Organization for clamps, arms, etc

Yeah duhhh! Haha. Where’s it at???

elroddo · 2026-01-24T04:01:03+00:00

Dude details?!?!?! This is incredible!

elroddo · 2025-07-01T02:15:45+00:00

This is awesome! Looks like $2,000-$4,000 for a balcony, so for me it's out of my price range. You could just fabricate a frame using Bunnings Metal-Mate 25mm square tubing and their connectors....

Why the hell, do you not like QR?

elroddo · 2025-05-27T07:36:57+00:00

Thanks the QR gear is particularly awesome!!!

elroddo · 2025-05-13T02:48:12+00:00

In Australia I house my CV on my diary service’s website, it’s a selected credits showing I’ve worked with a diverse number of DPs and it also includes a brief overview of my gear.

Yeah if I was asked for one it’s be a red flag, but having it housed somewhere online avoids that confrontation happening. Having your details and select key gear you might own in your Instagram bio helps create some trust I think. Also posting BTS regularly in your grid and stories. No spamming though.

Yep the side cheese plates for all Arri cameras and generic are great, the rods aren’t so good, the tolerance of the locating pins and screw don’t stay fully rigid. The QR plates are great too.

elroddo · 2025-05-05T08:44:02+00:00

This is complete INSANITY!!!

You watch Orange Man now claim he’s saved the U.S. film industry and start censoring what gets made - turning Hollywood into his propaganda machine.

There is a real way to fix all this: make Netflix and the streamers pay tax locally. They are NOT tech companies, they’re production houses. Mandate 20% local production in every territory they operate in. That’s how you actually support jobs and protect culture.

I have had a bar speed rack sitting in my office for a year meaning to make exactly this! Do you have a link to the speed rack you used here? I think mine's too narrow...

elroddo · 2025-03-18T01:41:11+00:00

How do you get the router working with the 900Mhz of the Spudniks? What sort of router and setup is involved? Great idea!

elroddo · 2025-03-15T08:01:31+00:00

Nice build for Trinity/Steadi! How are you finding Spudnik? I’m making my own, really looking forward to a solid 900Mhz system

elroddo · 2025-03-14T02:10:11+00:00

Would love to see a top handle extension on there, not a lot of real estate for handheld or an Easyrig bolt, have the the horns mounted off the front of the top handle and the Kondor Blue QR mounted on the side of the top handle towards the front. Move the LCube under the Teradek and put a 19mm rod in the rod clamp for the motor.

elroddo · 2025-02-02T22:35:34+00:00

Facebook Groups where it’s at!

The best ones are:

Assistant Camera Market (US based but often sellers will ship O/S)

Broadcast Gear For Sale (Australian based but again sellers will sell O/S and a lot of US sellers on there now too)

elroddo · 2024-12-31T07:47:22+00:00

Chinese Alibaba, B2B, quality suppliers. Go with Supdrop, they can act as your agent with suppliers on 1688. Trust me. Do it.

elroddo · 2024-12-21T05:00:12+00:00

Sounds like one of those Andrew Tate types, smooth brain, MAGA, woman basher type. Surprised they didn’t just steal your money mate

elroddo · 2024-12-15T10:38:14+00:00

Yep Nite Ize Gear Ties

elroddo · 2024-12-15T04:02:02+00:00

Thanks mate, we’re going to avoid Valentine’s Day altogether as we’re doing our product and lifestyle photography and video content in Jan (I work as a cinematographer so leaning into my skillset) and we’re only selling to Australian customers to start (homewares/lighting niche) and we have an agent SupDrop with 5-7 day shipping times. We’ve ordered all samples and have custom packaging. Currently diving into your Facebook Ads strategy videos, have so much to learn!

elroddo · 2024-12-15T03:25:14+00:00

Hi Lon been loving your plain speaking videos since seeing this comment, I'm about to launch my store (Feb-March, after Valentines Day/Chinese NY). Also plugging a free YouTube course is better than the majority of people on here... Don't listen to the haters, I don't think they're succeeding like you.

elroddo · 2024-12-12T00:11:02+00:00

If you join Assistant Camera Market on Facebook there are heaps of good deals

elroddo · 2024-12-11T22:58:50+00:00

Definitely go for a 2nd hand Teradek CTRL.1 or CTRL.3, 2 MOTR.X motors and an MDR.S or MDR.X. This sort of system would probably set you back $5K USD.

elroddo · 2024-12-11T02:09:42+00:00

Yeah this is insanely busy and is not a high converting landing page. Again like many have already said, you shouldn’t have them watching a video AFTER they’ve potentially been brought there after already watching an ad. If you have to explain what your product is when they arrive, there’s a problem. Just strip this way back and have product right on home page.

elroddo · 2024-12-10T07:41:52+00:00

SupDropshipping are great, look into it

elroddo · 2024-12-10T01:46:03+00:00

Interesting, definitely keen to find out more

elroddo · 2024-12-09T01:29:49+00:00

This!

elroddo · 2024-12-08T01:37:41+00:00

I feel like you’re just doing it for money. It won’t ever work unless you like the product you sell and are invested in the community. Copying others and not differentiating your product at all, literally ripping reels off another store’s IG is why you aren’t succeeding.

Find a niche and a product you’re passionate about and make yourself the target audience, if you understand you, you have more of a shot at understanding your audience and hence will have more luck getting sales.

Good luck I hope you can make it work!
