RE: Home made camera arm
I have the gorilla, it is ok for a basic, and I mean basic camera arm. I am building my own, hopefully tomorrow. I want 3 arms, similar to pass thrus, but a different style base...still havent finalized just how I am going to design the base. 2 arm joints is better than 1 imo, especially for a lighter camera such as the GL2 where weight is a non issue.
Just the materials alone will be more expensive than gorillas finished product though, so I reccomend just getting it like others said. Aluminum aint cheap these days and steel rusts....I am going the alum route to cut weight.
