Should you Buy a Robotic Arm? 

Wow, amazing! Always sending fire through the TuBe! this is such an educational and funny video, The production quality tho!! One point to the folks that like to surf the comments, In defense of other arms and motions control systems out there like (mrmc, Sisu, Abb, Kuka...) they had more resources and build software/GUI to program their arms faster with some training (the reason they cost more)! however, to get your perfect pouring shoot (gravity and chaos is something you have to deal with and takes time)

Great video - there are lots of variously priced arms out there that will hold a camera (or welding head, or gripper etc), however the industry robots you mentioned at the start of the video are actually standard off the shelf robots, but specifically modified for cinema applications. Very powerful software to drive them and keep those camera paths nice and silky smooth. Most importantly though - if anyone is considering using an arm for a project, make sure you insist that it has ability to sync or genlock with your camera shutter to ensure that movement between camera and robot are syncronised - especailly if you're doing repeat passes on subjects - those video plates will never completely match without shutter sync between camera and the robot. Happy shooting!

Bro, the quality is going through the roof on this channel. I want a robot arm so bad!!

Once again Austen being real and exposing us to the realities of the industry which makes us more informed and that's always a good thing! So much value as always 👍🏼💪🏼👌🏼😎

Wow those were some clean camera movements. And building a robotic arm in your garage. Javier is the man!

When I was in Switzerland last year I was lucky enough to visit a friend-of-a-friend's creative production house and give their robotic arm a go - definitely less glamourous and flashy than the pro-sumer gear that gets marketed commercially, and much more complex to use! Won't be long now until we start seeing DJI, Zhiyun and Edelkrone entering the market for pro-sumer versions of these.

I was so close to not click on the video, because I was thinking - like I'll never get a robotic arm anyway. But I'm glad I saw it - it was a lot of fun! Cheers Austen and congrats on the almost 100k followers.

"He's an engineer." "I'm an engineer." hahaha! great video

Fantastic video! Thank you for putting the time in and sharing with us!

I’ve always wondered when they’ll reach to the masses and when more creators will start using them. Great video!

So interesting to learn about how you used the robotic arm. Just goes to show the equipment doesn't matter as much as your dedication, skills, & talented crew. @filmnamics definitely knows his stuff to build & program such a beast.

Bruh, I am doing some videos for them too and was checking out some of their previous posts and was like how tf they get this? That's awesome it was you lol.

Exceptional dude, great ads and great execution.

Love it dude!! Added one on my wishlist of gear for the studio 😅

I found this one rn... Man I just love your videos and sense of humor

Nice one guys 🙌🏻

Loved this! Next level man 😆😆😆 so cool and the shots look awesome

Awesome video man👍🏼

New studio 💥 🔥

hey, this video was amazing :* can you tell me what is the lens used with chronos?

Thanks for the reality check.. 👍

12 hours? something tells me I could nail them handheld in that time lol. Turned out so perfect though, good job.

im trying to see about automated camera rigs so i can do vfx shots and capture plate shots. not sure it there are any options that wont break the bank

whats the genre of that blueberry slowmo music on artlist?

Cool . How did you do that rolling grey smoke btw? :)

Wow, This is amazing

I am considering buying one. How can i put it to profit? What service can i offer or widget can i create with the arm?? I like ABB robotics :D NEW SUB!! :D

mind blowing 🤯 also very well information 🙌

Such a rabbit hole with all the additional kit required. 😵

lol the editing is hilarious

Love this videos

What do you think about the Chronos?

Wow amazing creator Austin poul ❤❤❤❤

100k soon😍

yup i'm mad stupid....ima just go cry now... cause damn this man is amazing for building his own robotic arm, just wow.

Good stuff, TY. Def out of my pay grade.

Hopefull one day you will be able to operate a robot arm the same way you operate a slider, where you just grab the camera on the robot arm place it at point one then at point two then adjust the speed and rubberbanding.

Javier so badass😆😆

I’m lucky afford food at this point.. I think I’m gonna hold off on the robotic arm for now,, haha

I’m building my own robot arm

Xavier, can we be friends? Like really close friends? 😂

*Can you buy a robotic arm?

no!

05:39 David?? 🤔

I think he over complicates it a bit. Yes if you’re building your own arm software is a mountain you’ll have to concur. But the consumer ones do not require you to know any coding.

to be fair? this old graphics card at 4k? cant handle your robotic arm....lol. much stuttering. im sure it will look evry nice when i put the 55 inch uled up.

it angers me that in 2024 this is still not an attainable reality

$40k? Ouch, dude got ripped off. That's a $9k run-of-the-mill toy from China.

Am I the only one that highly doubts that this guy made the whole industrial arm in his garage? Yes he made the end effector mount :D

this isnt really about robotic arms is it? its a man saying "robotic arm" over and over. 4:55 and weve now spent a ehole minute with a man who knows about robotic arms but we are listeig to the other fella say "robotic arm" as though he canno neither accept nor undrtsnad the conept. lol.

LOL you’re just talking about the topic, as if any of us could afford a robotic arm :D

Fantastic video! Thank you for putting the time in and sharing with us!
