A couple friends and I had been planning for a while on making a rig, and they finally put it all together while I was out of town the past few months. Now that I am back, I got to take a few shots with it last night.

Here is one that my friend has photoshopped for me.

The shot was taken with his 30D and my Tokina 12-24 f/4.0. Shot was taken at f/7.1 with a 2.5 second exposure.



If anyone is interested in seeing the rig I can link to the POTN post my friend made.

 

Link please I am making my own rig using suction cups and a Manfrotto Majic Arm but could always use more ideas............thanks in advance.

I think POTN is the Canon forum correct..........

yes, POTN is photograph on the net, the Canon photography forum. One link coming right up...

We also use suction cups and a Manfrotto magic arm. The thread has the part numbers and prices listed for everything used.

If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. No trying to hide how this rig was made, as lots of other people tend to do.

 

Thanks I posted on that thread and the ideas and part number are very much welcome. I'm almost done with my set up so when that is done I will post the results.

 

ha, was going through my friends post, and it looks like you have already seen it Ed.

^beat me to it.

 

I thought you meant a rig that attaches to the car? Are the suction cups stuck to the ground? lol

 

LOL yeah I found that forum by accident however good stuff.

 

the rig does attach to the car . both suction cups were attached to the rear hatch glass, but erased from the picture with the magic of Photoshop . if you look at the POTN thread you can see a shot with the rig left in the picture on my friends subaru.
