Vinnie Langdon: My Dad & I Made a DSLR Slider!
0The Vinnie Langdon Show presents a DIY How To build a Camera Dolly for under $15.00.
Hello and Welcome to my Video of a DIY Camera Slider Project!
This is great if you are working on a low budget film or you just want to have neat cinematic shots in your home movies!
First off here is a list of what you will need:
3 x Plastic PVC Handy Boxes
1 x Handy Box Blank Cover
Either 1 10 ft long EMT Conduit Pipe or
2 x 5 ft Long EMT Conduit Pipe (Cut the 10 ft in half or buy 2 already cut)
1 Bag of 1/2 inch Screw Connectors
1 Bag of 1/4 inch Washers
1 Bag of 1/4 inch Nuts
1 Box of Velcro
All of these materials cost us about $14.00!
TOOLS you would need are:
- Philips Screw Driver
- Drill
- Hands
First thing you want to do is Cut out of the PVC Plastic Handy Boxes
You want to poke the holes out of the Sides of 2 of the Plastic Handy Boxes.
Next you want to put your connectors on like so:
Just screw them on which will end up connecting to the ends of your PVC pipe.
The 3rd Handy Box is a little different. You will want to poke 4 holes in your Handy Box.
Then attach velcro around each hole to allow your Handy Box to be your slider to easily slide on your New Camera Slider.
Next you drill a hole into the Blank Cover.
Once you have the blank cover completed, you will then add a washer for height and add your 1/4 inch nut to use as your camera tripod plate.
Now you are ready to get cinematic dolly shots!
