My cousin helped me make a spiffy looking rig from wood and other spare parts we found in my garage. Gonna spray paint it black and maybe add a light, a monitor holder, a handle or strap, and maybe a rocket launcher. Will post pics later.
Ciao
UPDATE:
Pics, as promised.
I know it’s not much, but it was basically free, rather than the usual 100$+ rigs that the professionals buy (although those do have railings and many other features mine doesn’t have). Goliath-sized thank you to Thomas, Andrew, and Tammy Tsang for doing a lot of the work on this rig.
p.s. Still gotta add a better external lighting source (the flashlight kinda sucks), a monitor holder, a top handle or strap…also a handle near the front at the bottom so you can rest the rig on your shoulder…still brainstorming.
You made some good points there. I did a search on the topic and found most people will agree with your blog.
