the fact that it folds makes this amazing

Its really high quality I can tell!

keep the work on. awesome video editing . there are less video like this

You did a lot of hardwork man. Doing things again and again until you made them perfect. Your hardword and patience can be seen even though the video is fast forwarded.. great job. Your new Subscriber from INDIA 😊

Such a really cool idea! Love the music just as well as your editing style. I also really like how we both use the same genre jazzy music feel. Keep build'n!

Wonderful little tripod! I might suggest wingnuts for quick release on the legs.

Amazing..

Do you sell this one? Great tripod. Hi from Chile

I've just seen your video, the only thing I can say is that you're so clever and so smart.. I just made a tripod out of some Aluminium scrap. Really, WELL DONE. thank's.

Thanks, I appreciate the kind words!

Cool tripod, try using the chopsaw for the Aluminium next time

Great project indeed! Sturdy and foldable. One question though, when I saw you using a hand saw I thought that maybe you didn't have any electric tools and at the end you surprised me when I saw you using an electric one. Why didn't use that one for the whole project or even use a hand-held electric mini one like a Dremel f.e. That would be much easier for you.

Ur tripod is similar to ultrapod 2, u can add a elastic rope or a Velcro strap to wrap it around stuff to keep is stable, see ulrapod. Great work, please send me the schematic specially the joint.

the tripod is lit af 🔥

Haha. Thanks!!!

you're a genius

If the legs were mounted to the outside of the main piece it would fold without having to long cut the legs, and the complex geometry of the hinge area would be eliminated. Wouldn't be quite as clean, but would greatly simplify construction. Would also loose a bit of rigidity over original design because of how the "hinge flaps" would be basically just be flat. Your design is better, this is just a way to make it less fussy to construct.

Thanks for the comment Nathan! You are right about not having to have two different sizes of angle if you mounted the legs outside the main piece. However, I'm pretty sure you'd have some complications up at the top and as you mention rigidity would be much lower. Good thought though.

Cool video

would it be possible if you could put the dimensions in the video?

Please give schematic of your design

What if I was looking for a taller tripod, for filming like discussions or talking with people, and I didn't have a table that I found right for the job?

Браво👏👏👏

coooooool

Looks great, and a cheaper alternative. One potential issue I see is that small angle of wood (pine?), it will probably weaken over time (use wood screws or metal screws?) Also, this isn't what I would call 'simple' .

It would be nice to see if u could add sliding or folding legs which would help setting it up in rough or non flat surfaces.

Good Idea! I'm thinking maybe a folding leg extension would be easiest to implement. I could actually add that to what I have already pretty easily.

Yes that is true. I like the design because it feels it can be modified to fit many needs. Like you can do a simple mod to make it taller, add a slider to get panning action or add counter weight balance style bridge at the top to get a different effect.

Love the video the tripod will last 10x longer than the joby one

My choice ended up being Geeetech i3 Pro W if you're curious - i bought directly from manufacturer's warehouse in Europe, via one of their official eBay accounts. I chose it on the strength of its electronics, which includes the most powerful of the common 8-bit processors and two fuses for individual high-power circuits, plus separate diodes to somewhat protect the otherwise death prone MOSFETs from the inductive voltage spike and take off some of the strain, plus various upgrade options like extra inputs, replaceable socketed motor drive modules, and an option to add one additional motor and one extra heater, a genuine high-performance USB chip and convincing looking switch mode voltage regulators, and excellent heatsinks on everything that might need them. I knew up front that that the mechanics is likely to be very wonky, and it was the cheapest kit i could possibly get in Europe, with only CTC being potentially a bit cheaper. The e-mail support was good, they immediately mailed the assembly manual, the LCD screen had one defective column and they sent a replacement, it arrived within 2 weeks from China. The kit took about 2 or 3 days to arrive and almost 12 hours to assemble, most of the time being wasted keeping track of about 60 tiny bags of various little pieces, so if you can come up with a system, that will help. The frame ended up being kinda stable in spite of looking very unconvincing. The hot-end came very well assembled, i don't think the dangerous heater cartridge is slipping out of there. The important cables were all silicone covered RC type and seem super convincing in quality. The linear rods and bearings were of surprisingly good quality, though they obviously haven't been stored very well, there was rust on LM8LUU bearings. The metal carriage parts needed about an hour or two of filing because they powder coated on top of a burr - i could have used a drill but i decided to do it manually to ensure rods don't end up sitting loose. There appear to be dimensioning mistakes in the top plates, but they're not too critical to get first prints out of it. The M8 Z threaded rods were VERY bent, but i decided to use them, after bending them more straight and choosing the end that is less curved to go into the motors and carefully centring the couplers - still, without further modifications the printer will impart a visible horizontal offset onto each layer from the Z screw rotation, a problem commonly known as "Z-Wobble". The board came with an Arduino bootloader so it was trivial to replace the firmware, and you'll find the corresponding example configuration file for this very printer is right in the Marlin 1.1.8 distribution, though i wrote my configuration entirely from scratch, not having realised that. Replacing the firmware is recommended on any kit printer, because usually they ship without thermal runaway protection, so if the heater or the bead thermistor ever dislodge from the hot-end, there will be a serious fire. The printer is missing part cooling fan by design, so that's the first obvious upgrade (recommend 50mm radial 12V fan from eBay, cost about $3 from China, as it can maintain pressure much better than axial fans), besides i added an 80mm fan for the board to replace the noisy 40mm one and 90mm fan for the power supply just to give it a bit of thermal safety margin - i just used the ones i had laying around from previous PC builds. The alternatives around the same price include Anet A8, which has cracking-prone acrylic frame, is missing the belt tensioning mechanics, and has very simplified electronics, but excellent quality Z rods and a part cooling fan, making for often great prints out of the box. Tronxy/Zonestar P802 series which are cheaper fairly exact clones of the Anet, generally decent quality too, and CTC i3 Pro B, which is a mishmash of a clone of various Geeetech models, where everything is of quality so varying, that you might or might not be lucky, but CTC is the only of these to have a big frame piece that runs all the way around and stabilises the machine. Of these all, the modding community is the strongest around the Anet A8, so you get lots of advice and enhancement options. Oh, first thing you do on any of these, ensure very good connections on screw terminals, maybe solvent clean them first, and on the Anet, you MUST get rid of the connector that goes right onto the bed and just solder the wires straight on, because it commonly catches fire. The frame of the Geeetech and CTC is very cramped and will cost you a few millimeters of print space and doesn't make levelling the bed all too easy. The Geeetech/CTC board needs a bit of care that the MOSFET heatsink doesn't burrow through the board lacquer as it will likely kill them, so i slid a piece of Kapton tape under there. You'll need Kapton tape, so buy some. Strain relief for all cables to moving parts is SUPER important, most fires stem from people not being very diligent about that. You can get much better kits mechanically if you're willing to pay a little bit more, but for me only the cheapest were affordable enough, and i wanted an engineering exercise that can 3D print more than an actual 3D printer - i want to work on the Marlin firmware and i'm slowly starting to. Creality Ender3 is even suitable for people that never built anything in their life before, as it's mostly preassembled, and delivers quality to straight up rival the most expensive devices on the market right out of the box, and if it catches fire, its lack of flammable material is likely to stop it before the the house burns down.

Would rather buy real tripod
