Top Down Desk Camera Rig

myminifactory

I designed this flat storage camera rig to capture top-down shots of my desk. It's essentially a large saw-horse that I attach my Joby flexible tripod to, and it functions flawlessly! The plastic components were slightly too loose of a fit for the 2x2 beams I purchased at Home Depot, so you may want to scale down everything by 1 or 2 percent for a snugger fit. Alternatively, I used a generous amount of epoxy, which works just as well. Be sure to consult my length chart for the wooden pieces to ensure a proper fit; however, feel free to adjust the dimensions according to your specific needs! Also, please watch the video for detailed assembly instructions.
