READ ME!! (EDIT) - I have finally FIXED the problems with this design by replacing the tripod leg and the cabling system with different materials. Watch this video here www.youtube.com to see what I did! (EDIT) - Felt I needed to add this because of an unforeseen flaw: _________________________________ The twisting of the arm because of the weight of the camera being to one side makes it more difficult to use. At ground level, it tilts clockwise a bit, when it is mid-level (parallel with the pivot point, it is perfectly level, and when it is up high, it tilts slightly counter-clockwise. I can fix this in post, and have used this on two shoots already. but it is a pain. _________________ Lightweight, VERY portable, and achieves tilt. Ok - the title is a bit misleading. I already had almost everything I needed to make this new jib. So yes, it only cost me to make. If you bought the parts now it would cost approximately -35 depending upon how much the tripod costs. I used parts from an old Targus tripod (mainly the legs) to create the arm for the jib, and then used L-brackets and a bunch of nuts and bolts. I specify at the end of the video what parts I used and how many. I also go into DETAILED information about how I made it. Sorry for the wind noise in the shots outside. It was REALLY windy and my shotgun mic's windscreen was not holding up. IMPORTANT - if you try this yourself, you need to start with a VERY STURDY TRIPOD as the source for your parts.
