How to Free Mount a 5 Foot Giraffe Unicycle

[DarthElevator]

Thanks for the video. I'm going to give this method a try.

You make it look so easy!

If you're going to continue to make videos invest in a wireless lav with windscreen and don't use the auto iris on the camera. The changing F stops is a bit distracting. Thanks for providing this information on unicycling.

I apologize for the video and sound quality. I will use better equipment from now on.

[BurningtunaDC]

@marksvideotips No need to apologize. I am not the greatest shooter in the world but a good part of my knowledge has come from other more experienced shooters saying "mind if I make a suggestion?..."  A good wireless lav starts at $600 but the auto iris doesn't cost anything to fix. Find an F stop that looks good and then lock it in. Trust me, I have made the same mistakes. Every shoot we do we all learn something new. Best of luck.

do you have to go into an idol or can u just keep going plz respond

Hi 933me,

I suppose you wouldn't have to go into an idle but that's the only way I can do it.

Nice Mark, thanks for the tips; I will try this...it sure beats my "stand on the bumper of the Suburban and hold the roof rack" mount...plus it is easier to say.

Hi Mark after not riding my Schwinn giraffe for almost 25 years I finally got on it the other day. I have not tried this mount in fact never heard of it so I will try thanks! very helpful!

[MMBpictures]

Thanks a bunch but sadly i cant actually afford a 5 foot unicycle... do you recommend a cheap place to buy one?

[marksvideotips]

Hi MMBpictures,

I'm glad my video was helpful.

I buy all of my unicycles off of eBay. That's the cheapest place I know of to get them.

You can currently (April 30, 2009) buy a Torker Unistar TX 20" 5 Foot Giraffe Unicycle from "bikestuffguy" for $139 - free shipping.
