My homemade rig for my Canon 1D Mark IV
04/03/10 20:23 Filed in: Technical stuff
I finished today my homemade camera rig - yeeessss!
Made from standard parts found in a bike shop and at the metal store. I’ve got the shoulder pad and the small rail (for holding a 7” TFT) from a very old video camera. The design is easy and straight forward. It allows me to add several parts to the hand grips like a RODE Mic and a Zoom H4 audio recorder. At the end of the shoulder mount I will fix a rechargeable battery that acts as a counter balance and that will power the 7” TFT.
This design can of course also be used with the Canon 5D Mark II, 7D or 500D that have the movie function integrated. Feel free to use this design.
If you have any questions let me know.

Nightshooting in Schondorf

This time I went at 2.00 a.m. to “Schondorf am Ammersee” and found this very nice playground. It was bloody cold outside but it was worth the pic! With a simple flashlight I’ve painted the ship with light. Combine that with a long exposure of approx. 30sec and you get this very nice atmosphere.
