Rickshaw speed


Recommended Posts

I would be inclined to say FULL SPEED running isn't right for a rickshaw: getting up to speed, keeping it in the right direction, wobbly wheels could mean problems. For full speed running, I'd probably request a Griptrix: hard mount, speed adaptable, very reliable at those speeds. Also, you won't burn up the grips pushing the rickshaw at full sprint for a shot and then needing to slow something that massive down by hand.

 

EDIT: Sidenote, your website is offline right now because it's hosted on .Mac, and they closed it down last month. Just FYI.

You could probably get up to a pretty good speed but I do not think it's the right tool for the job. Griptrix or something like that. If that's not available, so many key grips have an atv or rhino or something like that they can rig with a hard mount. Even wearing the rig on the back of a golf cart would be a better option.

What camera are you using?

You can do it yourself.....hehehehe

It takes a moment to get up to speed, but when you do, you can ride and shoot faster than most can run. if there is dialogue to cover from the runner, then it might not be a good idea.

 

I have another bike that the AC rides and pedals and I sit on the back in a bolted in tractor chair facing backwards while shooting handheld.

and if you need to chase the person rather then proceed there is this cart 29.5" top speed of 8mph

Since the average human running speed is around 9 mph they might work out of you...
