Hey guys!
I’ve had a bunch of comments on this camera rig I’ve constructed, so I threw together a video showing how it works!

This rig can be modified for different cameras – I use a Logitech C920, and I have used my Quickcam Pro 9000 with this rig as well. It doesn’t seem unlikely to me that you could set up a larger rig for something like an SL1, but I haven’t tried anything that big.

If you’re not one for reading the description of YouTube videos, here’s all the important information:

This is based on David Boddy/pe668’s camera rig, and detailed pictures of that can be found here. You can see it in action in one of his THACumentaries.

Things you’ll need to build this:
2 worm gears
2 normal gears – the 24-tooth size is what I use, but you can use whatever you want (they will have different results, of course)
A few axle pieces, pins, etc.
A handful of technic arms and bricks
A weight so it doesn’t fall over
Assorted other pieces to design to your heart’s content (and to the point at which your rig won’t be falling apart)

Hope this helps!
