Machining Camera Stabilizer Head Plates, One Hole at a Time.

Image
Whether you're interested in building your own DIY camera stabilizer, or just enjoy seeing the process behind the product, follow along the hand crafted journey as we go from raw material to finished product.   The process begins with the top plate of the camera stabilizer head.  A paper template is glued on to the surface, then 27 holes are hand drilled with the help of a laser guided drill press. If the head plate is intended for use with our Specter Stabilizer , the holes are also counter-sunk. 7 years and an estimated 100,000+ holes drilled by none other than the owner himself, precision can be seen in the alignment test. Moving on to the middle plate, slots are machined with the help of our manual 3-axis mill.  These slots allow for the front-to-back adjustment of the camera. Holes are drilled for the mounting screws that connect the middle and bottom plates.  Then counter-sunk on the drill press.  1/4"-20 mo
