DIY camera crane for GoPro - product tank

[@richwattsart]

Thanks for making all these free to access. I teach design and I find these very useful.

[@rafaeldacruz4898]

I have absolutely no use for one of this. But this looks so cool that i really want one now. Amazin work. Great job

[@arkanadyne]

This thing is awesome. Thanks for sharing your build with the rest of us.

[@abbii1661]

bearing and file folder are the good ideas that i would like to copy. thanks for sharing

[@Sum4Seb]

You should patent this and go into production to sell kits :)

[@Lagartija219]

Very talented indeed! Thanks for sharing. This is such nice work. Will go ahead and have parts made in alu as I guess it will last far longer. I guess you've had thousands of people ask you but here it goes: any chance of plans? Again, very, very nice work. Congrats mate. Also checked out your web site, so many ideas. Never let your mind rest, some day, your day will come my good friend!

[@producttank]

Hi Guillermo, thanks for the comment. I never made any plans as I just did it all as I went along and having made it, it really wouldn't matter if it was an inch or two longer here and there. The head would definitely be improved if made in aluminium. What I'll try to do is take some photo's and put some rough dimensions on them and post them on the blog section of my website soon. I'll let you know when it's done, so there's no need for you to keep checking. PT

[@Lagartija219]

producttank That would, indeed, be fantastic! Many thanks for time taken to share. I will give it a shot and render them in SolidWorks... let's see where this will take us. Will keep you posted.

[@producttank]

Guillermo Contreras If you go to the 'thought stream' section of my website, I have posted some basic dimensions for you.

[@Lagartija219]

producttank That's fantastic. Will start rendering this in SW. Will take some time but will keep you posted. It all looks simple enough. Next step? Motor+joystick control of the head! Lets see where this takes us but already I'm feeling great about this project. Thanks for the time taken to share

[@liloldy56]

Very cool. Great craftsmanship. Looks like it would be fun to use.

[@SwingWestBand]

Mate. You are simply brilliant!!! Well thought out, indeed.

[@hnatkowicz]

Truly amazing video/ideas. Also, one of the highest like/dislike ratios I have ever seen on KZbin.

[@vincentdieleman1463]

This is absolutely awesome, congrats bro !

[@kienanludke9169]

That Is truly amazing you deserve more recognition.

[@madnessbydesign1415]

Very clever! Do you ever find the light weight to be troublesome (getting unwanted camera due to the light construction)?

[@consulado749]

It looks very nice, well done.

[@samueljimenez7540]

Te felicito amigo por tu ingenio y gran resultado, muy original, sigue así

[@producttank]

Thanks guys

[@kadmow]

+producttank thought?/ re-arranging the "yaw" control arm, to be in front of the pivot would allow >+/- 90 degree for true tangential shooting, though pitch axis would then not operate as intended; gyro-lock would reduce pitch to zero and cross-couple the pitch to roll 100%. Oh well there is always a trade-off (add a pitch servo inside the yaw ring). great demo. The tracking mod is really good functionality.

[@wiktoria_-ks9mz]

+producttank i think you actually could be the one with products for me ,they are awesome

[@producttank]

awesomeKIDGAMER 26, thanks for watching all my videos and for commenting, there's more on the way. ;-) PT

[@wiktoria_-ks9mz]

im so happy your making a nother video soon :-)

[@SolutionDomainNvp11]

after all the way of searching for my taste, finally i found really nice one......very much liked it...............

[@pedrogiesbrecht342]

Good job, great design!

[@fygrafikz4332]

Please do I will be very happy you do the video again with better explanation I really like it

[@brotschuh]

that thing is awesome. I've seen some DIY cranes now, but this thing look really usable. why don't take a bearing vor the pan movement?

[@producttank]

Thank you brotschuh, if I understand correctly, I could use a bearing, but with tests, sliding on the plastic disks is enough. I'm glad you liked my design. PT

[@gruuz]

Four pods is a mistake. A tripod always touch the floor. Congatulation for the head bi movement and its command!

[@deepinderkaur70]

Can u tell me that how u have done up and down unlocked from the controller

[@prathameshsarak1321]

Very nice project pls help me how you made the front part(portion where GoPro system is attached), it's quiet difficult to interpret, can you give the complete list of materials used

[@producttank]

Hi Anouwarul, I can't post the exact link here, but if you go to my website www.producttank.co.uk and go to thought stream (top right of site) this will take you to a load of dimensions

[@albertofernandez3930]

Hello, first congratulate you on your design. I would like to build one for me, you got some tutorial of how to make the pieces of wood, or if you can share some background? I thank you, greetings

[@producttank]

Hi Alberto, there are dimensioned photographs on my blog: producttank.squarespace.com/thought-stream/ Hope these help. PT

[@andreasdening]

Mr.Brain !!! nice

[@FishnTv]

this is just badass

[@reddygaru7627]

wonderful

[@vicnothuman]

i want to build that ....... I NEED THAT!!!

[@yognut72]

i like camera jibs but only if i can get them for like 30 ft those ones are siiiiccckkk

[@woopize]

Amazing!

[@MILOSENTROPIA]

is the project available for download?

[@MatthiesWesche]

Since you're not going to use this for your (or your child's) cereal...why not do some damage to it to improve it? Drill a hole into the actual bowl, right behind your camera. Then mount a threated rod hanging down from the bowl to add weight and a lever to make the whole construction more dull (i hope that's how you'd discribe it....you know what I mean, eliminate all those little shakes) and that should pretty much do it. Maybe put a curved adhesive mount onto the bowl instead of that tape to be able to adjust the camera after adding weight. l love the basic idea of that thing! Feel free to visit my channel for some (just a few until this day) tricks and tips for diy camera gear and camera use which I got when facing different problems while filming...though it's all german...do it anyway!!!=)

[@producttank]

Thank you Matthies, I will try your suggestion, I think it will really help, I will also visit your channel. I have been working on another video for a GoPro stabilizer which I hope to release by the end of the week. PT

[@munezafranko1481]

❤hello you may show us the process to build the head of this dij crane

[@sirdrakey]

spectacular!!

[@paragkurothe3813]

good job

[@baums5808]

this is awesome.

[@michaelmottlau2072]

well done!!

[@gotagorda2114]

HELLO WELL EXPLAINED THE PROCEDURE JIBS EXCELLENT WORK , EVEN MORE THE SOUNDTRACK , WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SOUNDTRACK SUCCESS IN ALL MY QUESTION RESPOND OJALA ?????

[@producttank]

Hi Gota Gorda, for the last few years I've made all my music myself on the Apple garage band app. It's really easy to use and allows me to make music to fit my films, rather than spend ages trying to find a piece that works. I hope this helps. PT

[@gotagorda2114]

a muchas gracias, si he hecho algo de música en banda de garage, si es muy fácil, pero ese sonido es de un plugins en especial o cual es el instrumento que utilizaste en el programa. saludos y gracias nuevamente

[@davidolivera5646]

gota gorda to thank you very much , if I have done some music in garage band , if too easy, but that sound is a special plugins or what is the instrument that you used in the program. Greetings and thanks again

[@producttank]

+gota gorda +david olivera I just used the standard app, there are no special plugins. The background is made using smart strings in cinematic, I've also used the Whirly piano and normal piano, there is another keyboard on top, which I can't remember, or I might have used echo, but everything was done using the standard garage band app on iPad. PT

[@muzaffarabdulhalim1774]

try use a gearing system, it might make it pan smoother

[@zoltanszepesithebeerguy]

This is brilliant :)

[@ggesports-fb7mo]

Good design but why the LOUD music?

[@miorazeem]

nice handmade :D

[@adamprocter6016]

Maybe next you should design some better shoes :P but in all seriousness i loved it

[@jamesrobert8253]

Brilliant

[@raunakshabrin9805]

Why you didn't make a film?

[@lalithabhaskaran3452]

Super bro

[@ScudoCamper]

Brilliant mate. :-)

[@healthyhabitsafricaltd5565]

Yes

[@RahulChauhan-wy8nx]

thanks bro

[@ArchieSymes]

wow! How do you come up with these amazing ideas?

[@producttank]

Thanks Young nd' Fr33, I'm actually working on a video explaining just how to generate ideas, going to take me a while though, it's not that easy to explain ;-)

[@SlaviTerziev]

[@emiliodominguez9254]

Maybe release a tutorial? I reckon you could do some amazing Howto's

[@producttank]

Hi Emilio, it's something I'm planning to do for future projects, it's difficult to know what equipment people have access to, but I'm working on a camera stabilizer at the moment that I hope anyone will be able to make. PT

[@Kristopherguarniz]

BROO YOUR THE SHIEEET!!

[@aljaz123123]

can you do a tutorial for your stand?? please!! :D

[@producttank]

Hi aljaz, the stand is really easy to build if you have access to a pillar drill, otherwise it's quite difficult, I'm working on a new tutorial that will hopefully be better than this, coming soon. Pt

[@haarisarain5048]

Are blueprints available?

[@producttank]

Hi Haaris, no blue prints as such, but measurements are available on my website here: producttank.squarespace.com/thought-stream/

[@calvinhuddleston576]

[@funboys1548]

Ok

How to make camera jib

[@wimolimo7541]

please make a tutorial for the body and the head :)

[@producttank]

Hi Timo, there are dimensions on my website: www.producttank.co.uk/thoughtstream This should give you enough detail to build one. PT

[@wimolimo7541]

producttank Okay, Thanks

[@Творческаямастерская-к6к]

супер! спасибо!!!

[@davidhefner5668]

Nice design. I would make it from High Density Polypropylene material (black). It comes in both sheet thick to thin. Also rod. Google: U.S. Plastics Company.
