That's really cool! I work at a machine shop where we manufacture parts for Kessler Crane, it's interesting to see something so simple work just as well as some of the high-dollar tools that we make.

I'm not much (at all, really) into the art of filming but I may throw one of these together just to make home videos a bit more entertaining. I may make a few modifications to make it a bit fancier, only because I have the resources available. Sturdier brackets and such, I can make with my cnc plas table.

Kudos my friend, kudos.

So, about how much did this cost? Not counting the tripod.

The crane cost about $20 for sheet metal, electrical conduit and hardware.
