Real good job though!
As Viperos said, would love to see some shots from it.
would love to know what the parts are :)
1. The most important stuff, the "U-shaped foldable bracket" - US $30
2. Tripod top plate for ease of fixing and detaching the camera - US $40
3. Mini tripod with swivel ball head as the gimble- US $10
4. Flat bar for holding and adjusting the counter weight by balancing at different length and angle - US $10
5. Counter weight - US $5
Is this correct?
Curious... How much does it weigh without the counter weight?
我明天想到鴨記購買一套你這樣的配件, 為我女朋友拍片, 可否提供商店名稱方便購買..... 先謝謝你的幫忙!!
其實我用的配件相當普遍，很容易買到的。
至於在尾部銀色的 counterweight，可到售賣門鎖五金的鋪頭找到。
希望你能成功。
多謝你的幫忙!!
But I searched 2 hours, and I didn't find any product.
No bracket like yours, and for the mini tripod, I don't know if each pod unscrew as yours.
take a look:

Thanks to help me.

Tripod screw threads are universal. B&H's ones look OK though a bit expansive. All stuff I didn't collect from the Internet, instead sourced from the cheap cheap China originated camera shop. The most important trick of the black bracket is the two the angle-adjustable arms. The golden one from B&H seems not OK.
Thanks to answer...
Ok for tripods, I think I"ll choose the one who is the lightest.
For the adjustable bracket, humm, I didn't find...I'm searching...
If you have some internet address...lol
I don't think the bracket can be found on Internet. It is just some kind of local cheap stuff manufactured in China.
For the bracket, you can find them on ebay. This auction may be over by the time you're reading this: cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200241960490 so try searching ebay for "Adjustable Pivot flash bracket" to bring up one like this one. Other searches may have similar results.
Toucanlam on the HV20 forum found most of the parts: hv20.com/showthread.php?t=14301
What do you think about this steadicam $99.99?

Thanks...great idea!!
鴨記即鴨寮街，位於"深水土步" 地鐵站 。 (土步 為一個字，音"補" 因是香港字，打不出來)。 英文 Shamshuipo。這街專門售賣平價電器、手機、攝影配件等。
我也想diy一个,很感谢你的视频,我觉得那个mini脚架如果换成万向结的可能会更好
那个配重手抽真难找,请问下KFLeung 大哥那个手抽多重啊,看视频里那个螺丝好像正好可以旋上去,口径和那个螺口正好一样的?
这是类似产品的网页—
ironmongery.com/fur-d-line.html
还有您用来连配重的那块单独的金属板也是在摄影器材店找到的吗,名称叫什么呢?
至于那块黑条把，摄影器材店有售。名字，这个...呀....???

from your Part List
" 2. Tripod top plate for ease of fixing and detaching
the camera - US $40 "
Is all kinds of plate available?
I found the same one as yours, it doesn't include a quick-shoe. plate + quick shoe = about $65. terrible!!
more cheaper one is OK, if the size is similar?
thanks

How does it compare to the figrig? (Results wise not price)
gonna buy the rest of materials.
Where did you find "Counter Weight" of that kind?
What's that for originally?
thanks
today i found the similar one at my shower room. the handle of a glass door :)
I'll buy it.
thanks
question.
did you make a hole in the plastic screw to connect the minipod to the plate(or camcorder)? 0:28~0:29
My one has no hole. did you make it yourself?
yes, a side arm is nice to connect. but I hope to make like yours...
thank u for answering on and on. :-)
I just ordered my flash bracket and am excited to try to build one these and see how it works. Unluckily i didnt know about this while i was in HK but i did find the opteka flash bracket on amazon for anyone who is having trouble trying to find the dual pivot bracket
amazon.com/Opteka-Collapsable-Bracket-Digital-Speedlight/dp/B001EXKJHG/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1223263998&sr=8-12
(i assume this bracket will work right?)
Nothing special about this extension piece, just a flat bar of any metal, aluminum, steel or whatever you have got on hand. The main thing is the slot and/ or screw thread for connecting the U-bracket and counter weight. If you havn't got any similar, please try any wooden stick, metal ruler...... or to explore your imagination as you normally did as I can review from your video.
$$$
payment on paypal? :D
because in my city (jakarta, indonesia) i cant find a photography store that sell this part :
1. Flash bracket
2. Flat bar
3. Counter weight
Webboy found another supply source.
This is really cool. The thing I like most is that ýou are using parts which can still be used for their original purpose. I was thinking about buying a flash bracket, and now I will have a dual purpose flash bracket. Thanks for the video and great idea.
@Skitches Comedy, etc..
Here's a link to the flash bracket:
gadgetinfinity.com/product.php?productid=16860&cat=279&page=1
As close as I could get was this link:
amazon.com/Manfrotto-190LAA-Angle-Adapter-Black/dp/B0007XD33Q/ref=sr_1_193?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1239861322&sr=1-193
Medium or large quick release?

Thanks!
Thank you.
I wish you success. Please try.
Which mini tripod could work?

And where can I get the flat bar?
Hope you can help me, thanks!
I think the Kodar 5.75" is good enough.
I don't have any source from ebay or something in Internet for the flat bar. You may DIY by using any long and rigid strip, such as metal/ plastic ruler.
I bought it from shop rather than on Internet. Instead you can fix the tripod to the bracket arm but not the quick release plate.

(Or enter HAS45 in the search field).

You'll need to get a cap and a base to complete the standoff set.
I was hoping to find this in my local home depot but so far no luck. However, looking at the price on the website perhaps using a peg from walmart is not such a bad idea. :-(.
