22.01.2022 Social distancing allows more workshop time! Photo shows the Gimbal Arm finishing stages.
19.01.2022 Another new project is a light weight adaptor for a Wimberly Sidekick that replaces the heavy ballhead. http://www.licole.com.au/sidekick-adaptor.html
13.01.2022 The prototype Gimbal Head in operation. Not polished or anodised but very robust & silky smooth action.
09.01.2022 Flash Riser for hand-held telephoto shooting. Yet to be anodised. http://www.licole.com.au/other-projects.html
07.01.2022 I have been thinking about making a lightweight gimbal for a while now. The Wimberly Sidekick with Manfrotto Ball Head weighs about 1.35 kg & the Chinese Andoer weighs about 0.95 kg. So the new gimbal head started life as some second hand PVC pipe. 3 wraps of carbon fibre later & things are taking shape. Looks like it will come in at around 0.75 kg.
03.01.2022 A Carbon Gimbal Head always seemed like a good idea but it was only when I pulled out some old PVC plumbing that I started this project. The PVC scrap was heat gun bent, solvent glued, faired & wrapped with carbon & epoxy. Details & design for building your own at http://www.licole.com.au/carbon-gimbal-heads.
