Great looking car and great shots. Just keep working with the rig and you'll have some magazine quality shots. Great job for your first try for sure!!

Mike, thanks... Here is my setup for those who asked:

-Six 2" od .125 wall (4' length) aluminum poles (I'm only using 4 of them)- custom bored
-Pins inserted in drilled holes
-Three Manfrotto Super Clamps
-Two Manfrotto Avenger F1000 Suction Cups
-One Manfrotto Magic Arm
-Canon 10-22
-B+W 77mm Neutral Density ND 0.9 (8x) 103 Glass Filter



The owner of the car I shot is a metal fabricator so he was able to get me the aluminum poles and bored them out so they fit in each other. I've seen other rigs, good quality poles is a must! I have almost no flex. I'm using about 14 ft maybe with about 2 feet of pole as a counter balance. I actually have 24 total feet. lol

Thanks everyone! Im running a Greddy TT kit. This will be my 6th summer with virtually no problems with it.

G-The wheels are 6RL3's not 2's lol

18x9f 18x10r

I had to run spacers all around to clear the Brembos. So I think after the spacers, and measuring (since J-Line doesnt put out their offsets) I am at -1 front and +7 rear.

Thanks for the compliments!!

Great job.

How long is the pole for your rig?
What lens were you using?

*Edit* NVM it's listed above. Thanks.
