Step by step guide
Step 1: Print it.
Step 2: Set wires.
- Cut 3 nylon wires at approximately 220cm
- Attach wires on the Centriphone using a simple but solid knot.
Step 3: Balance
- Put your phone in your 3d printed case with the three nylon wires attached.
- Put the Centriphone on the floor.
- lift the top part of the phone with an object of your choice, in order to get your lens pointing at you.
- Put some weight on the Centriphone to make sure it stays in place while adjusting.
- Lift the cables up until they all are straight.
- once the wire are straight hold them together and make a knot at approximately 150cm from the ground.
Step 4: Set length
- The remaining length of wires can be adjusted for your shot framing to be wider/narrower. (Recommended overall length from hand to device is approximately 220cm).
- Attach the extremity of the wires to your handle if you have one.
Step 5: Secure
- Place the rubber band to hold the device and the Olloclip. (for smartphone version only)
Step 6: Adjust camera settings
- For GoPro:
recommended video mode is 720p 120fps. Try the WVGA @240fps for a more fluid result. - For iPhone:
recommended video mode is slowmotion (@240fps). - Make sure to lock the focus on the iPhone by tapping and holding the screen until you see an AE/AF banner appear at the top of the screen.
Step 7: Fly it!
