David Schuurman Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hey folks, I have a shot coming up where I need to start with the camera upside down and then rotate it back to normal. Is there any methods for doing this that I can accomplish cheaply?I thought about putting two piece of angle bracket on either side of a lazy suzan and mounting to a tripod. will this work or possibly be too shaky? Would love some insight. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Drysdale Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 You could check out a Ronford F7, setting up the camera so that it points out sideways from the head, centrred on the tilt bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Schuurman Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Thanks Brian, I think that's a solution that would be far out of my budget! I actually managed to rig something up with an additional bowlless tripod head and two angle brackets. I'll post a BTS still when we use it tomorrow!

Evan Walsh Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I saw you said that ronford head was out of the budget but if you need to do that in the future, Cartoni makes a 3rd axis attachment for their Lamba heads that gives you the ability to roll the camera.

Premium Member Dom Jaeger Posted February 26, 2017 Premium Member Share Posted February 26, 2017 In this country you can rent a Ronford F7 for a day for $100.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Schuurman Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 In this country you can rent a Ronford F7 for a day for $100.. This is a personal project I wrote this weekend and we are shooting it in the morning at 6am. So $100 is still $100 over budget, and I would have nowhere to source from on a sunday. But definitely good to know for the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I ask is that I am going to be shooting a similar shot soon however it will be dollying out as well. thanks Dwayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Schuurman Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 Hey Dwayne, here is a bts video of how I had it rigged up. worked perfectly! https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-BBHEG_PBIMWk5HhGlC8akK1M4yHms-eng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far my best idea was to use a Ronin and rotate it 90 degrees and use the controller to roll it the other 90 but have not tested it yet so not sure if it will freak out when upside down or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
