Alternative Steadicam Gimbal - DIY / How To - Quick and Easy U-Joint Alternative - Henry Witecki

This is a fast (Temporary) alternative to the Traxxas U-Joint gimbal design for any steadicam. This is far from perfect, and I strongly recommend building the u-joint version if you have the time and patience.
SAMPLE FOOTAGE: • Occupy Oakland Protest... _-This has been run through youtube's stabilizer, but like I said, the combination makes almost perfect footage. Get a traxxas u joint if you want perfect footage off the rip.
I based my steadicam design off of this one by • DIY Camera Stabilizer/... by gmix604

Can you upload a sample video of how well it turns out? Thanks! This method sounds awesome!

Nevermind. I had it wrong - 'swivel plug', not 'slip plug'.

How did this work for you? I know you posted this a long time ago but im working on this and had the same idea when looking in my shop. Ill probably make mine today

What is a 'slip plug' used for? I'm having trouble finding one at Home Depot. Is it possible it goes by another name? Thanks.
