Cable Cam Test #1

First test of my cable cam. More in-depth testing coming soon.

Just a little update on the cable cam for those that are interested. The rig is much smoother and is completely silent after we bought some thicker nylon rope (which fits in the pulleys better), and we bought 50m of it which will enable us to do runs almost twice as long as we could with the old rope. The rig hasn't been used to film our MTB movie, 2WO FO4R ZER0 yet, but we hope to use it late autumn and winter this year for some awesome shots. Stay tuned for more info!

dude this is brilliant! just spray some teflon on those squeaky wheels and you'll be fine!

SpikeX (Nov 26, 2009 at 2:57)

I did spray some WD-40 on the pulleys and changed the rope (to something thicker, which actually fits the pulleys), and the noise stopped immediately.

loving the towel idea to stop it, works quite well

smart

Can you post a tutorial on how you made it?, what kind of pulleys you used etc? Looks sweet. Would love to film fly by wire shots. Cheers

Thanks

I'll definately think about making a video about it. I'm completely redesigning it within the next month or two so I guess I'd probably make it then.

Thats actually so sick!

SpikeX (Aug 24, 2008 at 5:16)

Thanks man. That one had a few flaws with it, so I might start building v2 soon in time for the rest of the filming for the movie.

Should build a kick ass pump track in your back yard.

SpikeX (Dec 30, 2008 at 2:52)

Yeah I wish I could. I have a small track between some trees on the side of the garden (wasn't in the vid). I really wanted to build a pump track but we're moving house in just under 6 months so I can't really start now.

SpikeX (Nov 24, 2008 at 6:46)

Why not? Do you have a problem?

InsertUsername (Nov 25, 2008 at 23:00) (Below Threshold)

You make people think it will have some footage of you actualy using it and insted you get you little sister to throught down a string it your back yard. Why would you think some one would want to watch that.

SpikeX (Nov 26, 2008 at 6:03)

Well yeah, that was the first day it was built so of course there wasn't any riding footage. If you don't like it just don't comment.

Dude if this isn't what you expected just don't comment and go fuck off.

zacadas (Jun 16, 2009 at 18:09)

I don't think that was a waste of time... I like the idea and i'm thinking in use it to some of my videos.

SpikeX (Jun 16, 2009 at 21:20)

Well thank you.

zacadas (Jun 17, 2009 at 5:00)

SpikeX (Jun 17, 2009 at 7:04)

it clearly states "TEST" at the top of the video. Hes just showin his new rig. get over the 37 seconds he "wasted" of your life.

uttanutta12 (Nov 30, 2009 at 10:10)

well, i personally thought that was a interesting concept of a new ways to film stuff, i didn't care that there was no riding in it, and that InsertUsername should just stfu

nielsdewit (Sep 20, 2010 at 1:03)

SpikeX makes the new/ beginner movie makers on some ideas to improve there skils. to take better shots. to have fun with a rope and some wheels and wood... so they will be creative to

Insertusername.... uhhmmm no words for it HAHAHAHA
