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

Guys, in this episode I wanted to show you how you can build a super durable and super smooth orbit camera rig for about $100.
You can put on it any camera, any gimbal with any lens because its maximum payload capacity is over 150 kg .
What's more, you don't need any complicated tools to build it, and all the components are generally available in online stores.

2. two aluminum plates - you can find at your local dealer

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

[@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!

[@michaellongstaff4716]

Thank you, Adam! I love how inspiring and detailed your build videos are.

[@BestboyAdam]

My pleasure MIchael !!!

I love you, Adam.

[@BestboyAdam]

love you too 🦾

[@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.🛠

[@ononearts]

Elegant simplicity and strength. Thank you!

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.

That was absolutely awesome. Thank you!!!

[@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 !!!

[@eliafranke]

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

OMG!!! Thank you so much this is a great DIY video!!!!

[@zizou40]

You posted an episode at the right time. I'm in the process of making one. I have the same camera. I hope to make a good one. Thanks for the inspiration

[@BestboyAdam]

Zizou Great to hear that !!!

[@EugeneMaynard]

Another classic breakdown!👏🏾👍🏾🙏🏾

[@BestboyAdam]

thank you Eugene !!

[@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!

[@jdogbirdeye]

Wow, I have never thought of this even thought I have built few 360 booth but this one I really like, Great job

[@pakozdiattila]

Thank you, Adam! Good idea and awesome shoots...

[@aspensplace3293]

A very practical and flexible design. Well done.

[@ok4240]

it's absolutly amazing, i had exactly the same idea with same material, I planned to used karting pieces. Big thanks from france

[@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 !!! 🦾🦾🦾

[@RFFilmmaker]

Amazing work! Thanks.

[@presence360]

Fantastic Channel thank you so much. After having put creativity on a side for a while I'm going to start building some stuff again. 😊😊

You’re a genius!!! Thank you for this 👍🏽 👌🏽

[@3d8d]

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.

Dope DIY idk about how cheap it'd be but definitely 👌🏾

[@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.

[@christophmartin5381]

Thank you!

[@zimtshots]

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.

Love You, Love you, Love You Adam 😍 grate work 💪 man. I'm from India and just saw your work it's really very cost efficient and needful thing for photographers salute for you hard work and research behind this which you had shown in an simple manner, Thank Man good wishes for future success, keep developing 😊 Small request if you can make an small camera rig for product photography or Videography it would be very help full and useful for us to generate some money from it if possible for you can you please make it Adam 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@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??

[@sspam5675]

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

[@Ben-id1tc]

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.

[@HiHaiNgo]

TYSM! Which is the clamp that you're connecting to your camera?

[@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

[@skatetheslate21]

Great video! How long is the steel shaft?

Chciałem napisać coś mądrego i sprytnego ale chyba nie ma słów by opisać to co ty robisz... Szczena na glebie i tyle.

Dzięki stary !!!!

[@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

[@switchflixbrosamo9115]

Nice

[@tinanginger]

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

[@lapetitedescente]

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

[@ondrej_snopek]

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

[@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.

[@Mightymitefilms-john]

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

[@photoray002]

Nice video. The long rails where you two were sitting on the pipe at the end of the video, what diameter and gauge aluminum pipe are you using?

[@BestboyAdam]

50mm about 3m long

[@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 .....

[@cheeesyyyy]

This is so brilliant! Sorry if I missed it, I went through a few times to see if I had, but what was the final overall cost for you to make this? I went through your links to start adding it all up by some things are to source ourselves locally so I'm just curious what your final spend was?

[@TeamWestAnna]

He listed the price at $100 in the description, though I'd be curious what you found the price estimate to be
