This DIY Camera Crane by Unitips.ca lets you get some amazing video shots and best of all there aren’t any expensive parts needed since the system is based around cheap metal conduit. Watch the video below to see what the results look like and get some build details. There are some spot welded brackets which might be a bit hard to recreate since most of us don’t have a DIY spot welder kicking around, but that would be easy to do with epoxy, rivets or bolts.
