Shorter uni-joint and handle for Stead i cam.
This is my uni-joint and handle derivative for Frits' steadicam.
I wanted the uni-joint and the handle to be as short as possible. I printed the derivative uni-joint from aron (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:14335) but just found it to be too long and bulky for my liking. (It is awesome for other uses though - it's in use in another project!)
This is made mainly with two printed parts, a 5/16 male/female ball joint, a cheap $5 Arlec LED torch and a skate bearing.
From the two printed parts - The main part is designed to fit into the bottom laser cut piece of the 'handle adjustment group of lasercut pieces' of Frits' steadicam.
- The smaller piece is a spacer to hold the skate bearing in place inside the torch head.
