Vaughn Whynot's Blog: Camera Tips - Camera Handle
By: Mr.Whynot


"from the site HDskate.com articles Make Your Own Video Camera Handle"

Make Your Own Video Camera Handle

Alright so you want a better way to film lines and all around, make your filming smoother. The answer is a tripod mount handle. Your end result will look like this.

Camera with finished handle

Your best bet is to start working on a clean, level surface. Try not to use the best table in the house, unless no one is going to care. It’s probably better to work on something fairly high off the ground, seeing as I always work on the floor and cause myself uneeded back pain.

To get started, here’s everything you need and it can all be found at your local hardware store. Luckily I found everything in my basement.

  • One peice of metal, 1 inch wide, 1/8th to 1/4 inch thick and about 20 inches long. More for larger cameras. Less for smaller cameras. Around 20 is average.
  • One quarter inch bolt to screw the handle into the tripod mount hole.
  • One wingnut to screw upside down into the screw to secure it to a camera.
  • A washer or two .

Materials

Materials

The next step is to drill the hole in the piece of metal. To do this turn your camera upside down and grab a tape measure. Measure the distance from the tripod hole to the front of the camera. That’s how far away from the start of your handle your hole should be. Make a mark there with a marker then use a drill to bore a hole through it. A drill press would be much easier if you have accesss to one. On the handle I made here, the hole was already on the piece of metal so I decided to use that and it’s actually fine for the Panasonic GS series cameras.

After you have your hole drilled decide how far along the metal bar you want your bands to be. You should probably have something along the lines of 6 inches for the bottom, 6 inches for the vertical part, and 7 inches for the top, but like I said earlier, if you’re cameras bigger you might wanna make it bigger. You probably won’t have to make it more than 22 inches. Again, using a measure tape and a marker, make marks at the places you wann to bend at.

Measure And Mark

Measure And Mark

Now You want to find something you can use to bend the metal. A couple good choices are:

  • Some heavy weights, about 100 pounds or so. You can wedge the handle under the very bottom one and lift it up at the marked bend location.
  • Vise grip, lock it in so you can just bearly see your markings then pull/push to bend it.
  • A pole, like I did.

Bend The Handle

Bend The Handle

Once You have both the bends done that’s just about it. You might want to paint your handle or put some stickers on it to decorate it. One of the coolest things is to get the infrared remote your camera came with and tape it to the top so you can record without taking your hand off the handle.

Screw the handle on to your tripod mount and you’re done!

D.O.P.E. is coming!!!!
DEATH OR PRISON EVENTUALLY!!!!!
A true story about the greats of Skating
Bruce Logan World Champion 1975 76
Dogtowns Jay Adams maybe the skater who revolusionised skateboarding
Dennis Martinez world Chmapion
Christian Hosoi the skate star of the 80s
D.O.P.E. tracks the Rise and Fall and Redemption of Four major skateboard legends.
Stunning archival footage and current HD interviews take you on a rollercoaster ride through heaven and hell, where the highs of championship trophies are followed by the lows of addiction,homelessness,prison and death. Original music by Grammy winners ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, P.O.D> and SWITCHFOOT along with some exciting new musical groups is perfectly married with the gritty narration of famed actor DANNY TREJO. The Rise is steep the fall is brutal and the Redemption nothing less than miraculous.
 
Nobody"s going to get up for popcorn during this film; I coudn't turn away for a second.
WATCH IT
-Actor Danny Trejo
 
D.O.P.E is DogTown with a message. I've skated all my life, and write this with a broken wrist from skating. This film is all about brokenness, but so much more, this film is about redemption!!!
 
-Jim Moriarty, CEO Surfrider Foundation
 
Everyone pretty much knows that drugs wreck LIVES, but somehow the message doesn't seem to hit home enough to stop people from doin' 'em D.O.P.E. delivers the point with both barrels. With unflinching cander and unfeigned grit, the amazing story of one of skateboarding's founding legends; Dennis Martinez speaks with authority that transcends wards of power that will change lives.
 
-Skateboarding Legend Rodney Mullen
 
This movie shows how any person at the top of their game can be taken over by the uncontrolled power of drugs and be changed forever. You can only ride the edge so far before you FALL.
 
-Professional Skateboarder, 6 times X Games Champion Bucky Lasek
 
A Fascinating glimpse into the rise , fall and redemption of some of the world's greatest
- Michael Brooke, Publisher, Concrete Wave
 
In sharing this with you all I feel is blessed to be a part of this.
Like last year
Myself and Dennis Martinez are going to be going into the schools in the Cayman Islands to share this message and then on the 31st May 2008 we will be showing the movie in one of the local Cinemas.
Being in Law Enforcemnet I have had first hand experience seeing people make the wrong decision to get involved in drugs. I have seen families torn appart, people die because of drugs, do time, and suffer illnesses which have lead also to eventuall death.
 
Dennis Martinez is someone who has lived it at the top earning over $40,000.00US per month in the 1970's, he had alll sponsorships, shoes, boards, cars all the trimmings being the top dog in skating, he then threw it all away for drugs. Imagine  he pawned for $500.00US  of DOPE his pride and joy his WORLD CUP which he set his eyes on from the age of 12 years old. He lived on the streets saw his freinds die, robbed for a living to also feed his drug habit. He did time in prison; then something changed he now has a life he is a tireless worker for the better. He now pasters to CAT 4 prisoners he shares his experience so others do not make the same mistakes he and others made. I advise all to watch this movie as their are lessons to be learned by all
if you use drugs think about what help is out there seek it and get off it and if you know people do the right thing as a freind help them. THE LIFE YOU SAVE MIGHT BE YOUR OWN.
If you come to the Cayman Islands to skate BLACK PEARL you can say hi cause I will be there. a skater and PROUD FARTHER of
Brian 16
Sean 7
Juliana 2 she also skates
They skate and can be seen at Black Pearl

So last week the Gromfest crew had a trip to the land of bikinis, movie stars and traffic jams...yes that's right, we went to Los Angeles.
 
You know there's something about that city (not that I could live there), but it gives off an exciting vibe when it comes to the world of skateboarding and snowboarding.  If you want to work in the industry that's the place to go.  Yes, yes I know you could always go work for Habitat in Ohio or Burton in Vermont or Mervin in Washington or Never Summer in Colorado or...you know what, that's not the point, the point is that the majority of the industry is based in Caliornia.
 
So for a week the Gromfest crew had meeting after meeting talking with potential sponsors about the big deal next summer.  What also got laid out while we were down there was the schedule for SoCal Skate Qualifiers.
 
Let it be known that SPAUSA and Giant Skateboards are helping to put on all things Gromfest in SoCal.
 
Gromfest and SPAUSA (Skate Park Association of the United States of America) will be putting on 4 skate comps around the Southern California area between now and next summer.  Show up to one of those events and kick some major keister and you'll be on your way to the semi-finals.  This is where Giant comes in.
 
I don't know if you've heard but Giant Skateboards has their own park and they're letting us use it!  We'll bring the top 10 kids from each of the 4 comps to the semi-finals at Giant.  There those 40 will compete and we'll select 2 from each of the previous comps (8 total) to qualify for the finals next summer at Whistler. 
 
What events can get you qualified you may ask...well here they are:
 
SOCAL GROMFEST QUALIFIERS
 
Los Angeles Qualifier
Date TBD (spring)
 
Vans Skatepark - Orange County Qualifier
Date TBD (spring)
 
Skate Lab - Simi Valley Qualifier
Date TBD (spring)
 
San Diego Qualifier
Date TBD (spring)

I know, we don't have final dates and locations set but they're being arranged right now...we were just so excited about what's going on in SoCal that we had to tell you.  Remember to keep an eye to the event schedule on the Gromfest page for all the latest qualifying events!

GREG LUTZKA WINS SECOND SLAM CITY MEN'S STREET TITLE IN THREE YEARS

CALGARY (Sunday, August 27th,2006) –– American professional Greg Lutzka, a 21- year-old X Games star from Huntington Beach, California, captured his second Slam City Jam men's Street title in three years by finishing first in front of a near capacity crowd at the Calgary Corral at Stampede Park.

Lutzka took home $15,000 in first-place prize money by scoring 94.50 points and edging out Chad Bartie of Australia, who finished second with 86.25 points and earned $9,000.

The Calgary crowd, which totalled more than 22,000 in cumulative attendance over six sessions and three days of men's and women's Street and Vert competition at Stampede Park, was wowed by impressive performances by a series of Canadian amateurs who qualified for the big show with their efforts in the DC Nationals and Es Game of Skate Friday.

Sascha Daley of Courtenay, B.C., the 19-year-old who won the DC Nationals amateur championships Friday, placed eighth in the men's Street competition.

More than 100 top skateboarders competed in the 13th Slam City Jam, held in Calgary for the first time after 12 years in Vancouver. Competitions included the DC Nationals, the Es Game of Skate, the Slam City men's and women's Vert and the Slam City men's and women's Street, along with a demonstration Friday night by international skateboarding icon Tony Hawk and his Grand Jam.

…16-year-old professional seeks to reclaim Slam City crown he captured in 2003 in Vancouver when $100,000 skateboarding event hits Calgary for debut August 25-27, 2006

CALGARY (Thursday, August 10th, 2006) –– Ryan Sheckler of the United States is the first former champion to confirm his entry for the Slam City Jam North American Skateboard Championships to be held August 25-27 at Stampede Park.

The 16-year-old Californian, who won the silver medal at X Games 12 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last weekend, will be among those competing for USD $100,000 in prize money at Slam City, the longest-running skateboarding event in the world and part of the World Cup of Skateboarding.

“We’re very pleased to have received the entry of Ryan Sheckler, who will bring to Slam City Jam the kind of world-class skills which have made him one of the hottest names in skateboarding and we’re looking forward to having him back as a former champion,” said Kleo Landucci, President of Slam City Jam, which is making its debut in Calgary this year. “As an event that prides itself in featuring the best of the best, we’re always pleased to see former champions come back to either defend or reclaim their crowns.”

A native of San Clemente, California, Sheckler won Slam City in 2003 in his first year of professional skateboarding at the age of 13. He has won several events including the XGames and Gravity Games.

Sponsored by SOBE, Oakley, Almost, Etnies, Volcom, Tensor, Ninja Bearings, CCS, Bones Wheels and Nixon, Sheckler is known for his strong and consistent skating style. Versatile enough to be touted as one of the world’s best in Street, Tranny and Skateparks, Sheckler has become one of the most recognized personalities in skateboarding on the strength of videos and commercials for Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes, Gogurt and Sony Vaio video cameras. He has also appeared in two movies: Grind and MVP2.

The multiple California state champion began skateboarding at the age of four in his driveway and by the age of seven, was doing tricks on his own backyard mini-ramp.

“He’s a perfect example of the kind of athletes who make Slam City Jam what it is and we’re thrilled that Ryan will be part of our debut in Calgary this year,” said Landucci. “He’s guaranteed to put on a great show for our fans at Stampede Park.”

Over 100 of the world’s top pros will vie for championship titles as part of a festival that showcases the best in skateboarding, music and lifestyle. Three-day SERIES Tickets are available now on line and by phone at www.ticketmaster.ca and at 1.403.777.0633. Single-day passes go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Aug. 11th, at all Ticketmaster outlets. The latest information is available at www.slamcityjam.com

He has been featured on “MTV Cribs” and is one of the highest-profile MCs in the world.

“Supernat is a great addition to our music line up at Slam City and we’re very pleased to have him add to the great mix for our fans in Calgary,” said Kleo Landucci, President of Slam City Jam. “With Blackalicious announced last Thursday, our line up is taking shape in a way that’s bound to create a buzz among our fans.”

…Early-Bird campaign closes out with more than 4,000 session tickets sold and sell outs in Grand and Gold Slam reserved seating sections at Stampede Park venues

CALGARY (Wednesday, June 21, 2006) The longest day of the year is being used to release the schedule for the longest-running major skateboarding event in the world: The Slam City Jam North American Skateboard Championships, scheduled for August 25-27 at Stampede Park in Calgary.

“What better way to announce our plans for Slam City Jam than to do so on ‘Go Skateboarding Day’ and on the first day of summer, the longest day of the year?” asked Kleo Landucci, President of Slam City Jam, a premiere event on the World Cup of Skateboarding since 1994 and the world’s longest-running skateboarding event. “We’re pleased to be announcing a jam-packed schedule of skateboarding, music and lifestyle that spans Street and Vert competitions, live MCs and music and interactive entertainment and exhibits at our SK8 Expo. Slam will be an extra long weekend for our fans in Calgary.”

Organizers released the competition schedule for the three-day event in a media conference held at Shaw Millennium Park, one of the largest skate parks in Canada and an appropriate venue for Go Skateboarding Day, an industry-wide celebration marking the international growth and development of skateboarding.

There will be six sessions of skateboarding, beginning Friday, August 25th, at 10 a.m. That day includes the finals of the DC Nationals, Canada’s amateur skateboarding championships, the Es Game of Skate and a special appearance by international skateboarding icon Tony Hawk on Friday night. Matinee sessions will begin each day at 10 a.m., with the Evening sessions slated for 4 p.m. starts. The championship finals in both Street and Vert will take place on Sunday, August 27th.

Showcasing the lifestyle and culture of skateboarding will be the focus of the SK8 Expo held at the Round-Up Centre from 10a.m. to 9 p.m. all three days. Full details on the music line up and featured MCs will be announced in the coming weeks.

International “Go Skateboarding Day” also marked the final day to purchase Early-Bird Three-day SERIES tickets and a draw to win 10 personal meetings with Tony Hawk. Landucci announced that the first phase of the Calgary event campaign ends today with more than 4,000 session tickets and more than 700 three-day SERIES tickets sold. The Grand Slam and Gold Slam reserved seating sections are fully sold out, although great seats and reserved seating remain for Silver Slam and Bronze Slam sections at the Calgary Corral.

“We’re very pleased with the response we’ve received here in Calgary and we look forward to working this summer with local skate parks, skate shops and the community at large to ensure we stage a great debut event at Stampede Park and showcase the best in skateboarding, music and lifestyle,” said Landucci. “We’re inviting everyone who loves skateboarding and action sports to come together for a great weekend in Calgary.”
Landucci acknowledged the intimate venues at Stampede Park (the Calgary Corral with its capacity for under 7,000 and the Round-Up Centre with its capacity for 3,800) combined with the special appearance of Tony Hawk and the expected strong list of entries lured by more than $100,000 USD in prize money to give Slam City Jam a strong start to its ticket-selling campaign for this year’s event.

“With eight weeks still to go before Slam hits Stampede Park, we have already sold more advance tickets than we did last year in Vancouver,” said Landucci. “That’s partly due to the appeal of Tony Hawk, partly due to the strong list of entries who have made Slam an annual habit over the years and partly due to the atmosphere fans expect at such intimate venues as the Corral and the Round-Up Centre. But it’s also a tribute to the growing skateboarding community in Calgary and the can-do attitude that makes events here so successful.”

Special Early-bird pricing continues until 9 p.m. Mountain Time tonight for purchases made at www.ticketmaster.ca and over the phone at Ticketmaster. Fans buying Early-Bird SERIES Tickets at Ticketmaster will be subject to only 6 % GST, with event organizers picking up the extra point on all sales between now and June 30th.

Early-bird pricing offers up to 33% savings on regular admission. Three-day SERIES Tickets sold beginning tomorrow, June 22nd, will offer 20% savings on regular admission and priority access to see Tony Hawk’s Grand Jam Crew, Friday night August 25th.

About the Prize:
The AG-HVX200 HD Camera-Recorder Puts a Host of Powerful Features in Your Hands
This handheld DVCPRO HD P2 camera-recorder is designed to meet emerging needs in HD content production. It debuts as Panasonic's first HD video product to use P2, the cutting-edge memory recording device that has the potential to revolutionize the entire production paradigm. The AG-HVX200 records HD, either 1080i or 720p video acquired by a new optical system and high-performance digital signal processor onto a P2 card using the broadcasting DVCPRO HD codec. This system achieves a level of image quality that conventional handheld HD cameras simply cannot match, while also supporting HD/SD multi-format and multi-codec recording capabilities. Variable frame rate recording is just one of the features that makes the AG-HVX200 unique in its class. Using technologies that make the Panasonic VariCam camera-recorder a favorite in movie production, this powerful function allows the overcranking and undercranking techniques used with film cameras to create fast-motion and slow-motion effects. The P2 card offers superior reliability, immediate playback and outstanding cost-performance. It allows direct connection to nonlinear editing systems and streamlines the production work flow, by providing to the editing system data files ready to be edited, rather than a video tape which would require the task of digitizing. On top of all its advanced features and technologies, the AG-HVX200 inherits the refined design and easy operation that distinguishes Panasonic's high-value DVX100 DV camera series. In the AG-HVX200, video professionals of all kinds will find a powerful tool for giving form to their creative visions.

Panic At The Disco
 
I Write Sins Not Tragedies

Oh, well imagine; as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor,
and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words.
"What a beautiful wedding!", "What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...oh.

Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for, a toast so, pour the champagne
Oh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne. ("yes")

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing
the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Again...

I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!" No.
It's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing the god damn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

Again...
