TUTORIAL: DIY Wooden Handgrips / Kinogrips
Wooden handgrips or kinogrips are becoming more and more popular. I’ve had my DIY wooden grips for a couple years now and I get compliments on them constantly when I’m out on shoots - but besides being a conversation starter they’re ergonomic, practical, durable, can be used on a variety of camera rigs - and they're easy to make! Most of the time wooden handgrips or kinogrips retail for nearly $100 or more, but today, we’ll be making our very own for around $12 per grip. In the video I'll cover how to make traditional handgrips as well as some of the really cool spherical ones.
