I get how to make a jib head that can tilt...
This idea: http://tinyurl.com/28m4zbj seems easy enough to create in a DIY environment,
but how do you get a nice smooth pan-action on top of this?
A lazy-susan/wheel bearing that the camera sits on like this: http://tinyurl.com/26cfwvz
set up 90 degrees to how it looks in this pic - where the wheels lie horizontally across
the top of the main beam and 'turn' the camera left/right seems plausible in theory.
Can anyone point out a link to a neat, DIY jib with pan and tilt??
Ive seen you tube vids of overly complex solutions with bike cables that look like
Rube Goldberg devices. Any simpler designs out there?
Thanks
