I had a creative project idea to design and build a camera boom arm for filming my KZhead Videos in my garage workshop. This DIY woodworking project goes through how I designed and built a 9’ long ceiling mounted camera boom arm that swivels, extends and retracts. It will allow me to film from any angle or direction without having to use a tripod.
I didn’t have to do any metal work or weld anything to build this accessory for filming shots in my workshop.

  • I like it. I’ve always liked making things that usually are metal out of wood. Makes thing so much easier to me. Thanks for your hard work.

  • A boom arm is a complicated piece of engineering and you should be proud that it came out so well. It looks heavy and bulky though. I wonder what would happen if you swapped out the plywood arms for aluminum square tube?

    • The plywood is heavy but it works well. The friction between the parts kept me from having to use springs. The weight also helps it stop swinging when I extend it out far. Aluminum would definitely be lighter but would need counterbalance springs.

  • Great build! I also checked out your track video ...awesome stuff. Wondering if you have templates for the plywood hinge plates ? Also wondering how hard it is to learn the orturo laser and one of the things I would use it for is engraving the bottom of wood bowls that can be 8" more tall .... how would they fit under the laser would also use it to engrave cutting boards? Thanks again!

    @scottparat@scottparatАй бұрын

    • Thanks! Sorry, I don't have any templates available. All you need to do is keep the hole spacing the same from one set of plates to the next. If you want to use a laser to engrave taller objects you make blocks to raise the frame up. Just make sure they're stable so the frame of the laser can't move.

  • Really cool build ! How is it working out now that you have tested it on a few videos? By the way, somehow, KZhead did not notify me when this video dropped ???

    • Thanks. Pretty good. When I have it extended far I have to wait a few seconds for the arm to stop wobbling. It made filming my Drill Press Table video much easier than with a tripod.

      @HouseDoctorRay@HouseDoctorRay Жыл бұрын

  • great idea. how would you fix the wobbling if you wanted something more solid? springs in the arms or is it fromt he main base the arm is coming from?

    @sundersquare@sundersquare Жыл бұрын

    • It's mostly the length and the material. If it was shorter and metal it wouldn't wobble. It goes away quickly enough it isn't much of a problem.

  • I hope you consider installing some better lighting

    • It's not the lights. It's the cheap camcorder I'm using. I have to remember to adjust the exposure every time I turn it on. I'm debating whether to go with a Canon M50 or spend real money.

    • I’m afraid I don’t know much about cameras so I can’t advise you in that respect. I thought it was all poor lighting.
