It cost about $10 for the lumber and $5 for the nuts and bolts. I had the stand already from a set of broken work lights, and I got the sheet metal from school. If you are creative with the parts that you use, you could easily do it for under $20.

It's a camera crane or jib. A boom refers to a boom mic, which is actually a shotgun mic, on a boom pole.

This looks like a modified version of the jib that indymogul made a while back.

Hi,
Removing the top screw is not a good idea...
In camera Jibs, camera is maintained to keep targeting postions when they are raised or lowered.
The purpose of the two screws (two axles) in the pivot is to avoid the angular sifts of the camera while the camera raised or lowered.
