JIB-ARM REMOTE HEAD PLANS by Cody Deegan These plans are for the remote head I built for my Canon XL1 miniDV camera. I donʼt recommend using cameras heavier than 9 pou nds with this particular design without stren gth modications. These plans are in no way complete, for example: I donʼt show in detail how to mount the elec- tronics or how to build a mount for a camera - I leave those details up to the builder (these plans are free and I got tired, what do you expect?). Be sure to use the Surface Frequency of 75 mhz on your transmitters, re- ceivers, and crystals. Use of Aircraft Frequency ( 72 mhz) is an FCC v io- lation and also poses a serious safety hazard if used within a few miles ofothers who are using the frequency for aircraft. Anyway, I hope the information contained within is helpful. If you have better construction methods than what is explained herein, then by all means, use them. Get some id eas from thes e plans and build a better one. If youʼre new to building things, just follow right along and I think youʼll be happy w ith the result ( I really like min e). Go get all y our cinematic visions realized and make su re to wear tho se safety go ggles. Good luck building.

JIB-ARM REMOTE HEAD
PLANS
by Cody Deegan
These plans are for the remote head I built for my Canon XL1 miniDVcamera. I donʼt recommend using cameras heavier than 9 pounds with this
particular design without strength modications. These plans are in no
way complete, for example: I donʼt show in detail how to mount the elec-
tronics or how to build a mount for a camera - I leave those details up to
the builder (these plans are free and I got tired, what do you expect?).
Be sure to use the Surface Frequency of 75 mhz on your transmitters, re-ceivers, and crystals. Use of Aircraft Frequency (72 mhz) is an FCC vio-
lation and also poses a serious safety hazard if used within a few miles of
others who are using the frequency for aircraft.
Anyway, I hope the information contained within is helpful. If you have
better construction methods than what is explained herein, then by all
means, use them. Get some ideas from these plans and build a better one.If youʼre new to building things, just follow right along and I think youʼll
be happy with the result (I really like mine). Go get all your cinematic
visions realized and make sure to wear those safety goggles. Good luck
building.
