Great one. Any static pics of the lotus? Wheel fitment looks great.

Sorry, but this post does not contain sexy slow shutter speed rig shots.

Just photos of my rig through its build phase and attachment to a boring old astra!

Bit of back ground. Wanted a 4M rig that was easily dismantled and transportable.

Spec.

1 x 4m of 1 1/2" OD 16 SWG Alu Tube (main rig section)
1 x 1m of 1 3/8" OD 16 SWG Alu Tube (split into three to create joiners)
2 x M6 Turnbuckle
2 x 3mm Rope Clamps
1 x 5m of 3mm Wire
1 x Loop on a threaded bolt (not the technial term but can't remember it)

Usual rig stuff afrer that, 2 x Monfrotto Suction Cups, 3 x Super Clamps & 1 x Magic Arm

Joiners filed by hand...took 3hrs in total to effectively remove .7mm off a meter of alu tubing!

Inserted into a larger OD 1.3m section

IMAGE: http://www.will-belcher.co.uk/photos/diyrig/IMG_0568.jpg

The total rig length... 4 meters, test fitting the joiners.

IMAGE: http://www.will-belcher.co.uk/photos/diyrig/IMG_0572.jpg

Drilling pilot holes in preparation for drilling so we can attached bolts to secure the 1.3 sections to a joiner.

IMAGE: http://www.will-belcher.co.uk/photos/diyrig/IMG_0578.jpg

Bolts were a bit long...we would later use wing nuts as bolts are a bit to fiddly when needing to assemble/dis-assemble the separate sections.

IMAGE: http://www.will-belcher.co.uk/photos/diyrig/IMG_0593.jpg

Was going to use PVC tubing but saw this in a local hardware shop, the loop wasn't closed as you can see so had to heat it up and get the lump hammer on the case.

Turn buckle attached with tension wire and rope clamps in place...

Loop closed off.

Test shot, Canon 400D - Sigma 10-20mm @ 10mm - gives a good idea of the shots to come

@willbaroo that's some nice DIY stuff !
What is the weight of your piping incl. couplers and wire?
Does it wobble under driving?

Thanks man, but that stance is pure Photoshop, the car will barely get in and out of my driveway at stock height.

Here's all the static pix you can handle, and then some .

You guys think this was done with a rig? With the curved surfaces of the F1 car would it not make it difficult to get the suction cups and clamps aligned?

this is a rolling shot! Last month's top gear magazine shoot btw.

As someone mentioned already, how do you explain the boom reflection in the helmet visor? Maybe it's the boom from the rolling vehicle?
