At first I tried to make a do-it-yourself steering wheel setup project with mixed results, but between materials and tools I spent over $50 putting it together and it was no comparison to this less expensive setup for the camera. I'm very happy with this rig - I use mine with a Canon M5 plus 35mm 1.4 lens and buy a separate hand to hold the mic and video monitor. This is a great beginner/cage setup for those who want it but aren't a professional videographer.
