Very nice pictures!

A lot of photographers are quite precious about showing pictures of their rig, it's not something I ever understood really.

Scroll down to the SM8 Kit or the SM11 - I reckon both of those will do the business.

Cracking shots. got to be brave to stick af couple of £k worth of camera on a rig. i'd be far too scared.

You'd be surprised how stable they are... plus, shots are generally taken at about 1 mph!

i had one,

wasn't that keen on it to be honest. pain in the arse to photoshop out you see.

a better design is one that mounts underneath the car or on top. has it's drawbacks but : http://www.automotiverigs.com/gallery.html

Like the look of those kits. looks like something i could have made up though. know people who would easily be able to produce something along those lines.

Well I'm no 'rig-meister' but we got round it by taking a static shot with no rig as well as the moving shot.... so the only thing that needed to be 'shopped' out was the remaining rig over the road. (And when I say we, I mean Matt did all the work!)

I've heard nothing but bad things about those automotive rigs - specifically that there are major issues with securing them to the bottom of a lot of cars.

At least with suction cups you have lots of options.

[Scope]

You need to get the camera higher Ian. Are you using proper suction cups or ones for picking up glass.
