Canon XH A1 24F / Sony Vegas + Cinescore / Lowell Pro + Tota lights ... blah, blah, blah ... you get the picture. Not much of a plot just mostly goofing around. We did this while we were cooped up during the winter and needed to find something to do inside.

Very funny. And nice work on the running scenes. Any steadicam type devices being used there, or just cradling the camera?

For the running I used the DV MultiRig with the handle bars up, and the cam sitting low in-between. It's a solid configuration when you're not sprinting and running sideways.

Dang. I have the MultiRigPro and I've done that configuration (though not at a live shoot yet) and I've never been too happy with the results. You results are making me reconsider the Glidecam 2000 I was about to buy first thing Monday. I may need to get some more practice on the MultiRig if this kind of shots are possible.

Heh.... I looked at them and if I am going to buy a knock off / imitation steadicam, then it is going to be a well made and expensive knock off. :-)

I'm actually going to buy the Glidecam 4000 & forearm support tonight from B&H (they seem to be the only ones that can get it to me by Thursday).

The Merlin just seems overkill on the price, and I couldn't see the GL2, Beachtec, and Light & softbox being within the weight limit of the device. I weighed them in at 7 pounds.
