Made my own camera rig over the weekend. This shot is from my first real try at using it last night. I love the effect of these rig shots.
Anyway, here it is.

But be warned, it's pretty ghetto. I have all of about $45 into it. "I'm like a Slinky - not much good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see me tumble down the stairs" -iKirst

PhotosGuy Cream of the Crop, R.I.P.  More info | Dec 04, 2007 20:50 | #7 I like it. distracting street light ... I tried to get rid of it already but it came out looking pretty hacked up. Select around the top of the car. Invert it & the selection will help control the area affected by the clone tool. FrankC - 20D, RAW, Manual everything...

One last thing. I used a manfrotto pistol grip and I kept it attached to my tripod's mounting post and slid it all into the pipe as one unit. Otherwise you could buy a superclamp and just clamp it to the pipe. Probably the easiest way to attach your camera to the rig. Just a suggestion. Have fun!

Someone else (my wife) moves the car as I'm walking backwards with the camera. I take the shot with my remote cable attached.
