DIY Camera Shoulder Rest

Do you use a camcorder, do you have problems with the shakes, then you need one of these. It bolts to the tripod mounting on the camcorder and turns your camcorder into a shoulder mount.

Very easy to make and use for only 12 Euro.

Easily made from a aluminium gutter support. You might have to alter the length and the bend to suit your own camcorder. The Replacement sponge from a Plastic smoothener is used for the shoulder rest.

You need the following:

1.) a aluminium gutter support
2.) and another aluminium gutter support
3.) The Replacement sponge from a Plastic smoothener
4.) 2 Bolts and washers M 10
5.) 1 bolt for the tripod mounting of your camcorder

Drill two 11 mm holes. The placement of the holes depends on the size of your camera.

I’ve used an old screw to create a threat. I know there are more professional ways of doing this, but I don’t have the right tools.

Measure the width of the aluminium strip. Cut off a strip of rubber slightly wider than the aluminium strip.

I’d used a roll of double sided tape, but perhaps it will be better to use glue.

Attach the camera and start to shoot great movies.
