i heard a marching band in the bg of one of the scenes! :D Nice build man!

[@TheLimbReaper]

Wow, that is quite complex. I see now what the monitor is. Great job.

[@sonicclang]

Good job! Looks awesome.

[@topbunkvideo]

You're welcome. Hope to see yours soon!

@topbunkvideo thanks for posting it... amazing bro..

fiber glass paint pole might be lighter and not get near the electrical lines as easy , good job looks great

[@topbunkvideo]

Thanks. It's a Durabrand. It only has a compsite video/audio in and headphone out: no HDMI.

[@topbunkvideo]

No. The arm is made of EMT conduit, which is a metal pipe used primarily for electrical installation. I chose it because it is cheap (about US$12.00 for a ten-foot piece), and it is widely available (at most hardware stores). Fencing tube is pretty much the same thing.

@AtlantaTerry I never pushed it to it's limits but it handled my Canon XH-A1 (5.3 lbs or 2.4 kgs) pretty well.

[@topbunkvideo]

@dumplynn7 Thanks. I want to start redesigning the head in the next few weeks.

[@topbunkvideo]

@aerohells07 Thanks. I hope to see yours when it's done.

[@topbunkvideo]

I dismantled that controller because the movements weren't smooth enough. I will probably make a different one. If I do, I will make a tutorial.

[@topbunkvideo]

@AtlantaTerry I haven't tested to see, but it supported my Canon XH-A1 (5.3lbs) easily.

[@RailyardProductions]

Great Jib. What is the brand of DVD monitor? Does it have HDMI input?

[@MediaFXNoosa]

very clever

[@Mhimhi66]

Excuse me but the arm is is alluminium, too??

[@AtlantaTerry]

What weight camera will this support?

[@topbunkvideo]

@Phillies2628 Thanks.

[@zeromkifle]

Loved...your crane man.... Good job. I am trying to put together also a how to video. If you can give a feed back i would appreciate it...

[@topbunkvideo]

No prob.

[@topbunkvideo]

@sonicclang Thanks. The video was too long though.

[@sonicclang]

@topbunkvideo Too long? No way. The average length of my videos is probably 9:59 :)

[@topbunkvideo]

@ericjon652004 Thanks, but it's more determination than talent.

[@topbunkvideo]

@brobillntexas Hey Bill, Thanks for checking out my videos I went ahead and got a direct link for you. I think the smaller the wire the better. I try to stick to 150lb capacity or above. Good luck with your project and be sure to upload a video of the finished product. God bless. mcmaster.com/#wire-rope/=8u2ldy
