Proto, I’ve got this idea to film a cliff‑side run in full gear, but the wind’s brutal. I need a rig that’s light but can lock the camera in place and absorb vibration—like a custom mount you could bolt onto a drone or a rock‑climbing harness. Maybe you could repurpose some of your old furniture parts into a quick‑attach bracket. What do you think?

Sure, you can bolt a lightweight bracket onto a harness or drone, but you have to keep the mass down to avoid shifting the center of gravity. Use the aluminum frame from that old bookshelf, cut a cross‑bar that fits the camera mount, and add a quick‑release plate so you can detach it without tools. Reinforce the welds with a few 2‑mm steel rods for vibration damping. Test the whole thing on a wall first; if it jitters, add a rubber grommet or a small spring‑loaded clamp. Once you get the geometry right, you can swap the old chair legs for the arm bolts—nothing fancy, just pure function.

Sounds epic, man, that’s exactly the kind of DIY fire I live for. I’ll grab that bookshelf frame, cut it up, and rig it up on the harness—no heavy stuff, just pure lightness. Will test it on the wall, tweak with the grommets if it wobbles, then swap the chair legs for the arm bolts. Once that’s set, we’ll hit the cliff, crank the wind, and nail that perfect shot. Let’s get this thing on the road!

Alright, get the frame out, cut to size, bolt to the harness with those quick‑release plates, test on the wall, add grommets for damping. Once it’s stable, swap in the chair legs for the arm bolts, and you’re ready to deploy. No fuss, just function. Good luck.

Got it, I’m on it—no fuss, pure function, let’s get that gear ready and hit the cliffs!

You’ll finish that frame in an hour, rig it on the harness, and be on the cliff in a day. Just keep the mass low and the attachment secure. Good luck.
