Lastly, use adjustable straps to attach the two plates to each other. I used 1 strap for each shoulder and 2 straps for the rest of the body. Put bolts through the center of the shoulder and elbow pieces and tighten them down. The lower arm attaches to the shoulder, the upper arm attaches to the elbow as in the picture in this step. Use your other bolts to set the arms to their respective radial holes to get the shot you want.

And that's it! Here are some possible improvements I've thought about since I finished building it.
  • Make the upper arm longer, as the camera is pretty close.
  • Make more holes in the shoulder and elbow for more adjustments.
  • make this rig out of aluminum for durability and weight.
  • Make an adjustable camera mount on the end, using a similar style as the shoulder and elbow.
  • add some kind of counterweight system to the back plate to help counter the weight of the camera.
