Is there a preference in attaching camera? Magic Arm or mini ball head? Seems like the Magic Arm is heavy by comparison to a mini ball head and weight being a contributor to bounce.

Practice shot in the driveway with my StE823 cable tension modification - six second exp:

Nice shots mate, I like them.

I am currently building a rig myself and am thinking to go the ball head route as its lighter and easier for me.


Eh! ça va la vache?

I have been running an under carriage for a long time, but I needed something a little quicker to setup for shoots with less budget:
