Meant for nearly all shots mate (upside down).

I don't have a lens that goes wide enough to even start on a rig so that will come first...after many other things. :pmsl:

Gottcha.

You can laugh at all the testing I have to go through to get some half decent shots, then pwn my idea and fire off good shots straight away when you try it. As normal.

Had a quick test before as it was going dark, it's rough as toast and the cars filthy, but I was itching to try it.

Only thing i've realised so far is that it's a proper cunt to get in place etc, the suction pads when connected to the bar dont like sticking properly, especially on slightly curved surfaces...which is pritty much all cars.

It's steady though, and secure. Pole could do with being a bit longer though, might have to re-think it and make a few mods.

Not too bad that, but needs either a wider lens or longer pole.

Allthough even at 10mm I dont think it'd be enough tbh, not for that rig.

I think i'm gunna have to re-think it and come up with V.2, maybe with different suction cups and a longer length of pole.

It's a bit of a catch 22, the pole's long enough in a way, but you cant get the suction handles right on the edge of the car bonnet/window/roof etc due to it being curved, so you have to place it further in, hense loosing the hang over on the pole.

Dude I'm buying a sigma 10-20 or what ever it is soon... we can use that

Definarrrtttly

Think im gunna source a longer pole aswell though, just to be sure.

Use a decorators pole, there extendable?

by LM » Thu Feb 19, 2009 7:05 pm

It's an idea, and has been used many times before, only problem is that with extendable poles, you get lots of vibration and movement.

Id say for the price its worth a quick shot
