots. Nice video and DYI bud!
No gaff tape attached to elsewhere. Great job guys!!
Thanks!
Yessss I love when your or whoever yells "GEAR" at me when these videos begin. The real question is where did you get this idea? And no, I don't want to use his nuts! I love the idea and DIY part of it!
As you know, I admire your work on this channel and everything that you upload. The blue background has a really nice touch. It's been hot as ballz lately so it gives me a little cooler feel. Keep rocking these videos... peach my friend!!
GGGEEEEAAAARRRR!!!! Bro I love this frickn' rig man!!! Not sure I would have constructed it on the hood of my car tho lol! Deez NUTS!! Damn yo, that thing looks like a damn Transformer! Soooo cool man! Epic toys!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOMEY!!!!💥👏🙌😁✨🤘🤘🤘🧙♂️🧙♂️
That looks like some high-tech-nasa-type equipment!! 😂🚀 The shots looked really nice! 😊
oh this was interesting I love a good DIY it looks really nice maybe something i could try lol
I did this in my shop but with two suction cup handles used to carry heavy glass and metal sheets. They are rated for 150 lb each
That’s good to know! Mind sending the brand? I’ll add them to our shopping list :D
oh wow the difference with and without the polariser. That would be so much fun to shoot! It is interesting to see how many cables are used to try and secure it! Last thing you'd want is the gear falling off :O
Great video, I bought this suction cup rig, very similar to what you have going on there and it's awful, would so much rather have magnets. If the replacement rig won't work I think I'll definitely want to do this. Again, great video, thanks.
Thanks! Yeah, we had the same issue before with suction cup mounts - they’d always lose their grip over time and would come loose. I highly recommend the magnets!
omg I always thought someone would hold a camera during those scenes! but it's cool to see that there's not as high tech ways to make it stay up
This gives me an idea for a side mount camera rig. I'm guessing there's plenty out there, but for the pro-sumer. Something that's very solid and without too many parts. Like a giant capo for a car door :P
Cheese plates???? Well there's something to keep the camera stilton!
Haha, Stilton, get it? no?
Wow, tough crowd today
This is super cool, definitely could have used this in film class but there was no way any of us could have gotten this together in time LOL
I'd love to build something like this but my DIY is awful 😅 Great tutorial, commentary and editing. Entertaining and easy to watch 😊
Great mount on the "relatively" cheap! I suppose this could be rigged to any vehicle, or a boat with a waterproof cam of course. Small Airplane for some amazing shots although a drone works great for that nowdays lol. And not as expensive. Just thinking the possibilities are endless for a camera mount like this.
Can you guys do a diy wire rope vibration isolation mount now?😊
Will start brainstorming!
Buffalo Wild Club loves what you did! Do you focus on Music videos? We love your work!
Aie caramba. I'm all for DIY but not when it looks DIY, the initial faded shot looked pretty thrown together and might not hold, but seeing it is extra security makes me feel more confident with this rigging. If you had black cording it would've looked dope.
The extra gimbal gear makes it look extra sloppy if you ask me, and the side mounting na uh. Just prefer something more modular and easily deployable if you ask me.
That's such a smart build, it will help me out huge with the rig I'm attempting to build. Just have a few questions for you.
How fast were you driving with it?
Did you have to stabilize the shots that didn't use the ronin?
Thanks so much! I think we got up to 60 on the one road, regularly going 45-55. None of the shots without the Ronin had warp stabilizer added, but a few of the Ronin shots, especially when we were going faster, did have WS added due to the wind pushing the cam.
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment Wow that's way faster than I expected. Thanks for answering that for me. Keep up the great videos
feels like the magnet will ruin/scratch the paint after a couple of hours..?
Very valid concern! I was definitely concerned, which is why my car was never used for this, but we've used this on several shoots in addition to this video and have had 0 scratches.
Thinking Art Entertainment ah so the magnets have some soft/rubber surface maybe? I always go with suction cups instead but this seems pretty cool and take up less room; altho it wouldnt work on a aluminum hood
A nice strong magnet will be fine through a thin cloth, especially with the back up rigging. I may try that if I build this rig. But tbh if the surfaces are nice and clean, prob not much reason to be concerned.
Hi guys thanks so so much for giving me the basic to doing my own version of this mount but i was wondering if you guys can give us. the link to the black knuts round black ones where to buy them thanks so much new subscriber oscar at infinito studios!
teach us how to do that ronin thing please
Think we're filming that in the next two weeks!
That can hold a camera up to 200lbs??????? Well, it's a fairly sturdy bit of kit there
Fairly sure at close to 300, I wouldn't be getting on it anytime soon but you never know haha
Thinking about building this. Can anyone tell me how difficult it is to remove the magnets from the car?
Not very difficult. It'll take a little force to pull them off, but the hooks help out a lot.
Do you find that, at a certain speed, you started to experience and shake or micro jitters?
Yeah with the Ronin on it, for sure. The Ronin doesn't do too well with wind, so when we were going 40 or so, there was definitely a bit of microjitters in the image. Nothing completely unusable though. Most of the shots could be saved by applying Warp Stabilizer in post.
May I know the video/film that you showed briefly at 0:12 & 0:14? I would like to watch them :)
The first one is called Hot Pursuit, which we made for the 48 hour film project.
ruclips.net/video/GANGCvSwFIc/видео.html
The second is called Dilemma, which was our first short film ever!
ruclips.net/video/ZZW9bq87WmI/видео.html
Let us know what you think!
@@ThinkingArtEntertainment I surely will. Thank you so much!
Hello, i was wondering if the video with Ronin S, was stabilized on post production as well ? My problem is that i can not stabilize the camera with Ronin S on my car, all the videos needs post stabilization. If you can give me an advice it will be good. Thanks for you job !
Hey there! I honestly don’t remember, but I’m guessing a very slight warp stabilizer in post to smooth out any kind of vibrations that transferred from the vehicle into the camera.
Have you guys ever get scared that it might fall off? Haha because lmao if it falls
Nope! Fully trust it.
But can I mount my Red DSMC 2 Epic?
Yeah
