Last year I made an overhead camera rig and wasn’t in love with it. It was hard to adjust and unless I was doing a really close shot, the base of the rig was always in the video frame.
When I saw an old swing arm desk lamp at an estate sale I knew I could make something better. Here it is…
It was a very simple build…
Without the base, I’m already in love with how much extra space I have on the desk and how I can move the clamp all the way to the back of the desk with the arm against the wall.
