Bryce Fortner Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hello All, I'll be shooting a short film in a couple weeks that takes place entirely on a bicycle. Production has built a platform that both the bike and the camera will be mounted to (we'll be shooting on the RED). We did a test and the platform is a little shaky. They are working on stabilizing the rig, but I was wondering if any of you knew of a tripod head that would act as an additional stabilizer to help with this... I've read a little bit about the Gyro Stabilizer and CCI's anti-vibration head, but don't know anyone that has experience with either of these. Steadicam is an option for us, but I was hoping to save the money and see if there was an easier alternative. Anybody have any thoughts? Thanks!
