I made a few adjustments to the DIY DSLR Rig that I have been crafting. I made some minor comfort adjustments. I shifted the front support bar over to the right and back toward the camera for better support. I added some fasteners to the handles because there was some front to back wobble. I also did a basic tightening down of everything to reduce any other shake in the rig itself.

The rig is honestly about your comfort. I have provided exact details to what I like and you can make your adjustments from there. I have noticed that the camera support may be a little long. However, I built the support in compensation to use a Canon 70-200mm lens. It seems I may be changing direction in that sense because I’m currently looking to purchase a Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8.

The next tutorial will be applying some counter balance to the rig for better support as well as a fitted shoulder mount. Possibly a matte box and Zoom H4N Shock Mount as well.
