Learn how to build a custom 3D printed camera crane from scratch in this detailed tutorial video. Follow along as the process of designing, printing, and assembling various components is demonstrated step-by-step. Discover how to modify a large aluminum profile for the boom, construct a plywood base with casters, and create a mechanism that keeps the camera pointed in the same direction for slider-like shots. Explore the crane's impressive features, including its ability to reach heights of nearly 3 meters, 90-degree tilt capabilities, and a counterweight system. Gain insights into problem-solving and creative engineering as each element of the crane is explained and assembled. By the end of the video, you'll have a comprehensive understanding of how to build your own versatile camera crane for capturing dynamic and professional-looking shots.
