Default RE: homemade prop balancer!

ORIGINAL: opjose

What an excellent way to use those magnets!

I have a bunch that I've pulled out and they are VERY strong, much more so than most commercial balancers.

Thanks for the idea.
I'm throwing a bunch of old PCs out at work and I just went out back and pulled the old 1.2 gig hard drives out of them just to get at the magnets.
I'm cleaning up the design of the stand and will make a bunch for the guys in the club if they want them?
They will have to by the finger balancer themselves.
My original magnets were very weak and if I wasn't careful spinning it the whole prop would fall.
with these magnets they wont let go without a fight...

I'll post a pic of the new design...

Steve
