stop shaking! or shake a lot! take 2

So i did it! 
Instead of £250 i paid 18 for my fig rig, but i prefer to call it pipe rig, as i build it from PVC pipes and connections that i found in my local DIY store. It was pretty easy and I'm sure that i will be using it in the future! Magic that works!
Still need to tune it up a bit, for example make a bag for it, or just paint it, but the idea itself came to life! Here is a little glimpse of my pipe rig!









Also, i took a little twist on the pipe rig, in fact i tried to give it a bit more functions; 
1. the parts are easy to assemble so they are easy to remove also, by changing the top and bottom "curved" pieces and adding straight bars i wanted to create a stabilizer that would allow one to take pictures from a knee high, as you yourself holding it in front of you, or with a friend, holding it from each side can easy walk or run and take realistic footage of first person view without too much of a trouble. this also allow one to shoot a running sequence. unfortunately, don't have a picture of two people holding the device, but it does work!





 






2. by removing only the bottom "curve" you can grab the top and lower the camera even more to create stable footage very close to the ground.








firs taste of pipe rig.


the movie is quite simple.It's because i just wanted to show you how stable the picture is while using the rig.

  1. Really interesting! Can we see some films you have made with this on Tuesday? It would also be good to see films of you using the device in the site... look forward to it! Pete
