January 30, 2012 – 6:48 PM

DIY Camera Rigs and Electronics + the Triggertrap

January 19, 2012 – 6:05 PM

Some very nice examples of do it yourself DSLR camera rigs in this article on FilmakerIQ.com. In particular I liked the LEGO follow focus just because it’s made of LEGOs, and the PVC Snorricam rig (it films your face and the background behind you as you walk around).

Unique and Affordable Camera Dollies

September 6, 2011 – 3:09 PM

Great post today on Unplggd about three very unique and inexpensive camera dollies. All use wheel type systems for stabilization, rather than a track, which offers some interesting possibilities in terms of movement.
