Today we build a DIY Orbiting Camera Rig!
Recently, Josh Yeo released the Marbl Orbit, which is a 360 degree orbiting camera rig. It's a really cool piece of gear, but it's also very niche - it's not going to be used too often on the film sets we are on. So we asked ourselves if we could build our own out of the gear lying around rather than plopping down several hundred dollars on the Orbit.
Here are the parts you will need to build this Orbit Rig for your camera:
4 Super Clamp: amzn.to/3d8haYR
4 Double Super Clamp: amzn.to/3vV6Zx4
2 Grip Heads: amzn.to/3db9vZM
3 Grid Clamp: adorama.rfvk.net/7mbkmQ
2 Grid Clamp to baby pin: adorama.rfvk.net/3bBEy
2 Grid Clamp to 5/8 pin: adorama.rfvk.net/qngXnL
Manfrotto Camera Bracket: amzn.to/3xEX2Fs
Ball Head: amzn.to/3wTZyrt
Tripod Extender: amzn.to/3gYwto3
Menace Arm: adorama.rfvk.net/rngon3
2 8 ft. 1in square tube: amzn.to/3h1RGNI
2 1 ft 1 in. square tube: amzn.to/3qkkOnN
1 ft. round tube: amzn.to/3j82xbN
8 in lazy susan: amzn.to/2TSi2tH
2 1/4-20 x 2" screw: amzn.to/3qj5sQo
2 Double ended spigot: amzn.to/3d4B8n6
2 16mm adapter spigot: amzn.to/3wRtbcY
