After a year of filming, and 29 videos. I've had enough... Enough of my TRIPOD! Constantly messing with all the levers, toggles, legs and whatnot has really been gnawing at my sanity. So I went all out and made a ceiling mounted, 2 axis gantry with a 6 foot, spring balanced, articulating arm that can reach literally every corner of my shop from floor to ceiling. And I don't know what took me so long. I'm never looking back!

Enjoy!

PATREON - A Life Changing Filming Upgrade || INHERITANCE MACHINING

Welcome back to the machine shop! For over a year I’ve suffered through using a camera tripod to film all of these videos and I’ve finally reached my breaking point. So for this build I’m making an articulating arm for mounting my DSLR camera. And better yet, I’m suspending it from a ceiling gantry that spans my entire shop. The balance arm will be similar to those used with desk lamps, only much larger and much more robust. And the arm will be mounted to a 2 axis gantry system made up of unistrut channel and unistrut trolleys. This is a perfect little engineering and machining project that not only results in something cool, but is a serious improvement to day to day life! #inheritancemachining #machineshop #hobbymachinist Patreon (Early Access + Ad Free + Drawings) - https://www.patreon.com/inheritancemachining Drawings Store - https://inheritancemachining.com/?product_tag=drawings Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/inheritancemachining/ Website - https://inheritancemachining.com/ Thank you again to the Micrometer level Patreon members listed at the end of the video!

such a nice build! you could use the trolley for lights too!

PJ

Well Done, Brandon...was wondering if you would get around to this. Feels real robust and smooth. A 2 axis gantry plus the 3 axis articulation, Yahtzee. Loved the bushing press fits and tube internal supports. Should work for many years and a million subs. ~¿@ Will be curious to see if you have any wobble/vibration issues translated through the walls/ceiling or rolling due to settling. I've thought a couple of times about using a steady rest type gimbal at the camera end...a real good precision project. ;-) Also Really glad I didn't make a guess! Hat Tip, ~PJ

Dennis Shubitowski

That is a really, really nice build. Excellent vision for usage. To bad when you upgrade the camera you will have to re-do the springs 😜

Alexander Ha

That’s sweet now to add some robotic actuators and get some nice smooth pans in the videos!

When you realize that the setup was probably even more jank while trying to capture the jank setup with the cannon. Jankception.

Thanks, PJ! I've already been using it for the next project and so far I haven't run into any translation of vibrations to the arm. I have discovered a few spots where the gantry will roll a bit, I think its from the weight bowing the rails on the ceiling, but that should be an easy fix.

Jeffrey Spoor

You've impressed me again Brandon, nicely done!

Shao Zhang

What about brakes and locks for the gantry and arm? Won’t those creep on you otherwise?

Richard Kramer

Are the drawings for this available? I have a riflemakers vise I built and I need a gantry like this to attach a light to so I can do detailed work in the custom rifles I build.

Hey Richard! I don't have any formal drawings for this but i do have some scale sketches I could send you. They are missing most of the dimensions but none are really that critical to begin with. Shoot me an email if you would like a copy of them.
