If any of you watched 'In This World', directed by Michael Winterbottom and D.O.P'd by Marcel Zyskind, do you have any idea of the camera grips they used for their PD150's. It seems very stable with the 2 hand grips and i've been trying to find them but in vain. I am starting to gear up for a documentary shoot and would very much like to have those same grips.
What camera grip was used?

Here is a link to another site where the DP Marcel Zyskind talks about his PD-150 setup.

To me it sort of looks like two old flash grips for medium format cameras. You can probably find these on ebay, look for a Metz flash grip or something.
The functionality of it could be duplicated by the new Fig Rig from Bogen, which I have used myself and can tell you is not a piece of junk at all. It works very well by allowing you to use both hands and by placing them farther away from the center, reducing the hand held shake dramatically.
Because your hands are farther away from the center, you might want to get a zoom controller.
Hope this helps,
