DIY Steadycam Vest & Arm, Pg. 6

 Once this is done, assemble the two arms to the Joint assembly, using the same methods used to assemble the Arms previously...NOTICE location of eyelets on inside corners.

Finally, mount the Vest mount where it goes, in a similar fashion to the Joint assembly (only just on one side.)

Using a 5/8” forstner bit, countersink one end of the 7/8" round dowel, so that the bolt head is not exposed. Drill a 5/16” diameter hole all the way through the radius of the dowel. Using the 5” x1/4” bolt, affix the dowel through to end of the Angle bracket, being sure to use washers on each end, and topping off with a Nylon Locknut. This is the "Sled Mount".

Insert eyelets on inside of arms, and bolt in place. Attach spring on one end, and turnbuckle on the other.
