DIY gopro camera stabilizer for free - producttank

I wanted to show you how I built a free DIY camera stabilizer for my GoPro digital camera without using any tools, just Lego, tape, elastic bands and a sheet of paper. \rbr\rbrFollowing the GoPro camera crane that I built here: \rbrpeople commented that whilst they liked the design, they couldnt make it for themselves, so for this project, I wanted to build a DIY system that anyone could make without any tools. I made a standard camera stabiliser for my DSLR, but it was far to heavy for prolonged use and difficult for anyone else without a workshop to replicate. I turned to Lego as its fantastic for building rigs for all sorts of things and lots of people have Lego or know someone who has, even if its been in a box in the attic for many years as mine had. \rbr\rbrThere are lots of videos of camera stabilizers on youtube, but this one is different as my design also includes a vibration mount that uses elastic bands to counter shake. Its based on the design of the Steadicam system, but unlike the Steadicam systems I have seen, my vibration system cushions horizontal and vertical movement. I think this really helps take out the vibration caused when walking and is a simple step further than many free home made systems out there.\rbr\rbrThe GoPro is perfect for using in a camera stabilizer system as they are light enough to use all day without your wrist aching. The only problem is without a screen, its impossible to frame shots, so I improved the design further by adding a handle system that holds an Ipad or other tablet with the GoPro app on it, this could also be modified to hold a mobile phone.\rbr\rbrCurrent Camera stabilisers on the market are really expensive for what they are and I hope this video shows how easy it is to make one for yourself, either for free, or for very little money. At the end of the video I make an indoor design using cardboard, tape, a sewing needle, a golf tee and some coins, just in case people watching dont have any Lego near-by.\rbr\rbrFollowing requests, here is a parts list for the Lego version. You can buy peices from various suppliers on the internet, depending on your location.
