I just got a rig, tried it the the first time last Sunday.
I used three poles on these pics, still afraid putting another pole extension even though I definitely need more length :D
It was windy even inside the parking garage.
I'll buy CF tubes if I can find where to buy them.
Planning to do another shoot this weekend, outdoor this time.

Any comments & suggestions are welcome!

Nice!! So the pole is attached to the car like in first pic and than you just edited to remove the suction cups and what ever else was visible in pic?

Might want to police your camera strap so it doesn't accidentally snag on something.

Yes, editing can be PITA though, among those three pics, the first one was the hardest, I can make it cleaner if I spent more time.

That's why next shoot will be outdoor, I'd figure cloning the sky would be easier :)

Having the sky or trees as the bg makes editing a tons easier

Very nice ronnie, saw these on FB. I'm looking forward to the fu shoot outside. Clouds/trees are definitely easier to match when cloning out the pole.

I think it looks pretty good! Would you mind posting more details about the rig setup?

These are AMAZING! How heavy are those poles? Looks like they'd be too weighty for the suction caps?

What are you using to join the poles together?

Nice first few shots.......I look forward to seeing more. I'm only on my fourth time using my rig. It becomes much more fun when you get more comfortable in trusting the rig.
