<\/a><\/p>\nOk lets set something straight right off the bat….normally when you hear the term “DIY” it infers that the project is going to be cheap. This project is not cheap<\/strong>. Primarily because it requires you to own or have access to a SYRP Genie with ball head which retails for $999 (however, you may be able to find a cheaper alternative). If price isn’t a problem, this is an impressive homemade build for creating a motorized cable cam specifically for time-lapse video. See an example of this type of shooting:<\/p>\n DIY cable cams are notoriously shaky and loose which does not bode well for those trying to capture time-lapse video. Professional quality time-lapse footage have consistent and smooth movements which can only be accomplished by using some sort of motor. The Syrp Genie<\/strong> allows for people to get awesome moving time-lapse footage while utilizing a rotating head to add a second level of ‘oomph’ to their video. It’s a great tool and the following tutorial will show you how to make a 2 axis cable cam<\/strong>. First you will need to go to the hardware store and pick up…<\/p>\n Syrp claims that the supplies were purchased for $172.72<\/strong> at Home Depot. This list of course leaves out the Syrp Genie with ball head which can be purchased from B&H for $999<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n
