Another DIY Crane/Jib
 
Here are a few photos of my DIY crane/jib setup.

I used Dan Selakovich's 'Killer Camera Rigs that you can build' book as a good place to start. Especially for the tripod portion.

It breaks down into 4' sections and fits nicely into a case with rollers I bought on eBay.

Right now, it's 12' long (total length) and I'm going to add another 4' section to it, but need to build a support brace with a cable/turnbuckle to support the extra length.

Probably cost me a little over $300 to build the whole thing including spreader and tripod (with modifications per Dan's book)

Now I just need to build Dan's sand bags. Great book Dan!

BTW, that's not me in the photos.

That's looking good!

I have the same book, but only build a few dolly's so far. Crane is definiately on my 'to do-list'. Good to see some pictures of it.
