About this model

Wanted to experiment with gimbals and camera stabilizers. Design wise I went a different route, I used squares instead of circles. Another thing I designed in was the ability to have one or two handles to control the rig. I used two different sets of ball bearings. Smaller ones for the gimbal to keep the design as small and light as possible, then normal skateboard ones for the center and handles. All in all, its balanced quite well. I tried different methods of counter weights and I ended up going with the glidecam's method since it works the best. In the end I had alot of problems getting the balance just right, I did the 3 second drop test and everything. I always had a little drift back and forth, so video looked as if I was on a boat.
