Even though it's a fairly cheap lens, I jumped a little when you threw your 10-18mm from one hand to the other... Also, for maximum adjustability, I'd put an aluminium T-track along the stretcher and connect a ball head camera mount to it, so no matter where your project is going to be on your work area, you can adjust the camera and frame it perfectly.
May I suggest using additional diffusers for the lights when using the white board. Glare/reflection would be too distracting/in the way. Other than that. Very nice simple build. Very cool rig. I love the nuts for customization
Cool rig Mike! I'm guessing the troll, err, I mean peanut, gallery will suggest that you add a couple 1/4"-20 mounts on the legs for the lights, so you can illuminate the subject from the sides instead of head on (since lighting in same direction as lens-subject axis can appear somewhat harsh on film). Great build all around tho, might have to throw something similar together for my shop!
i love your channel. its really enjoyable! i was thinking that it would be a good idea to make a feature on the sides so that you can raise or lower the stretcher. thank you again for sharing your amazing work.
A quick improvement idea: A rail on the rear side of the board for sliding the camera. In that way, it gives the user complete flexibility to move the camera rig where ever they want. The mount on the rain can be modified to hold the camera and give an angle that suits best for overhead filmography.
Hey Mike, UK subscriber here. Would be useful to see an upside down rail running horizontal being built in - for top down / flat lay video panning / dolly - is that feasible? Keep it up !
Just wondering if you could show how to convert a regular bed with headboard/footboard into a platform bed. There are absolutely no DIY vids available on YT regarding this, which is weird
Hi Im a new subscriber i really love your videos its really amazing and how you made all those stuffs..i wish i could also make one..God bless and love lots.
Really cool. Never would of thought to do this out of plywood. Wondering what the difference in weight is from the plywood version to the 2 x 4 version?
what program do you use to plan your builds out and then convert to PDFs? Right now I'm just using paper and pencil but would love to learn to draw it up on the computer!
I like all ur build and want to do a project myself however i dont have no equipment. Makes me sad. Inspiring builds.. do a tv stand dresser from pallets!!! I want to do that for my house.
very cool affordable top down setup. Highly recommend the arca-swiss quick release plate system in use with this. You could go straight some a tripod to the top down.
That's awesome! So many tips to unpack in there! Love the angled dado, threaded inserts, hot shoe, and lights! Absolutely killer! Can't wait to see what you make under there
That looks like it would be in the way of most of my builds that I might be trying to film up close. I like 1/2 pipes hung in a U shape from ceiling and hand my tripods upside down. But appreciate your idea on this - will give it some more consideration since it can be moved around the workshop.
Nice build! I heard you talking about it on the Modern Maker PC and I wasn't disappointed. This is great for when I want to film but breaks down easily for when my wife wants to park in the woodshop.
You make awesome videos. Your communication style is great, it allows the viewer to absorb easily. Week over week your videos get better. I especially like the walk through on the camera accessories and lenses. Thank you.
I like this build. However, i ould not just use glue for the frame. Also, i would also take into account for the weight of the camera even thou u used super glue and wood glue i would not chance. But this would be a great set up for a tablet or cell phone camera,
You can get rid of the light glare by putting the lights on the outer holes and angling them in. Should reduce shadows better too! Great video, Mike!
Thanks for the tip! I'm going to give that a shot the next time I record.
Killer build, Mike! That's an awesome easy and simple setup for tight (or wide) overhead workbench shots.

Cool idea!
Does this mean you’re going to be a building a lot more small projects that’s going to warrant needing an overhead rig?!?
Not too many, but it's nice to have :)
I almost though that this is a wood glue and super glue commercial.
May I suggest using additional diffusers for the lights when using the white board. Glare/reflection would be too distracting/in the way.
Other than that. Very nice simple build. Very cool rig. I love the nuts for customization
Tyler Burton or, just set the lights wider and at a slight angle
How is this not viral yet? This is the 101 for anyone that wants to start a product related youtube channel and especially woodworking.
yeah!!

Lol. I thought this video was sponsored by gorilla glue for the first bit.
So if you'd mounted those lights at an angle on the sides, instead of right above, you wouldn't get the glare.
Полезная штука, только можно уложимся в 10 долларов)
Both you and Evan and Katelyn needed to read the directions for your projects. But this is so cool! I may use it to create some ultra large panoramas.

Nice build broh! U should put a manfrotto quick release plate to that, that way u dont gotta keep screwing and unscrewing the camera.
Mike, this camera rig is unreal. I actually recently made this myself and it helped me film one of my own DIY videos. Thanks a lot!
Oh damn, welcome to the world of top down videos!
I want to build a similar rig but it will be a floor mount to minimize shakes when working on my scale model. What do you think?
Great job. I so need one of these to take decent photos of my artwork, maybe videos for recorded art classes. I like the new glasses.
Yeah!! It'd be perfect :) Thanks!
Wow very low budget but I don't have this kind of tools
The build is great!!
Your exaggerated hand movements, hilarious.
I like your jeans, what brand are they?
Interesting...that's a really nice solution for an overhead rig. And wow at the coverage of that 10mm lens!
Link for those bootstrap whiteboards? Thanks!
This is dope👍🏽 I’m setting up a studio now and was trying to figure out how to do this. Right on time. Thank you
Perfect!!
Gran idea amigo excelente video gracias por compartir saludos desde Colombia!!
Great build, Mike! I really like that you incorporated the cold shoes for accessories. 👍🏼
Thanks!
Nice set up! I like how you can store it away when you aren’t using it. Seems pretty versatile to
Shit. This is so effing smart and simple
Wow! I didn't think I needed this but, yes I need one now haha
hello, can I put ball head on it as well?

Massive THANK YOU!! for this build! gonna build this for my dslr! ^_^
Nicely done Mike! 👍🏻👊🏻 ...... Yeah, definitely something weird going on, I had to re-ring the bell too.
Using knobs is an interesting idea. Easy to take apart when not in use. I would like to more projects using these knobs.
QUESTION: Are those LED lights battery powered? Where are the chords?
very cool affordable top down setup. Highly recommend the arca-swiss quick release plate system in use with this. You could go straight some a tripod to the top down.
Where can i buy the entire rig
That's awesome! So many tips to unpack in there! Love the angled dado, threaded inserts, hot shoe, and lights! Absolutely killer! Can't wait to see what you make under there
Yo Mike this project video is super informative and easy to follow. But most importantly, the outfits are fire bruh.
The lights reflection is a bit distracting on the dry erase board. A chalkboard and chalk/chalk pen would work better.
Every time I here his voiceovers I think of the modern maker podcast
haha! Nice :)
Damn bro your creeping up on a million subs. That's awesome! Also why I'm just noticing that you have ink?!
Really enjoyed this video brother. Thanks for the content - and I'll definitely be building this for my studio
Nice work Friend! Thank you for sharing the video with us.👍😎JP
And yeah the bell icon can die in hell. It randomly gets unchecked on many channels I'm subscribed to. And theres a lot of em.
Yeah Mike! Now rig up a microwave turntable motor to the camera part to get circular pan shots 👌
Wow...thoroughly enjoyed this! 👍🏾
I would think the stand will move and shake as it's resting on the your work top
How can a video be so unrelated to me and yet so instructive and idea spurring?
That looks like it would be in the way of most of my builds that I might be trying to film up close. I like 1/2 pipes hung in a U shape from ceiling and hand my tripods upside down. But appreciate your idea on this - will give it some more consideration since it can be moved around the workshop.
No doubt!! Thanks
Really looking forward to seeing these shots in upcoming videos
Nice build! I heard you talking about it on the Modern Maker PC and I wasn't disappointed. This is great for when I want to film but breaks down easily for when my wife wants to park in the woodshop.
exactly!! Thanks Blair.. if you make it, I'd love to see it @modernbuilds
*Awesome build! Something any of us can use*
i see no link for the bootstrap board, oh great video by the way
Im totally building this for my small crafts.
Put a t track for easy Change of positions !
Love this build so I'm so saving it to my favorites
You make me feel like building, build the night away
You make awesome videos. Your communication style is great, it allows the viewer to absorb easily. Week over week your videos get better. I especially like the walk through on the camera accessories and lenses. Thank you.
I appreciate it Jonathan!!
higher table so arms are level with mount
Just so you know, sometimes the bell wont do sh*t.
Thanks mate, I need something like this!
Cool
Can you make one for a phone!? I don't have a professional camera
I think you could use a phone tripod adapter for it since the threads are universal.
Nice!
7:00 try putting some paste wax on the top stretcher joint for easier assembly.
Nice Idea!!
Coming up on 1 million subs!!
Great project Mike
This is awesome.,.👏👏👏👏
Cool build. Nice video. : )
I didn't know you were a lefty! 😄
Aeleala why would you?
i see hot guy i click
Good job, homie 🤙🏼
Neeeeeed this! 🙏🏽
gooooooooooooood
thaaaaaanks! :)
Good job!
NOICE.
Nice!
Thanks!
I like this build. However, i ould not just use glue for the frame. Also, i would also take into account for the weight of the camera even thou u used super glue and wood glue i would not chance. But this would be a great set up for a tablet or cell phone camera,
Keith Hecker modern wood glue is stronger than the wood. It would never come apart
The glue is definitely strong enough
no picture
Looks legit!
Thanks Ben
No simple finish?
Seemed a little unnecessary haha
