It is so essentially simple that Johnny Lee<\/a> made one out of three metal pipes and a weight. It is much nicer than the expensive pro ones and you can easily copy the design if you do not want to pay for the 39$ he asks for it.<\/p>\n If you have been attentive, you can remember that there were similar other ideas popping up in these pages before.<\/p>\n I recently stumbled upon several good ideas for the photographer (and cinematographer) with a limited budget.
