DIY Camera Jib with Mechanical Pan & Tilt Pt 2

[@MangoVengers]

You should sell the Pan tilt head as a kit. People would defiantly buy it! or make an instructional video!

[@PatrickBryson]

Just a thought, you may have tried it already. Several years back, I built a jib with very similar mechanics. Something I learned was to use a "solid core" throttle cable" because its push\pull ability is stronger and eliminates the jerkys. I figured if thats what its designed to do for cars then it would for a Jib. Its usually more expensive, but much, much better at long lengths over 10 ft. And rarely wear out! BTW great work on this, quite honestly with cnc parts it looks more like slick industrial art piece than a camera jib. :)

Thanks again. You have helped push my work to the next level.

Great job, nice place, beautiful house!!!

I waited for a long time for this video :-D Congratulations. Superb job. I made a jib inspired by yours... I did lube the wires (white grease) and that increased significantly the result (remove the kind of "tic" in the image). Again superb job. Marc

[@JonHiddenColey]

muziqjazz Ha ha! Yes, it certainly was a long time coming. Have you got a video of your jib? It would be good to see it. Thanks for your comments.

[@muziqjazz]

***** Well no. I'm thinking of "reducing" the lenght of the jib to make it more "convenient". Most of my videos are woodturning videos and school video. A long jib is a pain actually. But I appreciated the effect. Marc

[@JonHiddenColey]

muziqjazz I reduced mine by a metre. It was originally 3 metres but felt unstable and required a lot more weight to counter balance.

hi, can I get the Adobe Illustrator design file? because i want to make this for my church and i happen to be in the multimedia department, i am very grateful if you want to help me ...

[@kmcphotography]

Best job sir. I Was last 2 years thought about This Technique but it not Posible. Can U help me this Project for india a lot up Order hear. Get me reply plz sir.

[@AsciiKing]

Would you be willing to share your plans with us? This is beautiful, and I would love to try and build one.

[@InymMeDingyr]

JCjib yours and mine different mechanical head )) you harder you running at 360 degrees My 120 -degree pan JCjib Good job

[@JonHiddenColey]

+arman tolegenov Thank you! Not quite 360 degrees though, more like 270.

Hermosa grua y hermoso lugar.

Hi, that was a job well done building that jib. It looks completely professional and it captures great shots. My only question is, was it actually cost effective to build? I mean vs buying an already made one. Anyway thanks for sharing and once again "Good job".

[@JonHiddenColey]

+Derrick Washington Thanks for your comments. It cost me approx £300 to build the jib. Yes, I could have bough a jib for less but I doubt very much it would have included a pan and tilt system, tripod and monitor. Plus, the sense of achievement designing and building my own jib from scratch to what I think is a professional standard is a great feeling!

[@mr.habovets5975]

Hey. I really liked the idea. It would get drawings of the device. Can I buy them you ??

[@magnon1975]

Who plays the music in the second half? Great video and lovely piece of engineering

[@magnon1975]

sorry just found the details below..Doh!

[@JonHiddenColey]

magnon1975 Thank you! Good job KZbin credited the tune because I wouldn’t have remembered!

[@lifesgood175]

Nice!

[@BarHRanch]

I want one

[@pinkumeher1915]

Price ?

[@garylake9317]

Footage looks a little jerky or is that KZbin doing that.

[@JonHiddenColey]

If you mean jerky as in laggy, then it's KZbin. If you mean some parts show signs of distortion then that's the stabilisation in post which I mention at the start of the video. It's also more than possible that I didn't use the correct shutter speed for the frame rate, but I didn't know about that stuff back then!
