Trick - DIYCableCam

With nothing but a toilet paper roll and and some fishing line, you can turn your ONE R into a cable cam and show off your telekinetic powers.

Prepare these props:

ONE R (360 build) + fishing line or rope + 1 toilet paper roll + 1/4” Camera Mount Adapter

Step 1: The Prep

Use scissors to poke a small hole in the toilet paper roll.

Install the 1/4 Camera Mount Adapter and mount the ONE R.

Use fishing line to pass through the roll.

Step 2: The Shot

Select "4K / 50" recording mode, and press the shutter button to begin recording.

One person should hold and tighten the fishing line.

The other person should hold and tighten the other end of the fishing line, standing at a higher place.

Lightly let go of the camera.

When the camera comes closer, make a "grab and release" action with your hand.

Step 4: The Edit

Adjust the aspect ratio.

Tap "Edit". Select "Trim". Drag and tap the icon to select an endpoint on the timeline.

Swipe the screen to put yourself in center-frame and then tap the yellow "+" icon to add a keyframe.

Tap "Edit", select "Speed", select "1 / 2X" or “1/4X”. Then, select the start and end speed of the video.

In the middle of the video, select "2X" or “4X” to adjust the speed.

Export your clip, import it into a third party editing app, and then reverse it.

Go to "Stories", tap "My Stories", then tap “Create a Story” and add the two clips.

Copy the two clips, then long press and drag to adjust the order.

Save and export the video. Add the tag #DIYCableCam and share to the community.

Tips:

(1)The fishing line is relatively sharp,so we recommend wearing gloves while tightening it.

(2) Try calibrating the gyro if you’re experiencing abnormal rotations or shakes while shooting.

Here’s how to calibrate the gyro.
