Keeping it steady.

[deanl]

Hey there.

Any tips for keeping the camera steady when shooting on a bus. I own a good tripod but thats it. I dont mind a little movement (after all it is a buss) But I dont wanna be feeling sea sick when It comes to editing.

Despin out.

Use a Glidecam or something similar. Otherwise put your camera on a tripod. Hold the tripod by the handle at arms length and shoot like that.

Use a wide angle lens (or zoom out fully). The wider the viewing angle, the less prone the image is to shaking.

PS: I have a glidecam for my ACL and it rocks (figuratively, not literally)

Hey there.

Cheers sdchown but Glidecams are a little out of my price range at the moment. Ill see what I can do with the tripod and a steady hand.

Oh and yet another great peice of advice from Thousanth.

I think fucking not.

bend your knees, act as the shock absorber for your camera. don't be rigid. do a test shot first.

Hey there.

What was that Thousanth I didnt quite catch it the third time.

The last thing I am is hostile. I just find all these people who post a reply for the sake of a posting a reply a little anoying. You see that there is a new post and think you have an answer to a question or some usefull advice and all you get is a bunch of guys/girls trying too out cool and out wit each other. Dont get me wrong Im sure Ive done it myself.

But then again Im all for double standard.

Despin out.

I thought I'd post it three times just for the sake of repitetion.
I don't post a relpy on every one, just the ones that intrest me.
