Zeke Kamm, a filmmaker who moved to Bend in 2010, used the crowd-funding website Kickstarter.com to raise $223,192 for the large-scale production of a lightweight camera jib he invented through his company, Nice Industries.
The campaign started last month with a goal of $20,000 and wrapped up Tuesday. People who contributed $299 or more will receive discounted versions of the product.
In 2010, Kamm raised more than $6,000 on Kickstarter for a different product, a clip for lens caps.
Kamm said he plans to manufacture the Aviator Travel Jib in China and receive the first batch in August.
