A Life Changing Filming Upgrade || INHERITANCE MACHINING

[@InheritanceMachining]

I really can't believe how well this actually turned out. Nor can I believe I made it through without a single trip to the BOS 😂 But seriously this is going to make filming these projects so much easier and I can't wait to try out some new angles. See you again March 3rd!

[@aniciorossitorella7794]

nooo... so late?😉

[@cross-road_cycleworks]

This is so cool! I have one question though, what if you bump the gantry while filming? Will it move? Maybe some locking wood or nylon cams could keep it from sliding if accidentally bumped?

[@jones7399]

now you also have a tap holder for aautomatic tapping, when you're done filming

[@Counttec]

Looks great. I'm interested to see how much the gantry is affected by vibrations from the heavier machines. At least it probably won't drift, since you've leveled the track. But perhaps arm will migrate?

[@anuragneelam8527]

Dude the gantry is friggin awesome, you inspire me man :D

[@colinfurze]

I feel your tripod pain lol, i thought about something like this but my shed is to small with quite a low ceiling and the barn is to big. Top job and greta video as always.

[@jonanderson5137]

Obligatory fanboying.

[@InheritanceMachining]

I appreciate it! Maybe an inverted arm (elbow down) could work for you. Or just a stationary pivot. Heck anything is an improvement on a tripod 😂

[@littlesignificance7725]

Two of my youtube hero’s in one comment section. Fantastic!

[@Rastadogg85]

Obviously you need something large and motorized (jet powered??). Perhaps a laser designator that you can point for the camera to go to a location automatically, probably at like 50+mph.

[@BlameItOnGreg]

@colinfurze Just swap the gantry for some preset hard points that you can slide the base arm post in and out of. That would work for smaller or bigger spaces. More effort to heft the arm between hard points when needed, but way more flexible for a large space, and way more space efficient for a small space. A correctly chosen taper length and angle for the the mating of the arm to the hard points would make it easy to put in and out, but also very stable.

[@techstuff9198]

I greatly appreciate you summoning our workshop's dark lord of the fly cutter, Chipthulu.

[@InheritanceMachining]

There's the cthulhu joke i couldn't think of... damn

[@techstuff9198]

@@InheritanceMachining Chipthulu rarely causes any true problems for us, but is still quite unsettling to those that do not know him. The "initiation ritual" for the workshop is having the new member summon him. Of course, Chipthulu isn't the only dark lord of the workshop. We also have Clang, the one we fear. His domain is death of projects and destruction of tools, and sometimes serious injury if he's particularly hangry. A lot of us play Space Engineers, and Clang is a known problem in that game, the boss/owner owner of the workshop has joked that Clang might have escaped the game.

[@Joe-xq3zu]

Can we all just stop and take a moment to appreciate the most impressive part of this whole episode? No side projects or oopsie-do-overs for the Box Of Shame!! He has really come a long way!

[@Rob_65]

Ehh... hang on. This IS a side project all in itself. Remember that the only reason to make this is to be able to make filming of making things easier 😉

[@lourias]

No side-projects, oh no! What are we going to do?

[@Wulven-Hollow]

I dare say... I think you just jinxed the next video 😅

[@KX36]

Almost a bit boring compared to the recent trend of side projects and shame trophies! Not that I wish that on the guy.

[@danlabonty9720]

Did ya miss the part where he ran the sliting saw into his part. Still counts as an oopsie. Haha.

[@_D_P_]

Consider a soft bumper (think tennis ball) on the bottom tip of the vertical handle. I worked in a shop with a similar apparatus and it only takes standing up under it once to make you hate the thing.

[@usualatoms4868]

I'd like to see the precise drawings and machining of this "tennis ball" :)

[@patrik5123]

Now I kinda wanna see him make a tennis ball out of metal. Damnit.

[@louisquarendon4765]

As a mechanical engineering student, this channel is therapy. Keep up the good work!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you!

[@StefanGotteswinter]

Impressive build! Between this and Robin Renzettis Camera arm, i think these two designs are the ones I like the most in avoiding a tripod. Thanks for taking us along the design and build, enjoyed it!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks, Stefan! Robin's camera arm is definitely pretty slick as well. I considered going that route for a bit.

[@buckinthetree1233]

@Inheritance Machining you've officially hit the big time if Stefan Gotteswinter is watching your videos. Perhaps some day I'll make a machining video worthy of adding to my Chanel.

[@Ben_R4mZ]

One of my favorite things that I noticed early on about your videos it's how you show certain shots throughout the manufacturing process in the intro, and usually show the finished product as the final shot before the logo, but even though I've seen what the final product looks like, my interest in the process it took to get there remains just as high. Excellent cinematography and storytelling. edit: Now all we need is Mark Rober to install some simple moters and software to move the whole thing for some sweet panning shots 😂

[@AB-pb8oo]

There is a software called Dragonframe - originally developed to shoot cartoons frame by frame by carefully moving camera between shots. He could just slap a couple of servo motors, wire them to arduino and have that software to control the pulley. Alternatively, one could use Marlin or other 3d printing firmware to control those servos.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you! I'm glad they pique interest more than spoil the surprise. It's a tricky dilemma

[@_Cheko_]

Personally, I keep my eyes shut during the introduction, solely to maximise the satisfaction of the final reveal

[@iTeerRex]

@@_Cheko_ Plans, drawings, renderings and so on are fine, but the actual product kind of ruins the adventure of the build.

[@fpfree8821]

I like getting the whole lot from the get go. It makes the design considerations and limitations more meaningful for me and easy to conceptualise. Interestingly I struggle with raw creativity and often get my inspiration from taking things apart and reverse engineering or adapting the ideas I find within so maybe that’s why. Side note, I have one of those arms/jibs but it has no coil springs at all. There is just a single steel ‘finger’(?) within the middle joint/elbow of the arm and is almost completely hidden by the hinge bracket except a small slot. The finger pivots on pins and is preloaded with tension so it works in kind of an equal but opposite fashion to the elbow joint. Fascinating solution and keeps the arm clean and streamlined with no external springs.

[@Kevin_Aus]

I think that you are selling yourself short with this project. It's impact cannot be overstated. This is going to inspire many other makers and improve the quality of filming for a lot of people. There are many makers like Adam Savage who are going to be green with envy when watching this. Adam's flexible lights and phone mount are great, but they have their limitations. What you have made is a work of art that performs flawlessly. I can even envision more generic youtubers creating versions of this out of pvc and 3D printed parts to hold their iphones.

[@AB-pb8oo]

Adam’s shop is filled to the lid with all the stuff - even if he wanted to, he couldn’t use this design ))))

[@InheritanceMachining]

You are very kind! Thank you

[@BritishTeaLover]

@@AB-pb8oo He couldn't use the gantry, but the moveable arm could work. Might need somewhere central to mount it (probably higher up), but he has a number of machines close to each other where an arm this size could probably reach a few of them at once. And do overhead views down on the nearby bench.

[@cooperised]

John Heisz (woodworker) has a similar setup, but made of wood, obviously. The idea is not new. But this implementation is sweet!

[@philbert006]

Why would Adam Savage be green with envy? He has a crew of professional camera and sound operators in his employ if he wants to get some filming done. And he is not l limited to his home base. Not to mention all the other assets and advantages that Savage industries can bring to bear on a problem. Since pandemic is not an issue anymore, when is the last time you saw Adam adjusting his camera? It's rather rare as Norm knows exactly what to do and doesn't need to be prompted. Perhaps you should own up and admit you are green with envy this setup rather than ascribe it to someone else. In not ashamed that I'm a bit envious of it and I don't have a shop to put it in, anything to film, nor the slightest interest in filming even if I did. It's a clever and useful project and done quite well. What's not to be envious of?

[@SkaterChan]

Great video as always! One upgrade I would suggest is a small HD monitor mounted near the handle, with an HDMI cable running down the arm to the camera. That way, you could always see your camera angle , without having to look at the small camera screen. Super impressed with how well it holds in place after you move the camera!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Good idea! Thanks!

[@notstonks20]

@@InheritanceMachining if you do this, i don't think it would be too difficult to run power along the gantry using cable chains

[@klaernie]

I'd second both of these ideas - power means one less thing to worry when shooting, since running out of battery becomes impossible, and a big preview monitor makes setting up shots easier. Totally overkill would be pulling the HDMI cable along to a central PC and capturing with a capture card instead of recording to sdcards.

[@Curt_Sampson]

@@klaernie I don't know that would be total overkill at all. Not only is changing batteries and SD cards a bit of a pain, but if you want to livestream, you need direct video output.

[@cheeseplated]

Not only do you create really high quality content, but also take the time to write captions. Not many youtubers of your size do this and it isn't that noticeable for the people that don't need them, but for the ones that do, it could be the main reason they choose to subscribe

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you! But full disclosure, I use an online service for those. 30% of my audience uses them so it's worth the cost (albeit small)

[@BetweenTheBorders]

@@InheritanceMachining While I usually don't need them, I often have captions on because my hearing can be spotty. It's greatly appreciated and using a service is just good time management. It's interesting to hear that 30% of the audience has them on. Good metric to know.

[@JogauTV]

I am not a machinist, I never operated a significant tool other than a screwdriver, a drill or a hammer in my life. But, I admire the work that you do, the dedication to the precision and the quality. And I admire that you're able to do what do you at this level whilst being a film-maker. Your videos and your editing is seemless and it's something that I know I shouldn't take for granted for it is an enormous amount of work to show what you do in video (lighting, angles, focus, editing, story-telling etc.) Your content for me is what ASMR is for a lot of people, the precision, the quality, the film-making and the rest brings me peace. I would like to thank you for this. Jordan from France

[@InheritanceMachining]

I really appreciate that Jordan. These projects take a ton of time behind the scenes that most probably don't realize. So this means a lot. Thank you!

[@samuelcompton3021]

This could mean some great breakthroughs in videography as well! You have a built-in dolly that can cover almost any place in your shop; I'm going to be absolutely shocked if you don't have other shop-based YT makers destroying your inbox trying to order one of these.

[@toddlawrimore3577]

Beautiful. - Engineering. Simplicity. Propose driven. It checks all the boxes.

[@Trainwreck1123]

Somehow you managed to tackle the same project so many other machining channels have done but in a way that nobody else thought of. What a great idea and amazing outcome!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you! No doubt I took some inspiration from those guys as well. KZbin is great for brainstorming.

[@MrVillanuevag]

Very impressive! It feels silly to write but I am so proud of you. The growth of your channel, this project, and just the way you bring us along for the ride. Thank you for making videos!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Not silly at all. That actually means a lot! Thank you

[@MariusHornberger]

A pretty nice solution. I had something like this in mind for quite a while now and I'll definitely use some of your design ideas. But fact is...I want a mill.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks, Marius. Mills make everything better, but I'm sure you could manage without one with some clever designing

It's so nice to see the tools you've been making up to this point being used to make more new ones :)

[@Hazzardmatt1]

They were all side projects to make this end all project :)

[@digitalradiohacker]

"Easy peasy" "Turned out exactly how you'd expect" For man with a BOS as impressive as yours, these are BOLD statements. Each time a tool touched metal, I could feel the latch on the BOS loosen. An edge of the seat thriller for sure.

[@InheritanceMachining]

haha it helps to say such things after the project is already complete!

[@alfderbabybenz7092]

So many thanks for you sharing all those cool things with us! The old man would have never thought his little world would be seen by so many people, the stuff he carried together for so many years enjoyed from all over the world. I bet he is proud of you!

[@InheritanceMachining]

I never even thought about that. That's really cool! Thank you very much

[@rukinaa]

Asides from the fact that this build is going to make your life so much easier for filming it's also making you safer in the work shop. Nothing worse in my opinion than a trip hazard (tripod legs) to make you fall over onto or into a running machine. Amazing job man!

[@InheritanceMachining]

That's a point I hand't even considered! Thank you

[@RocanMotor]

What a phenomenal addition to your shop and channel! I too struggle with camera positioning and find it really time consuming. I look forward to your future content with this implementation- I might have to make one of my own in the future.

You can purchase aluminum track to attach to your ceiling which accept locking rollers which you can hang lights and cameras from. They're called pantograph systems and they're incredibly handy, but pricey. Manfrotto makes the most popular ones. You just position it where you want and twist the locking collar to secure your shot. I betcha you could take some inspiration from it and build your own! I installed several of these in photo studios and colleges and they're a game changer. At their core they're pretty simple devices but they're invaluable for saving time and having things out of your way. Edit: I got too excited and commented too early. This is essentially exactly what you built, minus the scissor design of the panto arm. Good work!

[@InheritanceMachining]

😁 I saved the fancy stuff for the end! I stumbled across the photography specific rails when I was planning but it was cost prohibitive. The unistrut ended up being surprisingly smooth though so I'm not upset about it at all! Thanks!

[@RobB_VK6ES]

For what it is worth yours is the second of the machining channels I regularly watch, the other being Stefan's. The things I like about your content include the good production, your honesty while learning particularly being willing to scrap a part rather than make a bunch of excuses and lastly the lack of peddling sponsored products. Here is a tip for centering around a center drilled or punched end. Use a dead center between your live center and the part. you now have easy access to clock in the part.

[@InheritanceMachining]

I really appreciate that. Thank you. And great tip with the dead center!

I've gone back and watched a lot of your older videos even after I've seen you use the tools in projects. It's really cool to me to see the tool in use then go find out how you made it! I'm already watching this video 9 months after it was uploaded but still intriguing to watch!

[@mikehunt42069]

Turned out fantastic! I can tell this will make your video creation process simpler and way more enjoyable!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks! I can already tell it's going to help a ton

[@upreid]

What an absolute joy your channel is - thank you! Your self-effacing style actually conceals great knowledge and skill, a true delight!

[@dirtfarmer7472]

I’ve not figured out why I like your videos but I do. And I’m going to continue watching, I hope that you don’t mind, to much. Thank you Sir

[@InheritanceMachining]

Of course I don't mind! Everybody is welcome here if you like them

[@nakleh]

this is amazing! as a photographer, I hate dealing with tripods. this was a brilliant solution

[@liamsmith8518]

Great video once again, as a giant 3D printing nerd I can't stop thinking of that gantry just being a giant camera-printer

[@InheritanceMachining]

😂 That might be doable... Thanks!

[@Thoron_of_Neto]

Wow... as always I am amazed by your ability to turn what was a simple job of being able to move your camera without being dangerous or a hassle, into something that was beautiful and inspiring! That rig is a thing of beauty, and this is fast becoming my favorite Makers Channel!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks, man!

[@keith_hudson]

That's freaking sharp man. I've been binge watching this channel for the past few days and I'm hooked. The detail and creative solutions are just fantastic!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Much appreciated!

[@JTL1313]

Best machinists channel on KZbin now. Please keep up the great work.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you so much 🙏

[@willpeterson1177]

Love knowing the passion is still out there and love every meticulous project process!! 💚

[@idkmachining6892]

I really admire the "overdoing" it, even as it makes my, "if it works it works" mindset slightly crazy. Well done!

[@InheritanceMachining]

😂 Thanks!

[@jimurrata6785]

It's been just over a year since I first watched you and a pregnant Paige wrestling these tools out of your grandpa's shop and onto a trailer. I really didn't know what to expect, but now I'm looking forward to each new episode. Your production quality has always been great and this project is going to take it to another level (not to mention how the lack of janky tripod setups is going to facilitate filming) I fully expect to see over 200k subscribers on your next video. _CONGRATULATIONS Brandon!!!_

[@InheritanceMachining]

I really appreciate the support along the way, Jim! Thank you as always!

[@lousasslejr.4690]

currently learning to be a machinist at a trade school and these videos help keep my motivation going!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Glad they could help. Keep at it, man!

[@Lukeredacted]

This is amazing. I work on the film side of things but watch a lot of makers on YT so seeing this creation is just incredible. Very satisfying to see it all come together and I can't wait to see the first video made with this piece of equipment. It also seems like it will easily be able to accommodate future camera upgrades by adjusting the springs to handle more weight, etc.

[@EtherealProject3D]

This is hands down the most genius thing you have done in that shop. You are going to get some really good camera angles with ease. In a little over a year you are blowing past all the machine shop channels on youtube. Keep it up man!!!

[@InheritanceMachining]

I've already started using it on the next project and it is a literal dream! Thanks for the kind words!

[@EtherealProject3D]

@@InheritanceMachining Im legit jealous, I hate dealing witt tripods, even the one with the boom arm is a pain. Good job ma, I cant wait to see the next project and how creative you get with the camera angles.

[@InheritanceMachining]

@@EtherealProject3D No real replacement for hanging it from the ceiling 😁 Thanks!

[@konradkucharski7508]

Hi. Just wanted to say thank you for all the work and effort that you put into documenting and publishing your projects. I love your work, keep it up, please!

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you so much, Konrad! I really appreciate it

[@owievisie]

Daaaamn this is crazy, as an ex-film maker and now a CNC machinist I know the pain of setting up the camera all the time It takes so much of your time, this is really a game changer for you Love it!

[@lhsluis]

An amazing project, as a photo passionate I can say that you camera arm is a state of art of camera holding

[@StanleyTinyhat]

i love this build, theres nothing quite as satifying as having a very specific problem and creating a very specific solution

[@InheritanceMachining]

Amen! Thanks, man

[@aaronpentith130]

From concept to design through to the finished article, QUALITY of the highest level. Kudos to you Good Sir & consider my cap well and truly dothed!

[@InheritanceMachining]

thank you!

[@Rulerofwax24]

The end result is utterly fantastic! I'm in awe of how good that works and how versatile it is. Pretty soon you're going to attach a SmallHD monitor to that arm so you don't even need to be behind the camera to frame it up.

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thank you!

[@BurtonsAttic]

That adds serious production value! I think all shop type KZbinrs go through this overhead camera rig phase, but you really followed through. A little more robust on the gantry and you have a light duty overhead crane for moving those a little too heavy bits around. I can't count the number of tripod trips or near camera crash experiences I've had! 9:05 !

[@InheritanceMachining]

Thanks, John! And same here on the near misses. I was skeptical this would actually be useful but now that I've filmed a video with it there is no way I am going back...
