Double camera rig

Just wondering if anyone has used one of these set-ups before...to me it looked cumbersome but apparently he did not.

Please excuse me posting Nikon on here

Shot at the Nike Invitational (UP vs OSU women's soccer game)

I was thinking of more towards sports...that's why I posted in this section

must be in case one breaks down on the job!

was he using a tripod or monopod? A tripod, I could imagine this would be a nice setup. A monopod would be WAY too much work balancing.

So, not counting the two video cameras on the top row, how much money do you think is in that shot?

This was on a monopod.

When he tried to move around the field he had to carry the two cameras on the monopod, a third body with what looked like a 50mm, a hard case for the lenses, and a shoulder bag for his laptop. It was quite hilarious...

I get the concept, but the balancing act when you are using the smaller lens seems almost impossible!

Isn't that setup quite restrictive for the 70-200 shots?

Wouldn't you want the 1.5 crop body on the 70-200?

What if you need to move around????

I shoot Football with a monopod mounted 300, and a rs strap with a 70-200.

I let the monopod "slide" into my right shoulder when using the shoulder mounted camera. I find after a while I really do it instinctively. And I run up and down the field with no issue.

I need to have myself photoed when doing this...

So you shoot like almost everyone else basically. The best is having a wide on your other shoulder and getting all three bodies involved in the fun.

Pretty Much, but jockeying 2 monos is not my idea of fun!

That is a double headed rig on one mono from the looks of it
