I recently built this DIY 180 orbit rig from available camera accessories. To make shots like this. You might think why not just use a turntable, well I don’t like the look of only the product spinning while the background is static. While moving the camera around the subject gives a much more dynamic look in its entirety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this setup I can even orbit around tiny objects using a macro lens. Like this tiny adapter. But the only limitation is really with bigger objects and anything really large becomes very hard to capture with this setup even with a wide angle lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also there isn\u2019t really that many products out that can do this, but also I like that I can break it down and have a compact setup to bring with me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I call it 180, but in reality it can rotate much more than 180 degrees, just not the full 360 degrees. As the C shape design of it blocks it from doing a full rotation. However for me this isn\u2019t really a big issue as in my video I rarely need to show a full rotation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now to the parts that I have used to build this setup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cheeseplate 1681 – https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HU9yWz<\/a>
V-Lock 1846 – https:\/\/amzn.to\/3GlBWk0<\/a>
Pan Head – https:\/\/amzn.to\/33tLAmo<\/a>
240mm Plate – https:\/\/amzn.to\/3GigNY9<\/a>
Z Tilt head – https:\/\/amzn.to\/3FgxUbA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optionally is the extra quick release on top to quickly remove the camera from the Z Tilt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

The reason I am using a Z Tilt instead of a video head is that I only need the camera to tilt and move up or down to get the correct framing and the Z tilt gives enough flexibility for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another Con is that the pan head isn\u2019t really built to hold extreme weights so far away from its center and I would really limit this setup to very light weight cameras and lenses. Which for me isn\u2019t that big of an issue, as I am very happy with this setup and finally able to achieve the shots that I wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
