In order to make the frame as clear as possible during home photo or video shooting, the camera itself must be securely fixed on a tripod, since it will inevitably shake and tremble in the hands, especially in connection with which it will not work to focus on a specific subject or object.
A home-made swivel tripod for a camera with a guide and a carriage is a low-cost alternative to expensive factory vertical racks. With this simple device, the picture will be clear and will be well stabilized. Moreover, such a rotary tripod for the camera can be made from improvised materials.
The main stages of work
First of all, it is necessary to cut a square blank from sheet metal with a thickness of 2-3 mm, at the edges of which four bolts must be welded. We put two bearings on the bolts and fix them with nuts.
In the center of the plate, drill a hole for the diameter of the mounting stud. The result is a simple carriage for a stand with a camera or camcorder.
As a guide, a section of a profile pipe of suitable sizes is suitable. At the edges of the profile, limit stops for the carriage must be welded. Further, a piece of a round steel pipe is welded in the center of the guide, which will be inserted into the vertical rack of the tripod.
As a result, from the materials at hand we got a budget version of a rotary tripod for a photo or video camera with a carriage and a guide. You can see the detailed process of making homemade products in the video on the website.
