Checking out a very easy build today. Enjoy! Happy Memorial Weekend! Twitter: @dave_donaldson Music by: Andreyka "Making Moves" • Andreyka - "Making Mov... subs:10,269
2:05 - You can raise this by yourself by placing a third stand in between them, then raise the third stand so that it pushes the entire goal post upwards and tighten at desired height. Now tighten the end goal posts and remove the third stand (this does take a bit of strength to do though).
Just found your channel today and am super glad I did. I am a dp and am always looking to learn grip stuff to better communicate with the gaffers I work with. I also take away setups that I can use for certain lighting situations. Love the way you guys break down these videos in a simple, easy to understand fashion.
Hey Dave, love your channel. Thanks for showing us the goal post rig. I would love to see more rigging with speed rail. I love seeing setups that get posted on griprigs and the most interesting ones to me are the crazy speed rail contraptions- particularly the car rigs. Just my two cents; thanks for another great episode!
well i was just looking for tips and tricks for grips, browsing around youtube, and I stumbled upon your channel. I definitely found what i was looking for!!
I will never regret subscribing to your channel. Even if things do not seem so practial for me right now in terms of doing some of these builds. It's a beautiful thing to know. Thank you again Dave!
wow.. that trick with the ears.. awesome! i've seen combos go down because of someone trying to raise/lower by themselves (doing inch by inch on both sides)
Thanks for sharing these awesome grip tips. Would you be kind enough to please provide a link in the details to the pieces you use? Thanks! In this case, I was interested in getting more info on the coupler.
Love your channel, keep up the great work!! Just an idea, is it possible for you to include links to the equipment pieces you're using in your videos? Especially if you're an affiliate with any companies that sell the equipment you're using. If it's too troublesome that's totally understandable!
Thanks so much for making these videos, Dave! Comedy, knowledge, & brevity = GOLD! How can I DM you? I'd like to drop some $ in your Patreon bank. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing more of these.
I don't know if this is safe, but I've seen it done a few times. Instead of using the pipe sleeve in the center, use the fulcrum point of a menace arm kit, then ratchet to both ends of the goal post. It seemed to help prevent bowing. Have you done this before/would you recommend it?
Does anyone know what kind of allen key coupler that is? I’ve only ever seen the kind like Matthews sells with knobs but I’ll love to fit it inside of a paper roll. Thanks so much in advance!
Agree with Jeff, it's the load limit the stands are rated for more so than the speed rail. You can also put a cardellini on the riser of the stand to act as a safety should the stand's brake start to slip it won't be able to fall as the cardellini will prevent it from sliding. Hard to explain in a comment, maybe Dave can show this technique sometime.
What kind of clamp would you use to rig a camera or a light to this rig? Preferably something with a 3/8 inch thread. It can be heard to search for what you need if you don't know the exact terminology for it. Thanks!
So for a light you’d use either a “grid clamp” with a junior reciever or a baby pin depending on the light. For a camera? You’d use a “cheese plate” with 3/8” grid clamps. Then bolt the clamps to the cheese plate. Done ☺️. Whichever you use, always add a safety chain just in case. And in the case of camera, safety chain or use webbing daisy chain the camera to the plate. And then regular safety chain the plate to the speed rail.
The electrician shirt :) Many thanks from California! Thank you so much for all your videos, it has really helped me on getting ready for the film shoot this week! I have been recommending your channel to all of my fellow film students in CSUN! One of my professors have also showed your videos as well!
