Nicely done!

Thanks for sharing. I saw this video on your Vimeo channel a few weeks ago. How did you make the four ball arms that are used for feets? 5mm stainless steel or aluminium for the rods maybe, but what about the 1" ball ends?
Hi Raptor
The legs are made of some 3/8" SS tubing i had laying around. The ball ends was a project in the lathe with some plastic. That project didn`t went so good, but good enough to use them as legs
I think the best solutions is to buy some cheap ball arms, you can anyway use them as strobe arms when not in use as legs.
A few of these (https://www.rammount.com/part/RAP-B-379U-252050) and some aluminum rods and you can make your own legs.
Thanks. Always nice to see some DIY projects ![]()
