    Hells yeah. Suddenly the camera you thought was kinda crappy and maybe you should replace is taking amazing pictures.

    I've used all kinds of things as a "tripod" out on shoots. Folding military shovels, architecture, rocks, etc. as long as it's stable.

    I know!!

    I've been looking at DIY steady cams, but the designs a little bit more complicated and i'm not sure if i'm good enough to pull a nice one off, but ya never know.


    Jibs are easy to make though, I can make one out of two broom sticks and a dust pan, if you don't mind me drilling some holes in your dust pan. And i've got a pretty good design laid out on paper that i want to do to about a 5.5' main bar and its like lol 20$ in material really + finding some tripod head for the front mount.

    Hahahha I'm not boasting about money, that new camera of mine is the result of about 9 months of saving.

    I just hit the wall on what my point n' shoot camera could do, and it was bottle neckin my Gangster processing unit, so I started saving and researched out the best camera that fit my needs.

    plus you know, helps when you see a refurbished K model for 269.99 with full accessory kit and 14-42 aspheric lens.

    I swooped down on that deal like a bald eagle on a salmon hahahhahaha.
