Zhiyun Smooth Q Video Rig/ Cage

thingiverse

This is a work in progress. I have uploaded the Solidworks files should you desire to make this fit a different gimbal. I designed this to work with 1/2" metal conduit and use some M3x20 screws I had laying around. I designed this because I wanted to have the actual motion of the camera centered with where my hands would be (still missing the grips and handles) the orientation on the rendered image is how I expect to have the gimbal (technically upside down). hopefully I can figure out the handles soon because I already have everything else printed and working! I alse set it up so that the handles are connected with a 3in 5/16" bolt in order to have the ability to balance the rig itself. You will need 4 of the handle brackets printed Update************ I finally got the whole thing assembled and it works "ok". the handles need to be revised in order to prevent them from moving while you shoot. Overall it came out ok. I made my rods 18" for the main rail and 8" for the handles.
