Killer Camera Rigs That
You Can Build
By Dan Selakovich
Thank God for the DV revolution. It has put filmmaking within reach of us poor folk
(relatively speaking). The downside is that the things that hold and move the camera:
dollies, cranes, stabilizers, car mounts, and other necessities of movie making are still
darned expensive to rent. And forget purchasing! I don't know about you, but a grand for
a jib arm is a little beyond my means--not to mention highway robbery! 

This site, and a new book will change all that. I'm going to show you how
to make this stuff. Equipment we use here every day. And the amazing bit is it really isn't
that hard. You just need to be shown the way. For the most part, if you can drill a hole, you
can make most of the rigs in the book. Really. And you don't even need a lot of room. (My
work space is 8'x10'). I've also tried my darndest to make the gear with bits and pieces readily
available from your local hardware store.

Most of the rigs in this book can be built for $50-$100. Most under $50 as long as you 
follow my instructions. In other words, I've already made the costly mistakes for you. 
Not to mentionthe time wasted for the 100th trip back to the hardware store. 
Trust me, the price of this book will be saved in time and error than if you try to do
 this stuff without some guidance. Each plan is packed with photos and step-by-step 
instructions, helpful hints, and even a photo shopping list to take with you to 
the hardware store. Don't know what a lock nut is? Just look at the picture!
Book Specs: 339 Pages, size 8.5x11, over 1,000 photos, soft cover, spiral binding.
