This is seriously dope...those shots are so nice... It looks so legit and professional with the turning system...so convenient, easy and awesome looking.

I remeber back in the day when playing with Lego I would use two wheels and a bit of thread in between...was so cool!

I personally (my opinion) think that jib/cranes for skiing/action sports are a bit of overkill. It's almost like trying "too" hard to mimic what one would see as professional. Half the time the shots get ruined (same with dollies but that's a whole new topic in itself). Oh yeah and a dinky little 501/701 with some low end sticks won't hold this puppy, so that rules out this idea for most people... sorry I'm a dick.

On the other hand my opinion completely changes when the subject matter is somewhat cinematic (short films, even weddings, ect.)

Just not skiing.

Cool find though!

i'd have to disagree, I think they can be used quite well in skiing stuff in moderation (there was a video I watched of a boom shot of a flat down box session and it was a super unique way of filming it) and look really awkward in wedding videos (again, from what I've seen). I'm probably going to give this a try and see how it works out, probably won't be supported by my legs but its worth a shot.

that's so annoying. as soon as someone builds a dolly, they use it for 100% of their shots.
