Video shooting aid with IR transmitters (Shoot'nGoRig)

[Tech-nick]

I Created this to have control to my model while making a video. Simple and very "handy". Its ugly, but does the job.

Handles give a good grip to nose heavy rig.

While shooting, you can place the rig on the table, if you need your hands to demonstrate model features.

You can adjust the angle of the rig or the camera (or this case the phone) by putting beams (grey ones) to different locations.

Hope any one finds this helpful.

Clever idea! I always have trouble holding my camera while trying to use a remote. I usually just use a tripod though.

Thanks, I tough this was clever too. Well, tripod would be much easier, but I wanted more motion to my video. For example if you need to follow the model while moving on bigger area, you are still able to keep the camera close to the model. But different methods to different needs. This is just one method.

Best way would be to have your own cameraman tho.

As posted on other topic already, here is demonstration to using the rig.

I thought this is really best for OMO. I did the same during my video filming for a crawler competition. I'm using the clamping technique with Technic, Axle Connector Double Flexible (Rubber) to hold and smoothen the grip on the camera and incorporate with a single controller.
