Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
After being able to mount a Zoom H4n audio recorder to the rig via the "accessory holder". I now created a holder for it's remote. You can use all of the remote's functions with your left (or tight) hand without letting go of the rig. You also have it's indicator LED in view to find our about audio levels being about to spike (yellow) or spiking (red). Blog post: Thingiverse: ...oh andby MarcusWolschon - Let's design something!

Hello ewaters, found anything? Any idea about the T-connectors? I haver an idea for a hinged one but no time to finish and prototype that design yet.by MarcusWolschon - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)

Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
ewaters: I guess some hinge-mechanism where the ABS does not have to bend could work. Either using 3mm ABS-feed or a long M4 bolt as an axis. My 15mm rods already have holes now, so I don't need it but it would be great for others.by MarcusWolschon - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)

Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
Without any help I resolved to offering T-connectors with bolts that go THROUGH the 15mm rods. At least on one of the 2 sides. That's NOT how a rod-system is supposed to work but at least it does work. I really need help here!by MarcusWolschon - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
ewaters: I need serious help with my T-connectors. I adjusted and modified them about a dozen times but they still either don't grip nearly fast enough or simply break. The side where the layers are orthogonal to the 15mm rod are fine but the other side is never strong enough. (I guess I'll do a quick hack by simply drilling a hole through them and through the rod but that's just because I'm runby MarcusWolschon - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
The printer is working all day already and a good number of parts are already printed. I made quite a number of small improvements and may continue to do so until tomorrow. Looks very good and usable. Photos: Blog and more photos: I don't think I'll have and time left this weekend to do follow-focus and offset-DSLR-rig.

Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
"Object File Format (.off) files are used to represent the geometry of a model by specifying the polygons of the model's surface." I don't think that will be useful here as it's triangles and not volumetric or even parametric. Guess I'll have to design my own just to have it in the same file format as the other parts.

Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
Here are my design files and STL-export. I did not yet print all parts but hope to do so this weekend. Then I'll probably do a lot of updates to and test-prints to make things fit perfectly. I'm using a ready-made quick-release for about 20eur. It can be fixed with a 1/4" or 3/4" bolt (interchangably). Don't worry, that's the only thing that's not metric in my design.by MarcusWolschon - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)

You seem to be using no quick-release, is that correct? What do you think is the optimal distance between the 2 rod-systems horizontal and vertial?

The change I started this morning is complete.

Cool wireless follow focus on Thingiverse: I'll probably design only a simple one and use that one later. It looks so much better then what I had in mind.by MarcusWolschon - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
Francoo, why do you think you need a working 3d printer to help DESIGN something? Ideas, feedback, drawings and maybe a 30 day trial if a CAD program are all that Is needed. Feedback is important to keep going.by MarcusWolschon - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)

Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
Yes, I know the stuff from Jag35. Even though 15mm rods are harder to get then standard 12mm and 16mm and 60mm center-to-center spacing is sub-optimal for the quick-releases I'm using I decided to stay with these measurements to be compatible with commercial parts. So you can combine printed and purchased parts. Not only from Jag35 but from all other rod systems I know too.by MarcusWolschon - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
Here is my current status of the unfinished rig-design. I already printed 1 end-piece and 2 T-connectors and will post the design on thingiverse once I printed it and know it works. I plan this to be next weekend. (I usually print something, then adjust, print again,... until I am satisfied with it before posting it.) The handles are based on my steadycam-handle, thus I know it will fix bicycby MarcusWolschon - Let's design something! (I've got an idea ...)
Re: Camera shoulder rig for DSLR - 13 years ago
Panasonic GH-1 with hacked Firmware and mostly manual Canon FD lenses. Also an FZ100 together with the GH-1 to have a second view or for 3D. I'm using these to learn how to use them and plan to go to APS-C, full 35mm or stay at m4/3 but with a GH-2 around Christmas this year. Maybe a Canon 60D or the upcoming 5D mark III./6D.
