I am showing the setup I created for videoing my workshop tutorials and demonstrations. I use simple components. 1 inch square aluminum tubing and some hardware. I tig welding up the camera carrior. The aluminum I am not sure of the composition, I was hoping it was 6061, but it did not say that on the lable when purchased at Lowe's. I was going to purchase from my metal distributor, but they were close when I decided to build this device.
