What is a camera stabilizer and how to set it?

As the name implies, the camera stabilizer is to stabilize the camera when taking pictures, just like the tripod, except that the camera stabilizer is easy to carry and use when going out.

Simple manufacturing method of camera stabilizer;

Materials used: PVC plastic pipe, aluminum alloy square pipe, screws, nuts and gaskets.

1, punch holes for PVC pipes:

When selecting PVC pipes, we should pay attention to the fact that the diameter of PVC matches the minimum diameter of aluminum alloy pipes, which may not be completely matched, but the closer it is, the better. Then we use an electric drill to make holes and let the screws pass through the holes.

2. Use the same aperture to drill aluminum alloy holes:

On both sides of the largest area of the aluminum alloy pipe, there is also a small hole for screws to pass through, and the holes on both sides should be horizontal. A small hole should also be made at the top of the aluminum alloy to connect the screw with the camera.

3. Ring connection:

The PVC pipe is sleeved on the inner side of the aluminum alloy pipe, screwed into the outer side of the aluminum alloy pipe, and then passed through the PVC pipe until it goes out from the other side. Make sure to straighten the hole in the first two steps. Therefore, we should set the position of the hole in the first two steps.

4, mount the screw:

* * * Need two screws, one is an ordinary screw, which can be bought in the building materials market. I suggest you buy another screw on Taobao, because we know that the diameter of the screw connecting the camera is different. Choose the right one according to your camera.

5. Connect PVC pipes:

T-shaped PVC pipe consists of four parts, including two short pipes, a long pipe and a T-shaped connecting pipe. The length of the two short tubes should be the same, and the distance of the long tube should be determined according to the distance from the camera to the chest when using the camera.

6. After assembly:

First, fix the camera on the aluminum alloy tube and make sure to connect the lock nut. Then connect the T-shaped PVC pipe with the aluminum alloy pipe, and also confirm whether the nut locks the screw. In this way, the camera stabilizer is completed.
