Confused from Berkshire | I checked on multimap.com and it is officially a long way. If I wer at home with too much time on my hands I'd fake a graphic. I'm not so I can't and therefore won't. Trust me, it's a long way.

Right. I've got this steadycam nonsense sorted inmy mind now. I;ve thoguht it through and the mistake I made was assumign the significant movement were vertical, but it's all about dampening rotation isn't it? 
As for Tipperaray being along way away. Distance is propertional to how bad the weather is. I've noticed that if it's warm and sunny then my car always seesm to be 'just over there'. If it's precipitating profusely then it suddenly becomes 'all the way over there'.
It's the UK, it's always raining, ergo, it's a long way away.

And....
...I've got nothing better to do for the first part of this evening so I'm off the the local DIY shop to see about sources some of these bits.
It's getting a bolt that will fit the mounting screww on the bottom of the camera that might be the hard part. I'll let you all know what I find.
And as for building two. No problem, but I'm not paying postage on sending iron bars through the post 
Unless you're a Berk then I'm just down the road a little ways (unless it's raining, then I'm bloody miles away )

I went to 3 (yes three) DIY shops tonight and not one of them had the parts mentioned. Ok, you can buy metal tubing but not the sort described. No big deal, use copper piping. Cool.
Bigest problem is as I suspected. I could not locate a single bolt that had the same thread as a tripod mount. So we could build the thing if we want but it doesn't look like we'll be putting any cameras on it
Back to the drawing board.

A quick look on google suggest the screw size is 1/4 inch diameter by 20 threads per inch.
