DIY ORBIT CAMERA RIG - super simple, super cheap, super strong.

[@Dude_Duude_DuUUDE]

thanks Adam you are a ray of light in a dark world. I want to make this so much. I am in UK and priced up the same parts / spec (or best heavy duty equivalent) & the cost came to £350 not including the pipes. That price is including sales tax and delivery. I only mention the price because this is similar for off the shelf solutions readily available. That said, your robust design and obvious flexibility in form and function outstrips all the entry level solutions on the market and is competitive with very expensive solutions, so it is still a great deal and well worth doing. Thank you for the math as well. Awesome!

[@HTOP1982]

This is quite a neat thing. super adaptable, and no component is that extensive that you are "locked-in"

[@MrPhilbautista]

My favorite video rig creator does it again. Thank you for this very nice project and providing us with the parts list to get started. I always look forward to your videos.

[@BestboyAdam]

Thank you men !!! Great to hear that !!!

[@MiroSays]

This looks actually doable! Very cool, perhaps I can build a mini version of this for product shots.

[@mariosanmiguel6947]

Perfect timing!! I was just designing a shot like this i was planning for an upcoming shoot and wasn’t sure how I was going to do it. This completely solved my problem and I can’t thank you enough!!

[@BestboyAdam]

great to hear that Mario !!!

Very Helpful Video, propably i'll try buildinng a smaller version for my studio. The price may be higher at least for people from Germany - also those calculations are for the sturdier version which is more suitable for heavier setups and people: - pipes Alu 50mm x 2mm : 2x 3m, 2x 1,5m, 2x 40cm, 4 x 1,2m for the adjustable pipe stand: 173,69€ - steel shaft h6 30cm x 50mm: 50,10€ - 16x Global Truss 812-B: 99,20 (8 clamps are needed for the adjustable pipe stand) - 6x Global Truss 5032-2B Swivel Coupler: 72€ (4 are needed for the pipe stand) - 1x Selflock Clamp: c.a. 17-19€ (for the cam) - 2x UCF 210 Bearings: 38,90 - 2x Kipp Pipe clamp base K0499: 75,80 - 2x Kipp T-angle clamp K0475: 55,02€ - 4x Kipp levelling foot m10, h= 41mm: 2,92€ - 2x Alu plates 30x30cm 20mm thickness: c.a.190 - 210€ all prices incl. vat In total it's c.a. 790€ - shipping might vary so it's not exact.

[@ArturoAventura]

Thanks for writing it out! Started looking into this and it's very far from 100$ :D But if it would be a commercially put together product, it would cost a lot more, probably close to 2k-3k

[@stuartrae2253]

This is incredible! Thank you for this. What a great video!

[@BestboyAdam]

My pleasure Stuart !!

[@lunavisionnorway]

I love you, Adam.

[@BestboyAdam]

love you too 🦾

[@martinmarkmarkovics7754]

Very nice build, and detailed video! One side note, i would change the ball bearings to cylindrical roller bearings, those are more suit the purpose. Ball bearings don't like high side loads, and with the roller bearings you can significantly decrease the Z height of the rotary assembly. Great video!

[@NickRichter-zv9ym]

This is by far the best and most informative 360 rig build I've seen - immediate subscribe. Thanks for this.

[@danbrockettDOP]

So good Adam, your engineering and grip mind is brilliant. I love DIY solutions, I built my own Kino Diva 200s at 1/5th the cost when the Divas first came out, I thought they were cool but massively overpriced, mine performed better but they were heavier, built my own Dana Dolly when I couldn't afford the real deal. This is an excellent build and idea.

[@BestboyAdam]

Thank you Dan !!! 🦾🦾🦾

Great video! As always

Great video Adam as usual!! Thanks for shareing. Waiting anxiously for your video about Tilta hydra arm mini and Ronin 2. Cheers!!

[@BestboyAdam]

ooo yes I'm in the process💪

[@rolandschmidt1817]

That is nice. I combined a similar construction with the Edelkrone V2 Motor and a timing belt. Now i can replicate every movement and Speed with the Edelkrone App. I Think it´s possibel with many Slider motors.🛠

[@aspensplace3293]

A very practical and flexible design. Well done.

[@eliafranke]

Awesome content as always ❤ This opens up a bunch of new possiblilities. I want to build it right now 🤯👍

That was absolutely awesome. Thank you!!!

Man this was the most easy and clever design 😎 Turned out good. If you put a gimbal you can have even many other types of movements.

[@jesuisladescente]

hey thinks for sharing, do you have the sizes of the aluminium pipes as well please ?

[@FlyingJackalope]

Super cool video. These parts are nowhere near $100 for the 50mm pieces but I am still going to build it. And now I will have a lot of those parts to make other things too. Very cool idea, dude.

[@smartideas-pedro1690]

Very versatile indeed, worth the effort! Great piece of gear and video.

[@eekseye666]

Awesome video! And such a pleasant model!

My favorite part was math class 😅 jokes aside, it's the first video I watched from you and it was so nice. Pozdro!

How do you buy the Kipp connectors? No experience buying there and all I see are CAD downloads

[@evgeniy9582]

what is the diameter of the aluminium pipes you are using? Love the setup

[@RFFilmmaker]

Amazing work! Thanks.

[@ayden3461]

Adam was considering a photo booth. The cheapest I found was under $400. I am impressed with you vision in designing this. Is there a way to motorize it? My daughter is wanting something for her birthday party.

[@sspam5675]

Very nice! I am seriously contemplating adopting your set-up. What are the dimensions of the plates? Eyeballing I would guess 30x30x4?

[@Mightymitefilms-john]

the wesbite on KIPP has multiple variations of clamps, is it K0499.18, K0499.30, K0499.40, K0499.50?

What do you call the pipe clamp. Cant seem to find it anywhere here.

For some reason we cannot get 50mm pipes in the US. What is your source for pipes?

[@slambk]

hyper impressed Adam, where are u located? can you sell it out? I mean make me one with out the aluminium pipes please any advice .....

[@therealiamlove]

Does 3:1 formula work for counterweight balance? 150\50 = 3… 3 *4kg = 12kg

[@WhatsMyLane]

What was that single clamp to hold the camea onto the rig? I cannot find anything like that in my searching, Im from the UK and I am trying to make a smaller version. Thanks

[@ondrej_snopek]

Where do you buy those clamps? Im from czech republic and i cant really find any online store which would sell them.

[@CSGPhotos]

Beautiful video! What was that lens you were using for product shots?

[@skatetheslate21]

Great video! How long is the steel shaft?

[@jrtvproductions_]

How long is your pipes that you used

[@bratan007]

Thank you for great video! Which clamp are you using @5.42 to attach camera to pipe?

[@samskirrow]

This is so great!! Question, what is the bounce like on the end?? I’m thinking of building this with a rotary encoder to track the camera…but it wouldn’t work too well if there is bounce as it moves??

[@rgesualdo]

what are the measurements for the aluminum plates?

[@VOTECHGURU]

Very nice. Subbed.

Will you ever have a tutorial on your cable cam setups for event venues? You used a cool setup for your pool swimming shots in one of your videos.

amazing, thanks for the share.

[@902MediaUK]

solid rig, awesome 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

[@beautilfulportraits7255]

wow are you going to do one which is motorised then you have a 360 overhead photobooth

[@AnthonySell]

It looks as if the entire weight of the bars, camera and counterweight is being held up by the four set screws in the bearings. Is that correct? Did you have to drill holes in the shaft to seat those?

[@VladislavTyo]

Вполне достаточно - 4шт. болт M10.

[@ravemanik]

Genius :D Love it!

[@brianchilds]

what's the clamp for your camera called?

[@MsPortugalec]

Strobe and rolling shuter?

[@slambk]

do u mind assiating with this. " two kipp connectors -30 mm plastic version " where did iu use this in the projject? are they strong enough to carry the weight? it says plastic ... that's what made me skeptical, please assist ... thanks

[@DIWHYDOTLIFE]

Nice build! Insta360 also has a Bullet Time shooting mode on their 360 cameras that can get this look too but it requires you to swing the camera and your arm is kinda awkwardly raised in every shot.

[@DIWHYDOTLIFE]

I climbed into a tree to get this shot: kzbin.infoXYebFI2uIuY

[@hopphotofilm]

Nice but where to get all those parts?

[@portraitpros.photos]

It seems a much wider base plate is needed so a model doesn't tip it over. Maybe 48 x 48?? That would add weight.. but lots of stability

[@Powersfilms]

In your example, what size aluminum base plates are you using?

[@BestboyAdam]

30x30x2 cm

[@montehalthon7831]

Hay bro, could you do a video on Dji Ronin 4D FLEX + Tilta Float Balance with the post. Nobody else has it up and I can’t balance correctly.
