This is my cable cam set up. Two pulleys I bought from bunnings for about $7 each. There is no bearing, they are just a wheel spinning on a pin but they spin fast. The pins are removable which makes it easy to mount it on the line. I bolted them to two pieces of alupanel stuck together to make stiffer. Then I use the Go Pro suction cup mount to hang it off the bottom at whatever angle I need. The cable is actually thin nylon rope that I "borrowed". All up it cost me about $20.I figured. It always suprised me when using wide angle just how far away things look, and I'd often be too far away until I checked the viewfinder. It'll come with practice, and I look forward to the results.
Yep. The cable cam just uses it's own weight to move. It rolls pretty quick. I have to use an old towel wrapped around the end of the line to protect the trees and the rig itself. Without the towel slowing it down, it would be destroyed in a couple of runs. I have a small rig with smaller wheels but it moves to slow in fast sections and can't keep up. The bigger the wheels, the faster it goes.
