Camera ISO-L8R

Design of the Bike has taken a back seat, while the Camera Stabilizer & additional support equipment has been top of the list of things to do. I would still like to build a working camera stabilizer from nothing more than standard bike parts, or should I say well chosen bike parts, a fun project with little or no machining needed.

El Diablo

El Diablo The RED BULL Prototype....Everything can Change count on it!

The name came about while waiting for the RED Scarlet, just before they decided to tell us the camera we had been waiting for for 3 years, wasn't going to happen, the Scarlet Fixed was shelved and the price of what was available shot through the roof. Which is why we will have to pay very close attention to costing production of the support equipment, so we dont over promise and under deliver.

Prototype 1

The initial design phase was limited by the software chosen, so didn't progress past a few ideas, as I knew it would all need re-inventing. While you can build anything you want in 3DSMAX to the correct dimensions, the editing tools available are just not the same as using a real solid modelling program. 3DSMAX has no STEP file output, Solid Modeling programs have additional things like bearings & fasteners, it's much more fun having the right tool for the job.

Ideas for Inclusion into the Photo Bike:
Stabilizer, Winch, Telescopic Boom / Monopod /Sled
16mm Rails, 3D LR/90 Deg' Rig
Regenerative Power & other generator/motor technology?
Extension Arms, 360 Nodal Pan,  Pano Object table
Grips, Plates, Shoulder Pads, Balance weights & plenty of mounting holes

With further development who knows, Carbon Slider and one of those rigs that fly's on wire, no not the pegasus. Still working on the design of the lockable Iso elastic (or other) cross bar, who knows maybe that will be separate, and this cross bar could be used as on a one piece arm. I've seen many interesting design ideas, folding wheels Who knows maybe the wheels could be made into a mini-track?

A search for the perfect combination of Form & Function!
