Inspire us to either film it or do it... I wouldn't mind doing both but maybe not as extreme in the former case
pookie - Do you know what kind of rig they use for filming skiing/boarding when they track along with the rider? Is it a some form of Steadicam setup?
Every time I've done ride tracking, I've just held it about waist height like a suitcase and eyeballed the LCD, and it comes out really steady. I've seen some guys put a tripod on the camera, close the legs up, hold it right under the apex, and use that as a kind of counterweight; that works really well too. Never really seen any kind of official rig for it, since most people who make those videos aren't inductry professionals... Plus, on the slopes, you actually get less motion transfer with it suspended away from your body rather than attached.
That was sic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MSP also makes some Kick ass bike video, the New World DisOrder series is pretty cool, but you guys should check this vid out. Called The Collective, unbelievable film!!!
