Thank you! As an artist looking to make art videos, I have searched and searched overhead camera setups but have never been satisfied. This set up is perfect! And thank you for listing the items needed, it makes it a whole lot easier for someone like me who has no idea what to look for.
2:15 - 2:33 This is the part, that actually conveys information, and then you rush through it lightning fast.
same thought, had to pause several times
Poor delivery.
he could've even listed them out in the description but chose not to and instead links to camera gears that none of us came in here for.
Loving the sound effects during the overhead setup build. Brilliant!! Neat and tidy setup.
3 years later, still the best setup, I’ve done a research and even tho there are overhead camera mounts for sale, this is by far the best one
Simple, cheap, portable, and versatile....like it!!!
love this!
Another awesome video !! Killing the game !!!
Now I know where to spend my money. I was really close to buying that tripod, but now I will invest smarter. Thank you so much!
Appreciate the tutorial, you always serve up great content! Be well and stay encouraged!
This is the most detailed explanation on how to attach a camera overhead
I'd been thinking about a better overhead rig for some time and I needed this to move to the next level. I went ahead and bought these exact parts. The final one (ballhead) arrived today. So happy with my new overhead setup. Thanks!
That’s awesome 🤘
What a great video! Fantastic information to be sharing. Thank you for this! Love that set up
Awesome video. Great rig. THANK YOU for posting!
Super useful!and the visuals were too gooood
Brilliant ideas, my good man.
Great build man! Subscribed!
man that is some madreal overhead rig! thanks for sharing this great content with us!
loved watching this!
Nicely done!
Love your setup bro! 🙌
I just built mine with your video and amazon links. Thanks
This is incredible. Thank you. Your video was very informative and fun to watch.
1:10 camera moves out of nowhere!
Wowwwww that was weird
I thought this was some elaborate trick at first, but then I realized that he when he pressed down on the tripod it flexed that piece of wood the camera is sitting on, causing it to slide like that. Still, it would be really fun to intentionally put subtle movements in videos to mess with people XD
that was creepy, maybe the camera was on and focusing causing it to move
How cool you spotted that......Talk modern focusing cameras
Ghosts.
I need this!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. I really appreciate this!
Amazing tutorial and production! Curious on what software (if any) you're using for the stop motion animation. Thanks!
Hi There! If I was just to get the ballhead, do you recommend a lock plate for this or quick release. Thanks for the helpful tips!
I do a similar setup, but with a Manfrotto 272B Adjustable Background Holder, and a clamp. That way you get a much wider setup for larger tables and desks. The nice thing about this setup over a trip pod, is I also hang a mic, monitor, and sometimes lights from the same rig.
This is a great option as well
This is a wonderfully helpful video & channel! Thank you!
GREAT EDITING! THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO!
Great video with great information. I am in the process of assembling an overhead camera rig and can't wait to get it all together and start taking photos. I am planning to use a C stand with an arm but can see the advantage of using two lighter light stands, especially for portability and stability. Looks like there are several ways to assemble a good rig. Thank you for sharing what works for you.
I used to use cstands but I wanted everything to fit nicely in one bag for flights ✈️
Man this is what I need in the amateur kitchen!!!!!!!!
Question is how you adjust settings on the camera during shoot, or how you focus or how you frame your shot? This will work if you have flip screen on your camera, or if you tether.
Rafal Kontrym WiFi if yothe have it also works. Camranger is another option.
Or the Hail Mary.
Saw this the other day and put one together out of my gear laying around. While I think that one stand would cut it in many situations (especially, as others have commented if you need to get over a wider table).... that being said, I can appreciate that extra solid stability of the two. Thanks for this video and for making it out of the same stuff I already have! Kudos!
That's how this came about, looking around the studio, thinking "hmm...what do I have here"
Great video! I always love videos like this - I need more tutorials in my life :)
Really like the animations! Great tutorial
So practical, I like your approach.
Hell yeh!! awesome setup!
Great tutorial as always!
Beyond helpful.
Great video, thank you!
Awesome! Tks for sharing!
Hi, is it possible to connect 2 extension arms to get a longer rig? Thanks.
nice work here!
Skyler - As a photographer of course I subscribe to a bunch of TH-cam channels. In general, when I get a notification from one of those channels I tend to mentally categorize them onto three groups -- "Eh, maybe I'll check it out later", "I'll definitely watch that later", and "I'm watching that ASAP!"
Your videos are pretty much always in that last category. I go out of my way to watch because you usually hit that perfect blend of information, humble realism, and great production quality.
Keep doing what you do and I'll keep you at the top of the "must-see" list.
Wow man that’s literally the best comment ever! 🤘you rock and thanks for your kind words and support 🙏
No, thank you! I just call 'em like I see 'em.
Super helpful. Thanks.
Very nice video. I love your content!
Hey!im inlove with the gear!! Thank you for this video ,now i know what to buy to complete my gear~ oh btw when u cook,do u cook in your studio or u have a special kitchen to do it? Becuz in the video i didn't see any oven or stove~
thank you so much
I need this but your tips helped me make a really great video :)
Excellent !!!
Awesome video!
Hello, great video! Just one question: What camera did you used to film this video? Thank you!
Nice and easy .. but how do you frame your shot when the camera is up high?
Skyler is TH-cam Gold!
That's a great idea. Will it be practical for shooting from higher when frame should be bigger (and with 100mm macro lens)? For portrait photography with a big softbox and heavy light (AD600)?
Super!
Hello. Question: I have only Fujinon 16mm f/1.4, can I shoot awesome food photographs?
Awesome dude :)
Oooh perfect 👌 perfect perfect thank you ❤️🥳
can you please link the products you used to make the overhead truss.
I have light stands, but i dont know what the bar and clamps you used are
Loved it
This looks like an amazing setup! I am wondering though, how is this more practical for a first time buyer (photo equipment) than a simple c-stand with a spigot?
Picked it up this week from B&H for $106 since I had the two light stands. Thank you for this video now I can rock the overhead angle too!!! - Dre
Hi I put it on the light stand but the top telescope part is very sturdy and shaking. Do you have an advice for that? Thank you🙏🙏🙏
pretty cool
Thanks for sharing this, you just saved me an expensive purchase of a c stand plus extras.
Great info-thnx!!
The link for the blog post doesn't work. Can you write wich accesories are??
Wow mine blown. I literally have all these things in my house. Was literally giving myself a headache the other days because I was trying to figure out how i can do this without my tripod legs showing.
Hi, can I attach the grip head to a standard baby pin steel stud of my light stand? I'm using Godox 260T light stand.
I'm also looking for that blog post that has all the links to the overhead rid. Please help!
Thanks so much man. We managed to get setup costing us £110 🙌
Thanks bro
ty
What lens do u use for the overhead video?
great video!
40inch is kind of narrow, what would you advise if we need both top bottom and front view?
Nice and clean set up, Skyler. Are you still using any of the bits of this rig? I think I saw in a later video, did you switch to c-stands? More please.
my only issue with this is the grip arm is not long enough to do a shoot over a kitchen counter...any recommendations on a longer one or how you solve for this?
In the blog post you mentioned using a 6 feet poll for a larger overhead setups with assistance of super clamps, may I ask if you have a link to that longer poll please?
I don’t have a specific link I found one at Home Depot
So this is what he used for the alternative:
• 2 light stands
• 1 avenger 40 inch extension arm
• 2 avenger grip heads
• 3/4 inch spigot
• level
• ball head
Thanks appreciated.
Hi Skyler, first of all: you got me! I've left my Subscription. Well deserved, because it´s so well presented. Clear, crisp and not "overdone" (if that makes sense...!?!). Four days ago I have stumbled across your Channel and have seen quite some hours of your Clips. Congratulation und "Chapeau..."!!!! I really like it. By the way, I cannot understand why some folks click "Thumbs down". Would be interesting to hear if there's constructive criticism or just pure jealousy... :-)). Anyway, best greeting from Germany, Michael
Thanks Michael!!! I'm happy you've enjoyed watching! I'm not sure why there is even a thumbs down option haha
Thanks for this video, so helpful….
Its sad that the accessoires are out of stock .
Any suggestions for someone who needs an 8-foot long overhead sliding camera one?
Want a longer top cross bar for that goalpost setup? At my local big box home improvement stores, in the electrical aisle, they sell a 8 foot long, 5/8" diameter galvanized steel ground rod for something like $10. (The bar in a standard grip arm is 5/8" diameter, so this is a perfect replacement.) Slide a grip head to the middle, mount the ends on stands, and now you can span out to the middle of much larger tables.
it wont bend?
love your personality! by any chance, do you remember the links to any of these products? :)
What is the technique used for filming at 2:51? I mean how to shoot videos like this? Thanks :)
Is there a way to mount the stands to a surface with a clamp rather then something that goes to the floor?
How do you see the subject and adjust the settings if you can’t look through the viewfinder? Is the camera attached to a monitor with a remote shutter control?
Yes tethered to capture one, Lightroom or canon software
How long was the intervall of the photos ?
Nice~
How can you see through your viewfinder with that setup?
What kind of light stands are these?
helll yeahhh
I have 2 tripods would it work the same as the light stand I was thinking i might need a few more spigots
If you use super clamps on your tripods to hold the pole
How do you do the food moving animations and appearing food immediately after a finger magic?kidly reply.
It’s stop motion animation each movement is a single photo
Starting 2:40 - is there a name for this technique of film making? I want to implement that in my future videos for books. Only plenty of photos and then combining them?
Stop motion
@@LDBaha Found out already :D Thanks !
"It's freezing here in the mountains hence the jacket" Um no sir, that is a plaid shirt. I wear those on 70 degree days here in Tucson :P
can you please make a video on how you moved the strawberries and greens across the table? big thanks to you sir
Great setup! I went to the link you provided and unfortunately it is displaying an error… Could you please fix it? Thanks!!
I got the same setup to test this out, but I'm not sure about clamping the spigot to hold the entire weight of the ball head + camera + lens... Isn't there a surer way of clamping the camera to the top bar?
Been a sure way for me for years, but you could look at a super clamp on amazon for $25 also you can buy a safety tie for the camera or wrap the camera strap around the grip head.... disclaimer I’m not responsible for any damaged camera as a result of these suggestions. Photograph at your own risk 😎
