We&#8217;ll show you how in this video tutorial.<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve ever seen a Tasty video, a Casey Neistat animation, or any how-to video, you&#8217;ve seen this top-down shot. Today, we&#8217;re going to look at how you can build your own setup for an office or studio. Unlike a C-stand or tripod, this model is a stationary rig, perfect for anybody who needs a one stop-shop for their YouTube channel or freelance projects.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at how to piece the rig together from the drawing board.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3U8KREGcMlg?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"take-your-measurements\">Take Your Measurements<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-100450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dimensions.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"755\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dimensions.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dimensions.jpg?resize=300,155 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dimensions.jpg?resize=277,143 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dimensions.jpg?resize=359,186 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dimensions.jpg?resize=543,281 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dimensions.jpg?resize=560,290 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Dimensions.jpg?resize=150,78 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So, the measurements for this build are going to depend entirely upon the space where you&#8217;re planning on putting it.\u00a0If you want\u00a0the rig to sit on your desk, make sure it&#8217;s wide enough\u00a0without being\u00a0too close to the edge.<\/p>\n<p>For my build, the boards are 35 inches long \u2014 for the most part. You&#8217;ll see in the video that I originally planned support beams that were a bit smaller on the sides; however, the wood I bought was warped and kept cracking, so I stuck with the thicker 1 1\/2 inch-wide beams that I used for the four main support beams.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>(8) 35 inch long boards (1 1\/2 inch wide).<\/li>\n<li>(1) 33 inch back support beam (1 1\/12 inch wide).<\/li>\n<li>(1) 38 inch camera mount board (1 1\/2 inch wide).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Be sure to use &#8220;construction screws.&#8221; The length and width of the screws will vary based on the widths and lengths of the beams. Just make sure they&#8217;re long enough to connect.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"designing-the-camera-plate\">Designing the Camera Plate<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-100451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Chippies.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"755\" height=\"273\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Chippies.jpg 755w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Chippies.jpg?resize=300,108 300w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Chippies.jpg?resize=277,100 277w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Chippies.jpg?resize=359,130 359w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Chippies.jpg?resize=543,196 543w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Chippies.jpg?resize=560,202 560w, https:\/\/vip-go.premiumbeat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Chippies.jpg?resize=150,54 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 755px) 100vw, 755px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the camera board, you can use a couple of different methods. As\u00a0you can see in the video, you can attach the camera directly to a 1\/4 inch-wide hex bolt. The camera will be secure as long as you screw it in all the way, but if you want to be extra cautious (if you&#8217;re using rented gear) you can also attach a quickdraw plate like you&#8217;d use on a small tripod or gorilla pod and screw the camera in that way.<\/p>\n<p>To keep the board on track and\u00a0prevent it from moving around on the top support beams, I recommend attaching two small pieces of wood on the bottom of the board. The little piece might split, so be ready to try out bigger sizes (like I did).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For more DIY builds like this, check out our past coverage:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/video-tutorial-build-camera-dolly\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">How to Build Your Own Dolly for $50\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/low-budget-lighting-10-dollars\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Grab These Low-Budget Lighting Accessories for Under $10<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premiumbeat.com\/blog\/dyi-pedestal-dolly-under-140-dollars\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">Build Your Own Butt\/Pedestal Dolly for under $140<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Using nothing but wood and screws, you can measure out and build an overhead camera rig.
