$20 DIY DSLR Shoulder Rig
Фильм және анимация
Using some easy-to-get supplies, Ryan shows you how you can make your own DIY shoulder rig for under $20!
And yes, we know this has been made plenty of times... But our build is about doing it as cheap, simple and effective as possible. We also chose to warp the pipe instead of cutting it so that it will fit perfectly to the body.

Who needs Film School when we have Film Riot. Not that there's any Film School in Mozambique anyway.
You can also use boiling water to bend the pvc
You're wearing a Whiskey and Rye t-shirt! That's my guitar teacher's band!!
"returning to the blow dryer on crack." lost my shit right there
Great show as always guys
4:14 I love how you hit him ''by accident'' LOL
Omg I was so gonna ask for a video of this! Thank you FilmRiot!
Awesome video guys! Love the DIY stuff.
always great to see the DIY stuff.
6:12 That must be the best song I have ever heard!
i like how it starts out all bright and sunny outside at the beginning of the build and ends middle of the night.
The production quality of this episode seemed more amazing than your already high standard!
for some reason, i loved the cinematography in this tutorial!
Great tip, a very cost effective DIY thingy! Will share this with our community, thanks FilmRiot!
I recently "re-purposed" a bit of kit I already had, to use as a camera rig, and was amazed at the difference it made to the stability of the shot. I recommend 'em :)
Awesome, I will need to make me one of those! Nicely done, thanks for making this!
Yeahh! Very great job. Awesome!!!!!! Thanks sooooo much ryan
Fantastic DIY tutorial, great job. :)
Yusss I've been waiting for this
Never thought of warping instead of cutting! I just made one to hold my steady cam rig I made for my iPod! It's so light it's like I'm holding nothing!
"Once again returning to the blow dryer on crack" LMAO!
great build!!!
I dont know about others but I think all commercials should be like yours... I ACTUALLY WATCH THEM!! Shocker isn't it.
Awesome build Ryan! For those who don't have access to tools go to Amazon and type in"Cowboy studio shoulder rig" its 20 bucks plus shipping! Great shoulder rig (I own it), and cheap! Thumbs up for people to see!
Dear FilmRiot, Could you guys maybe make a playlist with all your DIY tutorials. Not just because I am lazy but I might miss one or two. Much appreciated! Thumbs up so Ryan can see!!
I love these DIY video's :)
You guys should do something like auctioning off some of your props and DIY things! The money could go partially towards you guys and partially towards a charity or something! I just randomly thought of this idea while watching this video! Thumbs up so they can see!
Awesome stuff! to the hardware store I go tomorrow
I was literally just looking up videos on this, then i checked my Sub box and this came up!
Thanks Ryan! Ive done a DIY glidecam thingy before, wasnt that great because of the weight :P but Ill try this one too :)
Looks really good, when the show started I thought you where just going to build the typical shoulder mount with 90 degree sections to hold the pivc pipes, but I have never seen the blow dry thing before,
only this is going to make my movies better... love the other (both sholders) rig too, will try to make both. thanks a lot...
Great idea!
@jms1295 Nope, I was running and holding the camera out in front of me. And on the second I was walking fast backwards.
If you take athletic tape and wrap the thermal piping cover foam with it, it cuts down on not only it moving, but it also cuts down any noise the cover would make and keeps it in place (I used it to pad a DIY Ring Light I made a while ago).
Ryan Film maker and handy man.
Ryan, you own some bad ass shirts.
Thank you so much for this video!
exactly what i needed! thanks~~!
Thank you so much film riot! I have one question that may have been asked many times but i have not heard an answer: What ever happened to the old cast and crew of film riot and why did they have to leave?. We all miss them!
I like making films and I' m studying to be an electrician. there couldn't be a easier build for me. thanks for the tut.
Thanks so much for this video!
very useful, helped a lot
I took two long planks and two short planks that I just screwed together, then I took sawed off chair legs that I screw onto the front to make handles, then for comfort I taped on foam in the back. It costed me zero dollars to make since I used old pieces of wood lying around.
hey film rioters! i guess i am not the first one to discover this, but you can use almost any better-built tripod as a shoulder mount! (I was pretty amazed when i discovered it :D
I liked the back grip part of it so you could just let it hang there when you got tired. Also, for anyone who's getting into DIY film gear using PVC, I would really suggest PVC cutters, super cheap and makes cutting really smooth and clean.
Than you Ryan!
I made this on the weekend... cost me exactly $19.95 at my hardware store! I laughed when she told me the price! Perfect!
Cut first, then measure, I like your style ryan.
really creative
AWESOME!!
Oh my lord, what is that incredible test shot music?!
I wish i was ryan and everthing was that fast for me.
Thank You Film Riot. I've always been a stickler for grammar and spelling. 1 out of 2 isn't half bad though.
I literally just built one of these two days ago with the exact same materials and exact same design...Great minds think alike.
OMGGG I wanted you to make one for aaaaaaaaaaaaages!! yeea totally making this when I have some free time :D :D :D
YES SHOULDER RIG!!!!
A tripod has three legs (hence "tri") and a a shoulder mount goes on your shoulder (hence shoulder). Generally you will use a tripod whenever possible, but shoulder mounts are very useful for moving shots that you cannot get on a tripod easily.
Wow this is better than the one I made :)
Can you talk a bit faster ?

He's still on a CompUserve 14.4 modem, so he has to talk fast as he's paying by the minute.
Thanks it helps alot because we are going to make a video for school
Hey Ry, PVC Cutters at Hardware stores are like 5 bucks and work so freaking amazing. I use them on most of my DIY builds. You should invest in some bud! Hacksaws are from the caveman era :p Great Build thought and Imma hop on it!
I LOVE your channel and I just started watching it a day ago. My only complaint is that I wish you guys would focus more on the topic and less on the filler bits. I understand that you guys have to make money, but I'm telling you...It's your personalities, your amazing editing and your quick & to the point information that's getting you fans. PLEASE, less filler pieces.
You guys are awesome. What editor do you use for the intro to your show?
Because we have no money, so we get the cheap, less effective stuff while the big boys who have money from us watching their shows get the better stuff to bring us this stuff. :) The circle of life.
Very very impressive, a shame there is no stabilization for this setup. Still impressed, man.
I know this video is almost nine years old now but I really like the music you used for your test shots lol Where can I find that song?
Nice !!!
hmmm i could actually make that, could be useful and also looks cool :)
Next time, can you make a list of all the supplies? That would be super helpful...
I have that flip out lcd on my 600d so that will come in handy
finally made it under 301 views like a BOSS.
film riot went from go daddy 2 to domain.com, u r brave fellas, go with the breeeeeeeeeeeeze!
im so building this thx guys
@jms1295 I was actually surprised how steady the footage without the rig was considering he didn't use a sling for support. Keeping such a small camera steady while in motion is pretty much impossible.
This is just a suggestion but a list of the materials int he description box would help SO much!
You guys can never just get a used-wrapping paper roll and an empty box of chocolates or something haha ;)
The Frugal Film Maker has an awesome $5.00 rig..
hey ryan, will you do an episode comparing the letus shoulder rig and this shoulder rig????
@spazzmwho They actually make those. I would recommend checking like "Novelty Stores" or "Magic Shops"
You know if you already have a tripod you can use that as a shoulder rig. Just close all the legs and stretch the neck to its longest. Attach the camera to the tripod and pan it to look vertically upwards. Lock the panning and tilting in the tripod put it on your shoulder and your ready to go ;)
looks kinda low-low-low-budget but the shots are really good. I'm gonna try to build smthg like that.
Please put the list in the description box!!!!! Makes it easier for us lol
Why not use pipe sections, T-pieces and 90 degree PVC bends. That killes the pain of heat bending. You can also try it all out for feel and then glue those together. Have some extra T-joints on strategic places to put on repositionalable handgrips.
hey ryan, I was wonderong woudld it be easier to build it with PVC connecters with an angle than heating it up? also could you show us how to make a zipline mount like what they use in the bourne films? thanks caleb
Yo ryan brr.... GREEN TEA SMOKE YEAH !!!!
@HudsonRyde Thank you! :) which do you much most prefer to buy? on B&H or at Amazon? i wanna get probably two. really handy.
@diazrocks Sarcasm. => I utilize Berkey System, CPM CF, and Gini Rigs, so haven't needed to go DIY. 15mm ftw!
Here: anony(DOT)ws(SLASH)image(SLASH)kYq0 And remember that this was made in under 30 minutes after thinking of the idea and everything was made out of left over materials. I used some old planks, old chair legs, some left over foam from a broken sheet, I cut out some pieces and made three "pillows" out of them, I had some paint left from painting a wall and finally a little bit of black tape that I had lying around. The way you use it is by putting your head in the middle.
@EnviroAda probably so. but that means more pieces to buy which means more money. granted it would not cost alot of money. but when you buy pvc pipes, like he had, you usually have to get it at like.. 10 foot sections so its probably cheaper just to bend it
THANK YOOOUUU!!!!
@silentcovenant I believe he used the Giottos MH621 (I based this off a quick close up that can be seen around 4:40)
If you show how to make a DIY offset shoulder rig next, I'll be very happy.
@AussieVlogging its a LETUS shoulder rig
Awesome name for a song.
Hey Ry, What would be the best way to go about mimicking the effects used in Another Earth, you know the awesome Earth 2 and accompanying moon.
That's what I did and it works.
I've been asking and looking around at where all the "work" is, most would say the US, but recently I found that they all want to come to Canada. I was thinking about Toronto, but someone told me that film is falling there and my best bet would be Vancouver? what's your opinion?
Super Time Lapse... Woo!!! ... Hey wait... wrong show!
Ryan when you want to apply a curve to a pvc pipe, before o heat it up, fill it with sand, and you will get a perfect curve, and the PVC pipe won't bend like that at 3:01. Vote up so everyone can see it!
