Hope you didn't pay for it, or you're going to be one unhappy camper. Scratch that, even if you did pay for it, you're going to be an unhappy camper lol.

I tried the demo, but simply couldn't afford the full version. I only got to use it for a couple of days before the demo ran out. Would you mind expanding on your opinion? I'd be interested in hearing more.


I have a ton of gear, but my gear is just a hammer.

I agree with you but is the closest I can get to a RIG now. I'm saving some money for the parts to build it soon. :D

Basically, it's not all it's cracked up to be. To get the wheels right, you must jack the front of the car up, spin the wheel, and do an exposure, and the same for the rear. Then you have to shoot the background plate, and when you add the car, add the shadow and make it look correct. Beyond that, it simply doesn't make much sense, and here's why. VRS is really great for those shots that AREN'T possible with a real rig, problem is, when you do those shots, the physics NEVER works (for those that look even half close), so it simply doesn't work. For normal people, sure they will oooh and ahhh all over it, but for photographer's, it's just not all there yet. Give it a few years...

Been out practising again. Still unsure if my boom bounces too much. I might have too much weight on the end of it perhaps.

Here is the latest attempt...
