DSLR Camera Stabilizer

youmagine

It's clear that balancing a full frame DSLR and heavy glass for cinematography is no easy feat. To tackle this challenge, I've added an arm brace to better distribute the weight and enable control of the stabilizer with the entire arm. The included extensions or a monopod can be used to balance everything in place. A Manfrotto 676B monopod is shown, but any will do the trick. The handgrip features an arca style guide, allowing it to attach to a tripod for added balancing support. All parts are printed in Carbon fiber PETG. To prepare the weights, glue the halves together and fill with lead shot. The weights come in three sizes: large at 500 grams, medium at 150 grams, and small at 100 grams. Balance is crucial, requiring the camera to swing from horizontal to vertical in just two seconds.
