This is golden. I've watch so many video on DIY stabilizers and a lot of them were good but I had a budget of $0. This works because I'm lucky enough to have over 1000 pieces of technic lego sitting in a closet. Plus this is the only diy stabilizer with vertical stabilization that I can find. Thanks so much for posting this

The short answer is yes, you can make a body holder (that goes over the shoulders) that will hold a DSLR, this is exactly what steadycam does, it wouldn't work in Lego though, but in wood or aluminium extrusion.

@producttank10 жыл бұрын
Hi Sam, when I started building this stabilizer I searched around and the cheapest one I could find was about 60 quid, which I felt was too expensive for what they were. Also none of them had the Vertical movement dampener, so I thought I could make one that was better than what I could currently buy. That was the challenge anyway! So I built one and then in use realised it would be even better with a phone or iPad attached with the GoPro app, so that I can see what I'm filming. In hindsight I think you're probably right, it would have been far quicker to buy one off ebay as you suggest, but I had fun making it and I learnt a lot in the process, it cost me very little apart from my time and I think it is far more functional than what you can currently buy for 20 quid, but if I had to do it all again and it wasn't about the journey, more just about getting straight out there and filming with my GoPro, then if they work, a cheap one off ebay is the way forward! 😄 PT

Hi Pierre, it's really difficult to do a step by step tutorial for this design, because it's just down to what lego you have. For this reason, I tried to show the principles. I've tried making this in various ways and they all work as long as you balance it properly. As you don't need any tools, all I can suggest is that you have a go and learn as you go along.

Hi Pivot, sorry for the late reply, my broadband has had issues. The first stabilizer is similar to many DIY versions on KZbin, the only real difference is that I've used old camera film pots filled with coins to balance it. I can do a tutorial, but you'll need a pillar drill and what you'll end up with will be really heavy to use for more than 10 minutes, which is why I ended up building one for my GoPro. Hope this helps;-)

Hi. 1. Roughly how many hours did it take you to finalize the Lego and/or the Cardboard design? How about how long would it take someone do you think it would take someone to build something similar? 2. How durable is the Lego 3L joint? 3. How easy it is to disassemble/pack/reassemble (for instance taking in you bag to a a local 30 mins away)? Thanks
@producttank9 жыл бұрын
Hi Lonerider, once you have the principles and enough Lego, it takes about 2 hours to make. For someone to build something similar allow 3-4 because we all have different Lego. As long as you're only supporting a GoPro or similar, the 3L joint is fine, mine hasn't broken yet. It's easy to disassemble, but you have to be careful transporting it. It's far more durable if you glue the Lego together or wrap it in tape, which you have to do for strength anyway. Because the camera and Lego is really light, it's not good in windy conditions. If you have the tools etc, making something similar in wood is better, but not everyone has access to a workshop. Hope this helps. PT
@lonerider689 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the info. I do agree that the factory-made stabilizer seem pricey for what they actually are. However, in my mind there are the two saying "nothing is truly free" and "Linux is only free if your own personal time has no value." In that line of thinking, if I spend the 4 hours it would take me to build a Lego-stabilizer instead to work a half-shift for $15/hour... I would be able to buy a factory-made stabilizer that is guaranteed to work, more durable and easier to store. So then it sort of becomes a question of whether this is actually "cheaper" for me personally. This totally looks like a great hobby project for someone who is mechanically minded.

Hey, great concept. I tried to rebuild it from this video, but struggled at putting the 3L joint in the right position... How did you manage to keep the blanace? In my build the camera always swings down rapidly and there is no sign of balance at all... :( I'm confused and I can't really tell what you there did from this video, so I hope you can help me maybe. Cheers!
@producttank9 жыл бұрын
Hi Enduroswag, start by putting the 3L joint under the camera in its centre, then moving it backwards to the rear of the camera. If the camera swings down too rapidly, you have too much weight or not enough beneath the camera in the arms, so taking everything off until you have the bare minimum frame. Now add weight gradually testing as you go. You will feel if the camera is the heavy element or the arms are the heavy element by the swing. If it pulls to the left, add a little weight to the right etc. Don't forget, you can add weight up the arms closer to the 3L joint, not just at the base. I also built a leg sticking out of the base that helps. Let me know how you get on. PT
@CombatAirstrike9 жыл бұрын
producttank Alright thank you. I got it balanced with adding some bricks to the frame. The tensioning system was pretty under pressure when i added the rubber bands, so i had to build in some struts to make sure it's not breaking while filming. But i guess i finally put it all together now and it's working. :) There are some issues when i'm running or it's windy, but i guess you can't complain if you build yourself a steadicam for actually 0$ ;) Thank you for sharing that awesome design, i really appreciate it! :D

Hi Ibabeanu, I have just put the system on the scales, it weighs 307grams/10.8oz. The problem for your application is because my system is so light, it's very prone to wind movement. Which is fine for me as I'm on the ground, but may not be so good in the clouds! Just using the tensioning system may take out a lot of vibration, reduce weight and provide the answer, you'll just have to experiment. If you have the money, a brushless electric gimbal system would be ideal, but they are expensive. Good luck. PT

Great project, but if you use the sony action cam. You dont need that stabilizer... it is in the software
@Kalhauge7 жыл бұрын
No... Just no... Though there is a stabilizer, it's software based. Software based stabilizers are practically useless since it can only stabilize minute shaking caused by your hands, not by your movement, which his stabilizer does. Software stabilizers also cause somewhat deformation and crop of your image since it needs to compensate for the movement. Even if the stabilizer is hardware based, by having a stabilizer holding the sensor, it wont help that much. The kind of stabilizer he's making is what's called a steadicam, which not only cancels out small vibrations from your hands, but also cancels out larger movement like the ones caused from footsteps. So no... You're unfortunately incorrect.
