I will explain the steps required to adjust your Bridgeport head to make it square with the table. And I will explain why that could be important.
Today i’m going to show you how to build your own Overhead camera rig! There were a lot of options out there but they were all way too expensive and with this you can build your own for under $50. This is a great project for anyone who needs to shoot directly downwards without a tripod getting in your way. If you have any questions about the project feel free to leave a comment and i’ll help you out!
