DSLR "Run 'n Gun" Rig by oxigine

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I finished the final designs and uploaded them for you all. To keep it organised I deleted the old files, if you want any of the, shoot me a message.
This DSLR rig is a remix on this thing: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:12795
I'm redesigning it to fit better in my film quiver. This project will develop over time with different prototypes and versions. I made all the holes to fit 15mm aluminium rods. I pulled mine from a fancy looking fruit bowl. (http://goo.gl/9jBZmD)
October 4th 2013 // Cart + Handle 2
Did some redesign on the handle. It's now thicker and has a bigger base which will , hopefully, prevent breaking. I also added a slot for the bolt on the inside so you dont need any tools.
Now for the cart:
I created this rig to fit a 5D Mark III but the cart might be a little bit to small. I'm creating a bigger cart but for now this one is useable. Also the bracket could use a hole in the bottom so you can use bigger size bolt if thats all you have. The next design will also have holes that fit countersunk bolts. This way the bolt head wont be in your way.
Problems after first print1. No hole in the bottom of the bracket for bigger bolts2. Camera cart might be a little bit to small for bigger cameras3. Bolt possibly in the way of camera
October 1st 2013 // Prototype 1
Problem: Handle wall too thin. Broke on weight test. (4x maximum weight)
September 25th 2013 // Prototype 1
This is a prototype modelled to Onelonedorks adapter. Instead of making it into a shoulder rig adapter I decided to make it into a "Run 'n Gun" rig that can be carried in one hand. It has the same function as the Cam Caddie (http://goo.gl/2DVwAO). It works great for skateboard and snowboard follow shots.
Although, since I have a Canon T2i which doesn't have a fold out screen I ran into a problem with looking at the screen. I found a solution which make it possible to share your DSLR screen on you Android phone. You can get the app here: http://goo.gl/Ns0VzR
With a USB-OTG cable you can connect your DSLR to your phone and controller the camera. I know this works on the Sony Xperia Z and Google Nexus 7 by experience.
Problems after first print1. Handle to short and small2. Hole in frame too big, doesn't fit with a bigger handle3. No bolt cutout in handle4. Foot on phone bracket too low
Additional design needed1. Camera baseplate2. Camera mount
