In this episode, we dive into the expensive, or, at the least, tedious realm of camera stabilization equipment. This ranges from the all-powerful, all-knowing fluid tripod head, to the much used and often abused dolly. We don't own and operate an actual Steadicam or a jib or a crane, but hey, we'll mention them, too.We'll cover: * Track dolly, Fluid tripod head, Homemade Fig Rig, Car mount, ZoomingTo compliment this episode, we're making a very short film that will employ as much of the above equipment as possible. We should hopefully be able to post it on Friday.We've also opened a forum over on our homepage at: http://www.takezer0.com/forum come and check it out!

Paintedsheep Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - Not bad...looks a little flimsy and just a touch of camera shake. Way too much work to build as well...If you want a super solid/stable dolly at a low cost check out the paintedsheep dolly here on youtube...

Jul 7, 2008 - my only problem is choosing i cant find a way to get pro for under 500 ... is there a cheaper one?

esotericsean Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - I'm pretty sure they used to offer it separately, but I don't think they do anymore. Go with the Platinum version.

redtail5 Says:

Jul 7, 2008 - thank you so much for your help i think im getting platinum but i might be able to get a discount at ucsf on pro but if not platinum it is!

redtail5 Says:
