The link you have posted is to Jesse's site. He's in the process of building on from scratch. If you look at the bottom of his posts there should be a link to the discussion on this board. E... |

Depends on if you're trying to accurately replicate a Steadicam III arm, or if you're going to use artistic license If you're trying to do an accurate replica, you'll either need to wait or start building your own from all the pictures and reference at the site you listed and my project page at: www.vision-forge-graphics.com/jesse/props/m56_project.htm If you're NOT striving for accuracy and using artistic license, there is a good plan set finally available from a man named Cody Deegan. He's developed almost a cult following in the homebuilt stabilizer community since he's done such a good job with his plan set. You can find more info directly here: www.codydeegan.com/ or at his forum, which spawned off of the Homebuilt Stabilizer forum because his plans were so popular. The Homebuilt Stabilizers Forum Cody's Plans spawned forum If you go to the demo section of the codydeegan.com site, you can see that this is a nicely working homebuilt rig. Particularly fun to watch is the clip "Testing", and at at the end shows the working rig in the mirror. Also, the first clip, "Contrast", shows the rig (and the difference between using a rig and hand-holding the camera Best, Jesse "Happiness is a warm smartgun." |

We each have our own little (or big) areas of expertise, and mine happens to be the smartgun and it's associated hardware BTW, I'll probably end up buying Cody's stabilizer plans for implementing a good working stabilizer arm to go with my vest and the Glidecam 4000 that I have at work Jesse "Happiness is a warm smartgun." |

I forgot to add that if you go to the Homebuilt Stabilizers website (as opposed to the forum), there are lots of pics of homebuilt arms in the gallery there. You might get helpful ideas Homebuilt Stabilizers Jesse "Happiness is a warm smartgun." |
