If you take your hobby of making videos seriously, you would need to “invest” in microphones and lighting units, software and hardware, cranes and camera stabilisers etc

Now most of these items are expensive to purchase commercially
- which is where this site comes in.

After all, if you go right back to the basics, a lighting unit is essentially a lamp in a reflector! Why do you need a brandname such as Arri or a Redhead? Handled correctly, a cheap floodlight could suffice just as well!

And why pay $$$ for a softbox when you can make one quite easily with very little mechanical knowledge. In fact, our model is probably BETTER than commercial versions as it has a 30″ diffuser on the front! (Cost about £25)

Why pay thousands for a camera stabiliser when you can build one for a few hundred… if that!

Note: We’re not talking about a weight on the end of a pole acting as a stabiliser. We’re talking about a full metal rig with spring loaded articulated arms

Most of our projects will be broken down into simple to follow PDF ebook plans. They will vary in price dependant on the number of pages within the guide, but will average around $19:95 each.

Plus, this site will also carry extra sections, such as links to other video related sites, tutorials, videos and more

Below, you will see some of the projects I hope to develop over the coming months. None of the projects will involve specialist machinery, except perhaps an electric drill and vertical drill stand attachment, a hacksaw and a hammer and an engineer’s vice! In otherwords, equipment the average DIY-er will already own.
