Standing Frame

Inspired by a podcast from Chase Jarvis I drew the same platform he has built and used in shoots. It would be quite heavy so I guess it’s not for a one-man band.

The one-inch-thick plexiglass gives it strength for someone to stand on. The thin plexiglas makes sure the person standing on it doesn’t damage the larger and more expensive piece.

The screw-like struts allow it to be raised or lowered as needed.

Matte black core-flute ensures you don’t get too much reflection from the ground onto the bottom of the plexiglas. A hole is cut in the core-flute to shoot through.

Of course it will cost around $2,000 to make.
