Joaquin Castro Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Hi everyone! I have an upcoming shoot where we need to have a 180° rotation (around the lens axis) It´s a short film with very low budget so expensive options such as Cartoni Lambda Head or Weaver Steadman are not going to be posible We´re shooting on an Arri SRII with Zeiss Primes T1.3 Any thoughts on a low budget solution? Thanks in advance! Joaquin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg MacPherson Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 (edited) Can you find an inventive way to mount your fluid head in line with the lens axis, with a 90 degree bracket to mount the camera. So the head panning gives you what you need. I remember doing this years ago with a gib arm with a head that could rotate to orient the head mount. But almost anything could work. I someone is handy in the metal shop you can make angle brackets out of aluminum easily. Edited October 8, 2018 by Gregg MacPherson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
