Testing Bottle Stabiliser \r\nhttps://youtu.be/Alr-AmQTkI8\r\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kYwr-Piehc&feature=youtu.be\r\n\r\nI'm looking for a super cheap steadicam with no batteries that I can use with one hand, perfect for snowboarding. I've copied the design of a regular steadicam but removed the center rotation axis found in most models. \r\n\r\nThis stabiliser also needs to be portable and fit onto generic GoPro extendable poles that everyone already has. \r\n\r\nTo make it optimal for 3D printing and low cost, I've made the following modifications:\r\n\r\nThe GoPro screws directly onto the 3D printed part in a fixed position, eliminating the need to adjust it.\r\nIt uses 608 skateboard bearings for movement, which can be found on eBay for £1-2. \r\nhttps://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2380057.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X608+bearings.TRS0&_nkw=608+bearings&_sacat=0\r\n\r\n8mm Aluminium tube is used for the axles, also available on eBay for around £2. \r\nhttps://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=8mm+od+aluminium+tube&_blrs=spell_check\r\n\r\nAn M8 caphead screw holds the weight in place - a Coke bottle with a hole drilled in the lid, filled with water to stabilise the camera.
