I was filming at the "Big Dig" and got some footage while riding a Cat D8. I put a short clip on YouTube. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1X2Gulxqvo&list=UUPd3CKbNw9tFV1OEeOImxdQ Or just search "Cat D8 Ride". I grew up riding on this kind of equipment, but it's been a long time since I have been on one. I forgot how much you get shaken. Watch the operator at the beginning of the video. See how much he and the machine shake. I got up on the dozer and was standing where the shovel is. I held on to the fuel cap with one hand and filmed with the other using my shoulder mount. The ride was so rough I couldn't hold the eye piece to my eye. Every time he stopped I had to take a step to keep from falling off. The last shot I held the camera with one hand and the LCD screen open trying to get a smoother shot. When I got home I was VERY surprised at the smoothness of the shot. I think it's pretty good evidence of the image stability the camera provides.
