The Fig Rig

[BonOfTheDead]

If you're like me, you only saw this thing on the making of Crank 2. Now, I really had no idea what it was called, nor if it was really anything practical. So now, I'm curious to know if this thing is any good.

From all the things I've read, the feedback is not really positive.

As nice alternative to steady cam, it seems alright. Mike Figgis has made money and we haven't so I'm going to guess he knows what he's on about. If you want to use 35mm adapters then forget it, but wacking the settings on auto and it seems like a good enough idea for me.

From what I've heard there pretty good.

Well alright. I might try making one out of a bike tire, but it all depends on if I can get one.

They sell for $300 at Samy's Camera.
