DVRig Pro....Good?

[Taylor Moore]

I am looking at getting a DVrig Pro for a specific shoot coming up.
I wanted to know if people are happy with it and the footage from it, and what its limitations are....is it stable for walking, etc.

I am shooting a fashion show coming up and doing lots of run and gun...would this be the trick?

Thanx

As long as you don't gun ON the run - you'll be fine. Walking - you need to be smoooooth - the results are like filming with a big shoulder-mount cam - a gentle, stable cinema-verite wobble but in a good way. Make sure you set some time aside to practise before the shoot then you won't be disappointed. Apart from that - you'll look the biz and you'll be able to shoot all day.

For me the DVRIGPRO is the best "compromise". In the good sense of this term.

The best set up is a shoulder camera, a heavy tripod, a true
full size Steadicam and an assistant...

With the DVRIGPRO and the DVX-100 I can shoot continually for unlimited time, No fatique. I can hold a steady shoot, Almost like tripod. I can change shooting angles and camera positions very fast and as much as I want. Walking shoots are not steadicam like but shoulder camera like, Which is what I need. Learning curve, Very short and the rig is intuitive and simple.

Added benefits, very useful for low angle shoots and waist shoots.
