DIY Shoulder Mount
I've been working on my handheld technique for a while now and just can't seem to get it down, especially with the bulky WD-H72 wide-angle on the front.
I video product videos and installations for a truck accessory retailer and I really want to be able to have movement in the videos. I want it to look professional, like on TV where the host can walk around anywhere and the camera smoothly follows. So I decided to build a shoulder mount. Here's my blog post describing it, along with a sample video I shot using it. http://exposureroom.com/members/Will...orials/post/32 What do you think? Anyone got any suggestions? What have you built? |

I like it. Not so sure about trying to turn around in a crowd though ;)

Do you recommend IS on or off when using the shoulder rig? I know that it's on for handheld and off for tripod work. I think that shoulder is in-between... |

my 2c: keep the weight closer in and lower down, add more shape to the shoulder piece
