Creative folks at N2Surplus of Roanoke, VA who specialize in selling new and used industrial parts online, shared a couple of cool pictures of their 360 product photography turntable they recently built for their ongoing photography projects.
The result of their creative thinking was this heavy-duty motorized turntable that was made out of recycled and dismantled parts they had available at their own warehouse.
Here is what it is made of:
- Turntable – bottom of a metal umbrella stand
- Box with motor – project / photography box out of a liquidation
- Plate with Casters – tray for a portable pump
- DC Permanent Magnet Motor
- DC Drive
- Speed Controller – off of a conveyor that they dismantled
- Wiring – off of the equipment they dismantled
- Outlet boxes & switches – off of the equipment they dismantled
We hope this example will inspire others to build something similar. These custom-built 360 product photography turntables can be fine-tuned to your exact requirements, not to mention their low cost comparing to specialized professional equipment.
