post up your settings

I just put duct tape all around the camera and the stabilizer rod parts so it doesn't move and then I have someone wheelchair me around. Very smooth.

You need to pay salary for someone to push you

Why not get that money and put in your own pocket ;-)

But the guy I pay can push me REALLY FAST!! I like it.

Be sure to post your settings to the online cookbook too!

http://www.merlincookbook.com

There is a link at the bottom to alow you to submit your own settings.

Looking at your settings Saturnin, I'd say that your camera is a little more inert compared to the settings in the cookbook - though your rig will also be heavier. Is this the case? Maybe a little description of the "custom"ness of yoru settings :-)

Ronald, Isn't riding with a rig fun!

What parts did you need to duck tape?

The Handsfree leaves a Rickshaw in the dust - at least for "fun" value :)
