The Official Weight Cage thread

[Charles King]

Thought would be nice to post some weight cages for those not aware of what they are or just would like to see how some are designed. There are several variations but all do pretty much the same thing...Add Weight.

Hey Charles! Weight cam - what a splendid idea! 

[Charles King]

Another Cage added:

[Vladimir Korshunov]

Small one.

[Charles King]

Here is a cage design for those interested in designing one. If not it cost $395 at Witehouse for those interested

[Charles King]

Vladimir, is that a commercial low-mode bracket or did you build it yourself?

[Charles King]

Here is a video low mode bracket for video. Cost $325 at Whithouse if you are not interested in building one.

[Vladimir Korshunov]

Vladimir, is that a commercial low-mode bracket or did you build it yourself?

Charles, i made it myself.

[Charles King]

Nicely done.

[Charles King]

Another design thought. Again, if you're not interested in building, then you can get it from Baerbel for $564.

...if you're not interested in building, then you can get it from Baerbel for $564.
Love your didaction!

[Charles King]

Ha Ha...I guess that can work as well.

[Vladimir Korshunov]

I took couple of old stand-lamp weights, grinded out sides...   
...4 tubes from the same stand,1 door handle,  and 4 threaded bars with nuts finished the weight cage project.

Now my tiny HD palm cam acts like a big brother.   Price = 10-15 USD  + job time.

[Charles King]

now that is very creative Vladimir. You never seize to amaze me. I hope you did not take those lamps from your home. Otherwise the wife...

Here is a practice weight camera type from MK-v. Cost around £7-£800:

[Vladimir Korshunov]

Wish i spend this sum for real camera (mine is under 200 euro, stands are from trash can).
So. if derangement visited me and i bought it, the first thing i did after the treatment is committed suicide (before Julia executed me)
