Improved Steadicam for under 40 dollars! Also boom mic attachment!

Step 2 Make the swivel mechanism

Here is the "swivel" part that attributes all my genius. it has the the concepts of "inertia" and "low center of gravity." now only that, but the design is pretty simple because its like a steadicam, except you don't have to involve yourself with cutting metal and involving yourself in the arduous process of using springs as the mechanism. anyways here is a parts list of my endeavors

"swivel part"

12 1/4" x 3/4 bolt
12 1/4" lock washer
18 1/4 nut
2 inch casters w/break (rotates 2 ways. should be rotable and have a nut on it)
2 iinch caster (the only part that rotates is the wheel. should have nut on it)
2 pieces of wood (preferably about 1.5 inch wide by 2 feet long and 1/4 inch thick)
1 bag of 10
4 1/4 x 2 inch bolts
1 3.5 inch bolt
4 flat washers
1 3/8 x 1 hexbolt
1 3/8 nut
1 3/8 washer
2 1/4 x 2 bolt
2 water risers
2 "water caps"

Well, that may not be the complete descriptsion, but its my best try. if you want more details, simply e-mail me. i might post more about this.
