First ride of 2011

A short video I filmed and edited today. Riders are Mark Harris and Chris Turner. Filmed on a new track built over the last few months by another local rider. Filmed on a Canon 7D with a rode videomic, 50mm 1.8, 80-200mm 2.8, glidetrack slider and a steadicam-type stabilizer. Filmed and edited by Ben Walton. HD - http://video.mpora.com/watch/j8rBtznpW/

What kind of steadycam did you use around 0:45. Was it something you bought or a DIY thing? I know you have answered this question before. I was just wondering if you had any pictures of it or anything?
Thats an awesome shot

benwalton (Apr 4, 2011 at 12:01)

Very nice, what did you do at around 45seconds..? Did you run after them..?

benwalton (Jan 3, 2011 at 4:34)

Ah i got a new little toy, it's a stediacam kind of stabiliser, basically it's a counterbalance, it's pretty cool. And yeah I ran after them.

FindlayReade (Jan 3, 2011 at 7:28)

VOD, nice skills, some really nice shots in there.

ncrider5 (Jan 2, 2011 at 18:36)

awesome guys, what did you use for the cable cam looking deal at 45?

benwalton (Jan 3, 2011 at 4:35)

It's a stedicam type stabiliser, but A LOT less expensive haha, it's basically just a counterbalance with weights on the bottom and the camera on the top.

ncrider5 (Jan 3, 2011 at 7:30)

so you run with it then? well done if so man! looks really good.

benwalton (Jan 3, 2011 at 7:37)

Yep, hoping to get some really cool shots with it this year, when I have time to setup and plan it properly.
