Hi there.. Thanks for sharing your knowledge, I just built mine and been so happy with the result,,,i just so love how my videos were taken with this swift and smooth steadycam..made myself so proud and made my friends so happy whenever i take them videos with it. And i am using my smartphone so i connected a phone bracket,,just modified some parts like the handle,i placed a coupling and i also had a big u-joint just in case i want to shoot with a dslr and pimped it with colored screw nuts.. i love this video,,i actually viewed this many times. Im so proud of you.. You really helped me a lot. A lots of thank you and god bless. From THE JOHN GALLERY Philippines.

[@e.mcclain1171]

[@luz1579]

You're making great videos ! Keep on doing that! You had my sub after a few seconds of seeing that awesome DIY project ;)

[@Soarpix3D]

I'm glad you like them, thanks a lot for your comments and for subscribing =)

[@borolsztyn]

Great! I think using universal socket wrench joint is a great idea! So simple! Thanks!

[@guixfdez]

this product is what makes the differences between a profesional videographer and an aficionate videocreator. Nice video :) subscribed

[@CyborgGamingChannel]

Great video, very imformative. Not to mention, that fantastic test footage! =D

[@Soarpix3D]

+Cyborg Gaming Thanks! =)

[@Excityboy63]

Built mine over the last few days.... Works great indoors but yet to test outside in the horrible British weather. Found the exact sam torch in Wilkinsons in the UK for £2.99 but I had to modify the heads of my screws so they didnt catch on the universal joint. Well worth the effort though. Great DIY design,,,,, Well done :-)

[@MattSmiith]

+Adrian Melina Hi Adrian, do you happen to have a link for the torch? I'm struggling to find it.

[@risco1974]

Great video man. Where did you get that flashlight and the bearings. Thanks

[@186andy186]

Thank you for the Inspiration. Build one based on you design and it works fine!

[@Soarpix3D]

+Andreas Knauss Great! Thanks!

[@OMARENGG22]

Very nice work.

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks!

[@jzamorathec]

The best video !

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks!

[@SailingBlueBird]

Great tutorial. I've been to Biltema today and bought some parts for my little DIY. Great website too :)

[@Soarpix3D]

Sailing Blue Bird Thanks!

[@archiehunt3651]

Can you make a gopro slider thanks that was a great video!

[@tibaut7005]

Hi there, are there any precise measurements for the flat bar? Or is it just random? Awesome concept btw!

[@Soarpix3D]

Tibbi Hi Tibbi! The size of the flat bar isn't that important I think. You can find length and measurements for drilling on my website www.soarpix.com

[@Robert-vn8ih]

Amazing video

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks!

[@janjansen6067]

You've got far too little subs and views for the great video output!! Keep on the good work!

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks man!

[@MattSmiith]

Great idea! I'm looking to make it at the moment but I can't seem to find where to get the bearings in the UK? Do you have any idea?

[@kaspermichels]

Try skateboard or rollerblading shop

[@kplandscapinglawncare563]

great video but i was wondering how i could mount it on my zero turn so the video is not so bad any ideas

[@indrafasya3059]

hi there, i've got a question. how you attach that screw to the socket wrench ??? im trying to build that gimbal but seems the screw always got of from the socket, thanks and great build

[@Soarpix3D]

Indra Fasya Hi there! You have to grind the screw head (square) to fit the socket. I have some pictures on my webbsite soarpix.com/GoPro-DIY/gopro%20steadicam.html

[@indrafasya3059]

aaah i see, thanks for the explanation. keep making awesome things :D

[@itravelogue]

great video! really helpful and perfectly detailed. Can you pls tell me the size of the Universal Joint? is it 1/2' or 1/4 '. Thanks

[@Soarpix3D]

Thanks! It's 1/4"

Awesome.Thank you so much

[@NomadTerraCrawlers]

How about those square flat pieces of metal? What are the measurements of those (and what are they called?). Cause I know they are important to keep the whole piece balanced to the GoPro unit. Good job on the video. Thanks!

[@Soarpix3D]

+Nomad Terra Crawlers They are called square washers and you can find the measurements on my website soarpix.com/GoPro-DIY/gopro%20steadicam.html

[@NomadTerraCrawlers]

+soarpix.com I should've paid more attention to the links. Thanks! The only thing I'm troubled with is the flashlight. What kind of flashlight (measurements and brand used)? Thanks again.

[@juanriverafilms]

Thats so great!

[@wongjisiang6096]

What's the proper name for the 8mm socket 1/4"? Or do you have a part number for it?

[@RaymondKenneth23]

What are the degree bends of the flat bar? Also, how did you bend the bar?

[@Soarpix3D]

+Raymond ”RJ” Williams Hi Raymond! I bent it by hand. I've added a template to my website. You can download it here: goo.gl/XX144q

[@KimseaKh]

too bad I couldn't find any of these stuff here in Cambodia.

[@Rinzler1904]

how are the bearings and the flashlight attached?

[@rickpena36]

what brand socket joint did you use? i can't find one that can come apart.

[@Soarpix3D]

+rickpena36 It's a Swedish brand called Biltema =)

[@nurazamtalib7537]

soarpix can you give me the detail angle of alluminium?

[@Soarpix3D]

+Nurazam Talib Hi! You can find the template to my website. or download it here: goo.gl/XX144q

[@javincortez8922]

would this work for a dslr camera?

[@Taekwondoinmyblood]

Hej! Fick tag i en likadan ficklampa m.m men undrar hur du fick kullagren att sitta fast? antingen sitter mina fast hela och snurrar inte eller så får jag dom att snurra men är lösa i ficklampa. Tacksam för hjälp! :)

[@seenscreen]

ok, why don't you show how hold it and let's us see if realy keep balance?

[@angelcolonramirez8483]

Would this handle work for stabalizing snowboarding/skiing videos?

[@Soarpix3D]

+Angel Colon Ramirez I think it could be difficult to keep it stable. strong wind could also be a problem.

[@angelcolonramirez8483]

Thanks for the speedy response. Do you happen to know a DIY for something that could stabilize a snowboard video?

[@Soarpix3D]

Angel Colon Ramirez Are you filming while you are snowboarding or do you film someone else snowboarding?

[@angelcolonramirez8483]

Film someone else

[@Soarpix3D]

+Angel Colon Ramirez I would try using this technique: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4u4lXibhtylidk I use it a lot, and it is a great way to film steady with your GoPro

[@madelynchristel1430]

How much did this cost roughly?

[@Soarpix3D]

+Madelyn Christel Roughly 35-40 Euro

[@funikvardhan4143]

is this work for DSLR CAMERA.. ?

[@Soarpix3D]

If you make it bigger and with more weights it may work. I have made a similar for DSLR what you can find on my channel.

[@xmotoAsiek]

You know why shots at the end are so short? Cuz bearing cause cam to f***g rotate itself left&right! Tested.

[@Soarpix3D]

+xmotoAsiek You can find more test footage here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2nFp2lse66In5Y

[@TheNotSoGeekyGamer]

everything is amazing but i have one critique..... the music

[@newenflat]

How to use this?

[@Soarpix3D]

+NEWEN FLY You just hold the handle and walk around with it =)
