The idea behind this type of rig is, that the weight at the bottom keeps the camera horizontally stabilized. Being able to turn the handle left and right gives you the ability to do smooth

Here’s a picture with a normal camera mounted onto the rig:
The threaded rod is M5 and fits into my cameras easily.
You can use the rig for many occasions.

This is such a simple idea, yet it works so well! I'll have to look into doing this stabilizer, my footage always looks terrible when walking.

It looks interesting, useful and effectively. Thanks
Am I missing a walk through on how to build this?
