Bau eines Kamera-Rigs auf der Rückseite eines Pickups für Steadicam-Aufnahmen während der Fahrzeugbewegung
13 Jahre alt. Geräte und Preise können sich seitdem geändert haben.
Was die Diskussion ergab
- Ein schwerer Holzbalken wie 2x12 Holz, 6-8 Fuß lang, kann über das Pickup-Bett gelegt und mit Sandsäcken gesichert werden, dann mit einer High-Hat-Halterung gekrönt, um ein Steadicam-Rig von der hinteren Stoßstange fernzuhalten.
- Unter dem Befestigungspunkt platziertes Sperrholz verhindert, dass sich das Rigg während des Schießens verschiebt.
- A short offset arm extending from the high-hat keeps the camera rig away from the vehicle body.
- Operator safety requires wearing a harness or belt to prevent being thrown from the vehicle during sudden acceleration or braking.
- Selecting an experienced driver minimizes dangerous maneuvers that could destabilize the rig or throw the operator.
- A van with the wooden beam run out the back door and wedged under the middle rows of seats using apple boxes, then secured with ratchet straps, provides a stable platform.
- Metal lighting stand extensions can be used as a temporary mockup: a horizontal piece clamped to the chassis and a vertical piece mounted to the tow-bar with hose clamps, providing body support during acceleration and braking.
- Temporary rigs using lightweight clamps should be backed up with steel safety cables as a failsafe in case the clamps fail under stress.
- For permanent vehicle rigs, 2-inch scaffolding pipe with Cheesborough clamps provides safer load-bearing capacity than lighter clamps like Mafer clamps.
Hängt ab von
- The wooden beam method is tested and practical but requires good weight distribution and sandbag availability on set.
- Temporary mockup rigs using lighting stands and hose clamps are proof-of-concept only and should not be used for extended work without professional reinforcement.
- Lightweight clamps are unsuitable for the dynamic stresses of vehicle-mounted camera work and can fail unpredictably.
- No final consensus on best practices for improvised rigs in remote locations emerged from the discussion.
