Check out this gadget I made...

I think this is an excellent idea. Having a wide field of view would be preferable for me as well. I would love to see this idea executed with a studio photo shoot. It would give some insight as to what exactly the photographer is thinking as he/she is looking through the lens.

i am rendering another video i made...it's just in my back yard so it's nothing exciting but I was mainly working on the sync between cameras and transitions in the video. i will post it up when it's uploaded

i think this one is definitely a lot better and if i can just get a way to steady the video it will work out well

here's the 2nd test video. keep in mind it's not about the boring subject matter but me getting the video and image to sync right and working on my video editing and transition skills. I think this one is a lot better and shows what I have in mind for when I do it on vehicles at car shows. I just need to get a little steadier with the video and I'll be set.

I got a different camera and a wider lens setup. I know it's not expensive equipment but I'm not going for production quality either. Here's a couple of pics of the setup with the $14 steadycam I made:

That 'steady-cam' job looks great -one question though. How well can you hold and shot the SLR with all that attached?

i have a wired remote that i hold in one hand while gripping the contraption

i haven't really had a chance to mess with it much anymore though

Just get 2 5D MK II's

It reminds me of the Camera Phone on Flight of the Conchords...

never seen that i don't guess

Lol, they basically super glued a 35mm camera to a cell phone because they were upset they didn't have a camera phone.
