Simple Camera Stabilizer Under $10.00

I am constantly taking photos and video on boats and cars. The problem off shaky video and unstable pictures led me to create a stabilizer for better quality photography. This simple but effective tool has helped me capture movie-like action scenes for my home albums.

For this project you will need:
Thread-locker (blue)
Electrical Tape
30 Half-inch cut washers
2 Fender washers (1/4 inch)
4 1/2' Long Quarter-inch Bolt and Nut (metric)
Wrench and Ratchet -11 mm

Put one of your fender washers for the base followed by 30 Half-inch Cut washers. Set remaining fender washer on top.

Grab your thread-locker and nut.

Loosely tighten the nut allowing some movement in the sandwiched washers

Level the washers by rolling them on a table or flat surface

Once plum, firmly tighten the bolt with your wrench and ratchet

Grab you electric tape and tightly wrap the washers putting 2-3 layers on.

Your Finished!

The stabilizer enhances the shot positions and stabilizes the video. Sorry I don't have a sample video
