DIY Camera Rig

[LE-Photographer]

Hey everyone,

I built myself a small camera rig. Guess why?
Sure others might be better, but mine is not even half as pricey.

My intention was to built a rig that makes it possible to handle the camera a lot easier and give me the opportunity to make smoother shots.
For that my mission is accomplished.


Here are some pictures of the rig:

I'll give you some videos for comparison soon.
I'll have to change the design a little and a grip for low shots is about to be released soon too.

I already built 3 of those rigs that my friends are using. So if anyone is interested, I could probably built some more.

Let me know what you think and follow me on my blog (http://le-photographer.blogspot.com).

Hey that's pretty cool.

Would be nice if the camera was offset to the left a little to make it easier to use a loupe on the LCD.

Agreed if you could offset the camera it would be so much better. Excellent work for DIY!
