1) The document provides instructions for assembling a DIY camera stabilizer using PVC pipes, T joints, elbow joints, screws, and PVC glue. 2) The assembly involves cutting the PVC pieces to size, drilling holes for screws, gluing the pieces together while ensuring proper alignment of joints, and adding a rubber cap to protect the camera. 3) When completed, the stabilizer can be used to smoothly mount a camera on a PVC frame for filming.

3. Essentials
>24” PVC pipe
2 T joints
4 elbow joints
2 machine screws
and wing fasteners
PVC glue
Hacksaw
Drill
1/4” drill bit
Measuring tape

5. Assembly
My dad and I first cut the
PVC pipe to two 1 foot pieces
and four 5” pieces. After
sanding the ends, we fitted
the joints, without gluing.

6. Nuts&bolts
After making sure all the pieces fit together, we drilled the holes in the
two T joints - one for the screw on which the camera will be mounted
and one for the (shorter) screw that will fasten the removable handle.

8. Gluing
With all the pieces cut down
to size, sanded, wiped clean
and drilled, we proceeded to
gluing the whole thing
together with PVC glue.

9. Assemblyv.2
We needed to make sure all
the parts (especially the
joints) were completely
aligned, and that one T joint
needs to be pointed upwards
and the other outwards.

10. Finaltouches+fitting
We up-cycled a rubber bottle cap by attaching it to the T joint on which
my camera will be mounted. This would prevent any scratches on the
bottom of my camera, from being spun onto the PVC.
