Make Your Own Overhead Camera Rig!

If you’ve ever tried to film or photograph a top down or overhead shot, you realize that it can be difficult at times to set up those shots. I have built a stand that will cost you less than $50 for a dedicated overhead camera rig setup, which is just as strong and stable as some commercial rigs that are over four times the price!

After looking at various solutions this is the easiest, strongest and, most stable overhead camera rig I came up with to get that perfect top down video! So get those overhead shots like Peter McKinnon for a fraction of the price of a professional rig!
