He started off with a beard, then it vanished by the end of the video. Explanation?

[MediaUnlocked]

@MrSuperLazer It was shot on different days

what would happen if you were to use no glue or whatever its called, would it fall apart while your using it? like say your longboarding a high speed, possibilities of a part falling off?

Also, instead of glue, could you just wrap the whole thing in hockey tape?

@ActiveOps I glue all the pieces I dont want to worried about it falling apart during a shoot

[RoadWornGuitarist]

Awesome video guys! I used your video to build two of my own fig rigs. Did you manage to figure out how to mount shotgun mics, or even perhaps a 7" monitor? Thanks for all you do guys~

@RoadWornGuitarist We never got around to that sorry

[AmazingFilmsStudio]

@RoadWornGuitarist Hey what I did was glue all the other pieces besides the top 6in pvc and two 45 degree angle you glue those together but you don't glue that piece to the main body so you can attach and detach it simply.

[RGmp3rr98]

when you use the rig fig do you grab it with force or grab it loose?

[MediaUnlocked]

@RGmp3rr98 A little of both

[RGmp3rr98]

the camera sat too high at the end and it looked far from  stable...very prone to wobble from what I could see.

[MediaUnlocked]

@arfurlife It seems to work ok

[FXIllusion13]

whats the size of each piece of pvc

[MediaUnlocked]

@FXIllusion13 What do you mean. If you watch the hole video we go over what size you have to cut each piece into

cool, great vid guys!

Some quick tips on setup and usage:

1. A Giottos MH631 QR system can be gotten for under $40 on ebay, this will allow you to balance the camera forwards and backwards.

2. A macro slider will allow left/right balancing.

3. Have the camera sitting lower than you did in the video, the weight should be centered if possible.

I find I get the best results with this kind of setup when I do camera moves using my whole upper body rather than my arms. comes out smoother. :)
