Gimbal Camera Stabilizer with Arm Brace

prusaprinters

<p>Turns out that it is not easy to balance a full frame DSLR and lens for cinematography. These things are heavy and holding 2-3kg in one hand is demanding.<br/> I added an arm brace so that the weight is better distributed and the stabilizer can be controlled by the whole arm. You can use the included extensions or a monopod to balance everything. The shown monopod is a Manfrotto 676B but any should do.</p> <p>The handgrip has an arca style guide so that it can be attached to a tripod for balancing.<br/> All printed in Carbon fiber PETG.</p> <p>Glue the halves for the weights together and fill with lead shot.<br/> Large will be 500 gram, medium 150 gram and small 100 gram. Balance so that it takes the camera to swing from horizontal to vertical in 2 seconds.</p> <p>required:<br/> 5x 608 bearings<br/> 1x Thrust Bearing 51106 30x47x11mm from vxb.com<br/> 2x 5/16 1 1/4 inch Hex head<br/> 1x 5/16 5.5 inch Hex head<br/> 6x 5/16 washer or print these<br/> 5x M6 50mm round head internal Allen hex<br/> 2x M4 40mm Hex head<br/> 3x M4 40mm round head internal Allen hex<br/> 4x M4 16mm round head internal Allen hex<br/> 1x M3 12mm<br/> 4x 3/8-16 7/8 inch round head internal Allen hex<br/> 2x 3/8-16 2 inch Socket Set Screw Allen Hex Drive Cup Point<br/> 1x 3-8-16 to 14-20 tread adapter</p> <p>Empiricus@Dremomys</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Wanhao</p> <p><p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Duplicator 6</p></div><strong>Resolution:</strong></p> <p>0.150mm</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>Carbon fiber PETG 5 layers all around 50 % triangle infill.
