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.

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? - Mikko

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