Hello everyone! After a bit of a hiatius, and time away from the shop, I'm back again with another project video. This time I'm tackling making a miniature tripod tilt head, for mounting my small compact camera onto, among other things, my home made monopod and giving it a bit of extra articulation.

It was a little bit of a challenging project, in that it involved some methods I hadn't utilized before, but I am very happy with the outcome and since the video was recorded the tilt head has been used extensively, and shows no signs of malfunctioning.

Hope you enjoy the video!

Too late. I already watched it :)

Very nice project as usual. I especially liked the guest star at the end.
 
Great video, and a very nice job on the tilt head.
 
Hey! Thanks guys! It was great fun to make, hope you had at least a fraction as fun watching!
 
Hey Daniel, love the project. I've been a long time subscriber to your channel and I'm thrilled to see you here! :welcome!:
 
Beautiful work as usual, but I have one comment. This is for the new to the hobby people. When watching the video there are two things to take into account. #1 It is in high speed and #2 keep you hands away from anything that moves especially a spinning chuck. I have seen veteran machinists break fingers and worse, lose them.

vapremac, thank you, glad you liked it!

Andre, wonderful. It's always fun to run into subscribers around! Cheers!

Bill, for sure. people should always be careful! Even when people are careful accidents happen. I have this saying of "Do what I say, don't do what I do!", because sometimes you take calculated risks which people with less experience should not. I'm working on a blooper reel though, but luckily I'm making way less bloopers than what I deserve, so it may take some time to finish before I have enough material.
