okay i know this doesnt really need a tutorial and everything because its very simple, but i wanted some practice with Sony Vegas and this seemed like a good opportunity, it was something i decided to spend my saturday doing instead of sitting around eating cheetos I got the design from: [url]http://littlegreatideas.com/stabilize[/url]... it has all the pieces and instructions there Overall its a nice way to stabilize your camera, its not perfect, but i think its pretty cool especially for as easy as it is to make and how cheap it is. I ended up spending $30 on it but if you get smaller pipes and the washers separately you can save more money and stuff I got everything from lowes except for the weight i got from Dicks Let me know what you think about it [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2JD_XxYygQ[/media]
I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial :D but you know you could have made it shorter blah blah blah but i don't think I would enjoy that then ;)
your hair is really damaged.

Hell, I liked it. :v: But I agree that there were certain things you would've been better off cutting out, just to make it a little shorter.
Not sure if I'd feel confident mounting a camcorder to it. Deffinitely try it with shorter pipes. I've been considering making one myself but I'm far too lazy.
Shorten the size of the pipes and paint it, would likely work much better. Informative video, great if you're broke.
Ghetto work at its best
