Tripod - do-it-yourself carriage

Good day, dear readers and the inhabitants of our site!
This article will be useful to everyone involved in the detailed shooting of small objects. In this article, the author of the channel "thosa" will show how he made a movable tripod for the camera. Such device It will be convenient for filming "around" the subject, without using a rotating table.

Materials
- Plywood cut
- 4 furniture corners
- 4 wheels, e.g. from rollers

Instrumentsused by the author.
- Screwdriver
- Drills 4.6 mm, Forstner drill
- Vise
- Wrenches, screwdriver
- Roulette, ruler
- Marking pencil, core
- Marking planer
- Band-saw
- The corner.

Manufacturing process.
So, as always, it all starts with the layout of the blanks. The author marks the strip of plywood.



Then saws it with a band saw.



With the help of a marking gage, he finds the centers of the corners.




Further, the core is marked according to the marking, and is drilled first with a thin drill.




An interesting way to remove steel filings. Wrapping a magnet in a napkin collects them from a vice. Throws away a napkin.





Drills diameter for M6 bolt.



Marks the centers of the bases for the wheels, a cross member will be attached to them. Fastens workpieces in a vice, drills under M6.




Marks the cross bar, drills it.






For mounting a tripod, it makes a recess with a Forstner drill. Cleans edges from chips.



Fixes a tripod on a platform.



Fastens corners for wheels with screws.





Installs mounting screws.



Screws the wheels to the corners.










Finishes the assembly of the structure, sets the transverse bar.


Everything, the carriage is ready. Now you can smoothly shoot!

At first I wanted to write that a rotating table is simpler in design and more convenient, but, having thought, I realized that in some cases this design will find application, for example, if the object is fixed and it cannot be moved to another place.
But the wild abundance of photos that do not carry any significant information discourages the desire to scroll to the end. ((
Who needs 10 photos of fixing first one wheel, then the second? It could be assumed that the second wheel is mounted differently, but no, and the second is screwed in the same standard way as the first!
According to the product itself. The author did not reflect, or he did not guess, but the tripod platform can be moved below the wheel platforms, dropping the camera a few centimeters lower, the design allows this.
Useful homemade! I would have made of thick metal, this is the case when weight is important for a smooth ride.
