$6 Jib-Crane made from Tripod parts, steel cable, L-brackets and a bunch of nuts and bolts!

Jib-Crane made from Tripod parts, steel cable, L-brackets and a bunch of nuts and bolts! Tube. Duration : 13.20 Mins.

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.
