(camels on a beach in Abu Dhabi!) SERIOUSLY. I strapped a saddle to a quad runner once to film horses along the Chatahoochie!!!
What makes this seriously disturbing is they will continue to defend this weird train of thinking as if it isn't ridiculously eccentric. This is why film crew isn't invited to red carpet parties. Trying to hard to get attention, they see creativity we see unnecessary spending.
I've always wondered, with these systems - How do you turn? I've used normal segways enough, you turn by moving the handle left or right. But on these systems obviously the handle is removed. Is that what the piece between is legs is for? Do you put pressure on the middle piece with your knees or something?
@Jon124 I think this works like modernised segways. When you lean forward, the machine moves forwards, then you lean left and right and it will move those ways, and then when you lean backwards, it will move backwards. It just makes it more controlable for the operator.
using hands free segway and what looks to be the MK-V AR system haha...only if people knew the great lengths some people go to to get a great shot behind the scenes. i know i'll never go that far ;) lol i'll stick with steadicam on foot thank you very much xD
That's pretty damn cool! For now I've had some great success using a Cam Caddie. My shots are a hell of a lot more smooth these days and it didn't cost much.
