Strange Home Made Rigs

[sunshine51]

I have seen some strange home made camera rigs in the past and

have made a few myself; usually hasty tripods or a plumbcam kinda

contraption for shooting at very low angles while upright & moving.

Then the SteadiCam arrived & my hopes of PlumbCam fame were

instantly dashed. Then came my version of CritterCam and after

the first one was attached to a stray dog I knew pretty well and he

ran off...well maybe he still has that contraption attached to him.

That stuff was a long time ago....but this is current...very current.

An old bike riding helmet, some counterbalance weights, some

cheap hardware store stuff and.....

One I found yesterday was triggering multiple cameras with a guitar pedal.
