Canon 550D with Hague Mini Motion and BMW 1 Series

To test my Hague Mini Motion Steadi Cam i made this short clip with a BMW. I went crazy with the cc and also with optical flares. To take this clip too serious, but i think it shows what is possible with the 550D combined with the Hague Mini Motion.

You've also to take in mind that this combo is very cheap but it offers you the possibilty to shot some nice and steadi footage, which is not possible when filming handheld.

All shots were done in 1920x1080 24 p

Congrats for the vid! But I don't understand... I read on the net, the Hague MMC is only good for camera under 1 kg. And the 550d is more than 1 kg. (mine is 1.8). Even how is it possible, your footage is so smooth? /Congrats again, nice cut also/

@shallowww Thanks for your comment and the compliments. Well i can only use my MMC with the 550d and two of my lenses: The 18-55 Kit Lense and the 50 mm 1.8. No Battery Grip etc. Everything else is way too heavy, so i think your 1.8 Kg is the 550D + additional equipment? Try to use it with the 18-55 Kit Lense and make it wide. This works best!

@gefilmtde I made another measure just before, and you are right. It is 0.8kg, so I have seen wrong :) Sometimes I use Rode videomic as an addition, but I guess for walking or running recordings, it is'nt needed. So all I have to do is to order the MMC with no any additional stuff, and it will work with the 18-55 Kit Lense? /By the way thank you for the information/

@shallowww Yep that will work. It's a try and error path to adjust the MMC right, but once you've got it mark the point with a pen and you're rdy to go the next time. I just it not that often, but it's nice to have this thing and the price is okai. Although right now i would also take a look at the Flycam nano.

quick question here, how do you actually keep the focus right when both of your hand have to be on the mmc? what is the aperture you using? i guess should be above f4?

Do you think the MMC can hack a 550d with a Tamron 17-50 lens?? Anyone?

@gefilmtde Thank you for your help ;)
