I need low low budget advice on making ALOT of different camera rigs for cars. My new feature has many car shots inside and out, and i need a good variety.

Thanks in advance.
 
Thaz a nite webby :thumbup: Anyone tested it? Additional straps to hook onto the bonnet would be nice.. thaz would be a simple mod for a reasonable priced, piece of equipment.
 
thats frickin sweet and dont ya know i just happen to be in colorado at the moment.

ps the indie film industry is rather large out here to my surprise.


i think i will pay this guy a visit and pick up a sticky pod if it seems stable enough with the dvx, the cameras in the vids were small, so we'll see and i will post my findings soon

peace:thumbup:
 
i've heard only good things about stickypod, do a search for it, im sure a lot would come up
 
I got one and it works great. I MEAN GREAT! Get a Cadillac if you dont want shacky footage. LOL. Yeah I never had a problem in the caddy but some cars get a bit bumpy, just stabalize it in post!
 
That's kind of a scary thought! The little sticky pod holding a $6000 camera. Somebody try it and let me know how it goes...
 
I'd do it with a tie-down strap and two other points of support.

But not without.

im making one from a suction cup mount i got from www.harborfreight.com i have the 4 suction mount but the two suction mount with the flexible arm would be better.

also another one im going to make will be over to go over the cars. like a 10ft long 2x4 with handle grips on each end with a camera mount on top. two man operation, but it can give cool results.
 
Here is the rig that I made using suction cups from Harbor Freight:

The rope and the strap are for safety. I know it would hold just fine, but I'm a little paranoid when it comes to expensive toys. I already had the tripod head, so I only spent about $30 altogether.

thats awesome! thats exactly what im making!! its difficult with those specific suctions though, because you really gotta use a flat surface because they are really picky what they adhere to.
