In this video I'll be showing you how I built a professional camera stand complete with counter balance weight. The intended use for this stand is in a studio or workshop environment as it is not designed for portability. This stand is extremely versatile and can be use for overhead shooting as well as traditional work. The payload is adjustable corresponding to your counter weighting.

Dec 21, 2023 Update: I'm very happy to inform you that I just completed a build guide kit consisting of a 30 minute 4k video that includes all links with high resolution images in addition to the corresponding pptx/pdf files that you may print as a job aid. The kit is available for $79.95 USD. If it's of interest, you can reach me at: [email protected] If you purchase the kit, I will offer email support should you run into any snags during your build.
