I'll be tackling this project this summer.

I've been browsing through POTN, but most everyone is very secretive with their setups (understandable).

But any tips would be appreciated.

 

I built one and included a bunch of detailed shots on POTN. To save you from searching, I'll repost them here.

















First test shot

 

Ah, yeh. I remember seeing your thread on POTN. Very nice!

 

I plan on building one at the end of this month...suction mounts FTW!

wow thanks for the link, they take some awesome photos.

 

My friend Cosmin (username on here is Infinus) has a pretty sick custom rig. Here are a few unedited pics so you can see what it looks like. The cool thing about this rig is that its held underneath the car by either clips or magnets instead of on the body so its a lot easier to photoshop out. And you also don't have to worry about scratching any part of your car. Again these pics are untuched so don't mind the way they look

 

Calin, is your friend located in SoCal? Is he super sensitive/secretive with his rig? I'd love to check it out in person to get some perspective before I build mine!

 

Hit him up, his name is Cosmin his S/N on here is Infinus.

 

He lived in socal for a while to do school here but moved back to AZ a few weeks ago. I don't think he's really secretive about it, talk to him

 

Ok so this question isnt so much about the rig but when you shoot these type of shots do yall just use a slower shutter speed? Is it hard to keep the car focused ?

 

I'm not secretive at all, I encourage sharing of info, I think its stupid when people try to keep secrets, if your good at what you do, you will always have business. Plus it forces you to advance your skills instead of becoming stagnant.

I went down to meet the guys behind automotiverigs.com and pick up one of the newly designed rigs. Really Nice guys BTW. This one uses clamps instead of the magnets, I like it and feel that it holds much better than the magnets would. However when the cars are too low its still a bit of a problem so I plan on making a suction cup variation of it also. The rig as it sits still has a small bit of motion but so far its been manageable. Now all I need is a good ND filter from my 10-22 so i can shoot during the day.

The rig:

 

4 apostrophes in that sentence Cosmin

actually, in that thread there is a link to a POTN thread my friend made, and it has a detailed parts list and a few pictures of the actual rig.
