ATV options for steadicam

[Jerry Franck]

Hi all,

 

I have a show coming up, shooting bikes and it's all vehicle mount stuff.

 

Production is considering one of these vehicles (under utility vehicles & carts section):

Which one is the best and how do I make this work with the key grip?

First time doing it so any advice would be helpful.

 

Thanks,

Jerry

IMO (and I've done a TON of hard mount stuff) there are only two options, Griptrix and Carpenter Camera Cars. Griptrix are Electric cheese plates and it's a great setup for the under 30mph shoots. For over 30mph or Gas powered stuff just call Jack Carpenter bite the bullet and hire either his 6 wheel ATV or his Go-Mobile (that will do 90mph and 0-60 in 5 seconds!)

Hi Eric,

 

In your experience which of the GripTrix would be best for following and leading bikes?

We probably wont go more than 20 or 25 mph...

Either of the griptrix cars will work fine
