It's better than Christmas here in Austin. The other day an Advanta Lite came to live at my little corner of the world. (I am really going to have to get a bigger place)
I removed the fluid head from the tripod I use and fashioned a block to mount the fulcrum to. It is rock solid and cost $0.00.
The DVX at ten feet of extension requires 50lbs to counter balance. A fully loaded HVX with RRmicro and lenses requires about 15 to 20 lbs more. I added sleeves for the pan control cables to run through and reversed the handle (feels more intuitive to me) as well as shortening it. All this mounts quite nicely on a Rowe dolly. The shots look fantastic and the learning curve is straight up. Just turn off your brain and let your eyes and you arm make the shots.
And I thought the three wheel trackless dolly I made was fun.:happy:
Bring on the questions.
