Brilliant! Absta-frakking-lootly brilliant!
I doff my hat to you, Stu!
Thanks for posting this Stu! I will be using this technique for sure!
Good stuff.
Heh. I did this very same thing a couple of weeks ago. It just came to me during the shoot. In fact, one of the other guys photographed me doing it, because he thought I looked ridiculous....

Hey thanks Stu and all, that was so simple and effective - sometimes we rely on having the bigger toys to pull of a simple shot (my bad) thanks for the refresh
That's genius.
I still prefer swinging from a hammock a la Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
wow, that's pretty clever. Instant production value for a no budget video!
Man, this is great stuff. What a simple way to make those shots. "simplicity".
I also liked how the video was done, edited, how it gives us the information.
Tried it and it works really nicely! Thanks for posting Stu.
used it yesterday, with a "wow it looks lite the camera is flying" from the client when he saw the playback,
thanks
Yeah - great trick. I bet someone will come up with a homebrew rig that's a variant on that trick - like a monopod on a hinge.
That's just one of those things that you just wanna smack yourself for not thinking of because it's so simple. Great stuff!

I wish I had a nice enough tripod for that...
I just tried with a low end Bogen tripod and DVX100a without my wide adaptor on and it works as advertised. It's pretty easy and stable as well. Best tip in years...
