Wyoming B.S. Thread

Yup, making this, this week.

That's pretty cool, I think the dude needed some bigger counter weights on the bottom though. I don't think he would've has as many adjustment/balance problems as he did.

 

Yea, I'm gonna try a few things different I think. Overall though solid starting point!

Made a trip to the hardware store just now and got all the parts minus the quick-release mount and the rc halfshaft for the gimbal. 15 bucks, score. Should really be fun to start shooting some video with!

Monte, the old lenses we have from our dads cameras are really good for video I realized cuz you can change the fstop on the lens and focus is way smoother than our kit/50mm lenses. 60d isn't half bad with video man! 720 at 60fps looks nice. On top of having a sweet summer wheeling we should have some sweet documentation of it

Here's the original vid of that stabilizer. Skip in a ways to see him run some test footage.

will do. Probably gonna be a week before the rest of the stuff gets here.

the other design I thought about was the simple two legged design without a gimbal where you just balance it on your hand. probably would have been even cheaper but I thought id give the gimbal deal a try.

 

Nice!! Hope it works well..MIT have to make one if it goes well.

I know out cameras do nice video and the fd lens are favored big time for vid.

My tripod just is so flimsy ever time I try and do stuff it's shaky.


Hope it works man cauuuuussseeee......then....wy meet vids

 

if it goes well i can whip up a few of the "frames", then all you guys would need to do is supply your own slide bar and quick release, or just thread it on to the track bar every time whatever you want.

 

that would be sweet...well..you could for me since I have the same setup pretty much..gage not so much.

 

What's happened here..

 

Ya weird, how theres now 50 more pages shown but they're busted, hmm.

Edit: looks like when you click on the last page icon it's too many redirects for the browser to handle going back to this page... Somehow 80 pages got added to the page que.

 

WTF?? 80 pages??? thats....odd...we don't talk that much! haha

Edit: and now they are gone...odd

 

Is a forum platform change in the near future that you know of? May be some background stuff goin on.

and yes, the weights will be identical for both our rigs since we both have the same lenses too

Wouldn't be too hard for gage to balance for his though. or were you thinking of something else

 

Another Vedauwoo visit w/ CTC, today.

 

gages camera is supa light haha probably make a smaller rig in general..

and yes..TW is getting a big overhaul this year..going to the same sorta setup as the new tundra forum.

 

HA! used a traxxas U joint..hilarious..used to have a EMAXX lol

 

haha right! that was one of the reasons I had to do it.

and that's true about gages cam, pretty small. if he's getting a gopro too he could make a nice small one I bet.

 

If i get a go pro...ill just get this: http://xproheli.com/products/xproheli-xpg-brushless-gimbal
Worth it....as ...i want a heli bad..haha

xpro just released their newest copter..fuckin huge!
