Simple Cable Cam 3D model

I designed this in college, partly because I finished my CAD class curriculum early, and partially because I needed a cable cam for a job I was doing as a photographer. I ended up having to change the design because I couldn't wait for parts to ship to me, but the concept was the same. This model is designed to take small gimbals and camera systems across either a metal cable or a small diameter rope of some kind and is capable of withstanding quite a bit. Depending on how you source your parts, you can make this model either very light or very strong. This was before carbon fiber was readily available to me, but I am sure if you used carbon for some of these parts, particularly anything that can be cut easily lying flat, you could get the weight down considerably.
