my DIY Fig Rig

easy to build but powerful for more stabilized hand-held like shots.

Nice rig. Can you use it and do something like rack focus ? Maybe use one of the new remote FF that came out.

very cool. Is there a list somewhere of the parts you used?

I have somethign similar that was called a Bi-Plane on a shoot I was involved with last yeat. It was 2 x 18 inch planks of wood , with a couple of thick dowels betwwn them holding them up. The camera was mounted in the center. Got some incredible shots from it.

Very clean shots from the beta test, can't wait to see it with the ramping controls. Talk about a stock-shooters dream toy. Have fun with it and keep the updates coming!

Here is a rig I built because it was fun and I wanted to see if I could make it real cool and functional for under 100 bucks.. - and it worked:

@mikesafilmer
thanks, got the ramping controls but still too jittery have to play around with the values.

@vadervideo
your fig rig looks really cool, like the original one from manfrotto.

Yeah - I figured - not bad for a bicycle wheel eh? ;)

Those are all cool, I think I personally would like something more like vaders
