Custom Built Modular Jib / Crane / Boom Arm

admin — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 23:30:08 +0000

*NEW* Due to the responses I have gotten from this video, I am going to draw up a step-by-step tutorial on how to build your own high quality jib with a low budget. If demand is high enough, we may start building these for purchase as well, for those of you who do not wish to build your own. Check back frequently over the next few months for updates and links. ---------------------------------------- This is my custom built Jib. It is a work in progress; I still have a lot more features to add, but the base frame that moves it around is far enough along to post a video. I didn't have enough counterweights at the time of recording so it is a little wobbly because I was trying to muscle it around. Features: 1.Modular: It can be used in the 8 foot configuration, or you can add on the 6 foot extension. 2.Tool-less: Can be set up by one person in about 5-10 minutes without tools. 3.Lightweight: All aluminum construction combined with the modular pieces, allows it to be very portable. 4.Adjustable counterweight position for fine tuning the balance point. Future Features: 1.Camera Zoom/Record/Focus/Iris controls from rear of jib, (almost completed) 2.LCD screen/Audio connections (in progress) 2.Motorized Pan/Tilt. 3.Dolly wheels/track system. I got a lot of inspiration and ideas from this site: www.homebuiltstabilizers.com Music by Disturbed

Sailing the home built wooden boat - the RAID 41 by Michael Storer Wooden Boat Plans. The boat was not a complete success.
