Hey Ryan,
first of all, great work! This is a really great chance for young filmmakers to improve their work.
So I have a little problem, that i would love to solve.
When i first saw the moving results of your home depot steadicam, i was stunned! This thing could have made so many shots so much easier.
Full of pleasure, i odered the manfrotto adapter and ran towards the next next home depot in my city Munich (Germany), but i couldn't find any of the material needed to build one.
So I tried another home depot, but couldn't find anything either.
In the End, a salesman told me, that you couldn't get those kind of things in german home depots. (american standards are different than german)
That was a kick in the ass. I looked up for alternative parts, but in all cases there were missing links in the end.
I tried to order parts from the american home depot homepage, but no success. Only expensive stuff will be shipped.
So my question is, are there any possibilities to get the parts or a built one steadicam from you guys?
i would really appreciate your help!
thx roman
