Newsletter - Overhead Camera Rig, Popular Mechanics & Giveaway!

Hi guys!

How are things? Everything is going well here in the shop. I'm working on a couple of new video concepts and projects, and trying to perfect my editing too which is always interesting.

Did you get a chance to check out my latest video - DIY Overhead Camera Rig?



This is one of those projects that I've been meaning to make for a long time. Anyone who has ever tried to get overhead shots using a tripod knows how annoying it can be, so this set up makes it a lot easier to comfortably write and record, set up time-lapses and just photograph things from an overhead point of view. 

In terms of the editing on this one, I really wanted to go very pure and simple, with instructions and no nonsense. I think it came out good, and it was featured on Instructables homepage as well as on Popular Mechanics, so that was pretty cool.



Want a little more information about my shoppe and the stuff that I'm making? In this video I go over everything that I have in the shoppe, my thoughts about working with different types of wood and more. Tour of the Darbin Orvar Shoppe Products
