Members,

I hope this is in the right section of the forum.

We are in need of suggestions for shooting equipment (camera, mount, etc) as well as
post-production techniques to get a quality shot of these LED roadway lights at night.

Here's a IPhone video to give you an idea of what we are shooting. (FFWD to 0:27)

The goal is to get a jitter-free shot that remains in focus (obviously IPhone is
doing its own auto-focusing here)

Thanks in advance for your tips and advice!

Depending on the size and weight of the camera, you could use a single vacuum-cup mount, or a more elaborate one like this: Filmtools® Four Leg Full-Sized Camera Mount - Filmtools (http://www.filmtools.com/filmtools-4-leg-suction-cup-camera-mount.html)

I would also put the camera in manual focus, up the ISO to 1000 at least (depending on the sensor) and use an off-camera monitor to view the shots.

You could look at the GoPro Hero 3. It is small and light weight, and has better low light capability than the earlier GoPros, and there is a stack of mounting options for them. The most expensive 'Black' version will record 1080p at 60fps which could help smooth things down on a 30fps timeline.

Suction Cup Camera Mount - Strong Enough for up to 200 MPH Wind (http://gopro.com/camera-mounts/suction-cup-mount/)

Please note I have zero experience with any GoPro cameras.

Best bet would be one of the Sony handycams with the "magic eyeball"... (they call is "BOSS" I think, and new cheaper models just announced). The entire lens block is gyro stabilized (like a missle tracking system!), not going to get much more stable than that, it will get you a good image, and then the mount just needs to keep the camera in place - plenty of suction cup or clamp mounts out there.
