Shot this in the summer, just never got around to posting:


All shot on the AF100 except for the 2nd interview angles and a couple shots. Used the pocket dolly which was nice, but I think the AF100 would work better with something bigger.
 
Thank you. Used the Lumix 14-140, 20mm Pancake and a Minolta 50mm 1.7. The light kit was simple, with a Cool lights LED 600, 256 and a 200 watt LTM pepper and simple reflector. We tried to use natural light when possible for the backgrounds and beauty shots. Most of the light coming in that chapel is very nice which helped. There are some shots that I don't like so much, but overall it worked.
 
Very nice.

Why do you feel something larger than the Pocket Dolly would have been a better choice?
 
I use the AF100 on a Pocket Dolly 2 in a stripped down configuration.
I really wish I had gotten the Cine Slider, as the AF100 decked out on a full size head is too heavy for the Pocket Dolly.

Well, I think I had a couple issues. I had the wrong tripod head first, so it wouldn't mount flush to the slider which caused a bit of wobble sometimes. But the camera was just a bit too heavy. When sliding it was just really hard to get a smooth motion without any movement of the whole slider. I was renting this slider, so it's possible the slider belt was a little bit stiff.
 
Looks great!

I use a slidekamera slider with my AF and since it's a heavy duty slider it works great even with a full AF kitted rig. Maybe the pocketdolly is best used with smaller cameras or just the AF+lens.
