Frage von mystykally:
hi people!
I and my buddies shoot movies as a hobby, we have found the internet in kite building plan to a steady-cam
http://www.hobbythek.de/dyn/16602.phtml
there is described a ball joint, where I can buy some sun?? online-shops, or business in and around Berlin. And even if one of you has good hardware lying around, which he no-longer need and swap them for a case of beer, which is similar, we would be damned happy ^ ^ for when the student is almost always doomed budget
greets mystykally
Antwort von Axel:
Mystykally Salut!
I hope it logs on someone who does not fly about a ball joint somewhere. The most misused parts (from old photo tripods, shoulder rests or reflector brackets) but require more or less complicated process, because as part of the capsule with an extended arm is connected or has no thread. Otherwise, there are matching ball joints of Hama (photo shop) s.15 ¬.
20mm, as listed in the "Hobbythek" - contribution to cost a little more, but that's part of ¬ 15 does, as long as its not a serious draufpackt Canon XL.
Antwort von mystykally:
thank you axel! I'll go off once, and fetch me some sun =)
if you have msn or icq and can give us tips, we would STILL be happier than we tip through this already ^ ^ are
greets mystykally
Antwort von Oldie:
How about with something? Synonymous works quite well.
Antwort von Peter S.:
Probiers times in the next farm equipment repair shop. There gibts joints in all sorts of sizes and designs very favorable.

Antwort von Oldie:
Under 10 Euro for the part shown with M8 is not exactly synonymous expensive.
Antwort von Axel:
Under 10 Euro for the part shown with M8 is not exactly synonymous expensive. And what's next pass the ball? It should already be on every page of a thread joint. Have you installed this part for a steadicam? It seems to me that is not clear is what kind of construction which started with a 90 ° joint.
@ mystikally: I recommend renting a small steadicam, to understand the principle. So I've made and the "handyman" of ABC almost exact replica. If your cam is rather small, could your "steadicam" already out of the handle with ball joint exist s.Stativgewinde which directly leads to an angle of your cam. The handle pointing straight down and forward (away from the angle) is (for example) as balanced as a flexible gooseneck for table microphones, with the her. Very little cams can be synonymous lead very well, by being committed in an old car wheel, bottom center. Very good to hold with both hands. Even easier: just screw on a board of about 35 cm in length, the cam center and pointing left and right to the end of the board a bicycle handle, downward.
Antwort von Oldie:
In principle, this looks like on the Picture of the HBS-Page, just maybe a little better ;-)
The hole is 8mm, as an M8 threaded rod is inside, which is adjusted with a nut on the right Height. The thread, which is seen in front, is synonymous M8, it is screwed a handle (aluminum tube 20mm, with Fahrradsoftgriff). Screwed on top of the threaded rod a Kugekopf (joint sealant in between, because the thread has indeed duty), so the camera can be tilted synonymous run, below the counterweight. Unfortunately I'm not a Picture of my construct, but in my document to which I then create the side (with Camera and all the other stuff I've built so).
Antwort von Nio:
Hello,
You steal me the question out of his mouth! :-)) I am actually come to exactly the same question to ask. Even with the student agrees.
Can you not when you're ready to point to some difficulties?
Thank you in foraus, Nio
Antwort von Axel:
@ Oldie: Your picture could be delayed a call. The design (meaning the small steadicam against the red background) so
no need ball joint, only the fork with the handle s.der column must be fixed so that they swing away. The 90 ° ball joint from the figure has apparently not previously tapped hole, not synonymous with inch size. The mounting with sealing tape might be tricky, because I'd rather invest in an inch threaded rod and thread cutter.
@ Nio: Look at the Picture of oldies, it's perfect and you have a Steadicam for small camcorder. But you Owns XM1 / 2, VX 1000-2100, or even larger models are then asked where the supporting hand is not the side of the cam, but sits directly beneath the center of gravity (usually = camera tripod thread). This is made possible by the angles, arcs, etc., which as I recall, on the synonymous Hobbythek Page are shown (My added primitive but effective example with) the swan neck. This is so interesting, because with the concentrated balance of multiple kilos of the wrist synonymous the smallest tendency to torture is. Tip: buy in a pharmacy at least one joint support. A lot of pictures of handicrafts and suggestions can be found here:

Antwort von Oldie:
@ Axel: A ball joint is not, but basically it's like the rod end from my first picture. Thus, the arm can swing relatively freely. After just the sun is shining, I'm out on the terrace and views have photographed my prototype, it simply lacks the counterweights. The handle can be adjusted in the Height and thus adapt s.The Cam, the inclination of the cam can be adjusted with the ball head. That would probably be the part that looks for the mystykally. The adaptation with sealing tape is not the hit, I know. I am here still looking for a suitable reducer.
