Jaybilizer 3000 DIY Parts and Tutorials
What is the Jaybilizer 3000?
The Jaybilizer 3000 is the DIY open source version of the Jaybilizer camera stabilizer.
The Jaybilizer 3000 started out as a DIY Merlin-type Stedicam project. I wanted something that was better than the “barbell on a stick” type of camera stabilizer but not as expensive as a Stedicam Merlin or even a Glide-Cam 1000. I assembled a couple prototypes, dubbed the JayCam Mk1 and the JayCam Mk2 before coming up with the final design which I am calling the Jaybilzer 3000. You can assemble and modify your own rig to work with your camera. I’ve posted the DIY parts list here: Jaybilizer 3000 Parts list PDF and the “How to assemble a Jaybilizer 3000″ video below.

By assembling the stabilizer by yourself, it will only cost you about $110 for parts, hardware and paint. Saving you hundreds of dollars over other equivalent camera stabilizers, and you will have the satisfaction of having built it yourself.
You can assemble your own stabilizer by using washers instead of the plate ( which I demonstrate in the DIY video) or you can order the bridge plate below to use in your own build.
