Camera Smash!
by Joe!
The difference between an expensive tripod and a 12 € one from the Chinese Bizarre…
On a film shoot yesterday, I didn’t have the up-down gimble-majiggy tightened sufficiently, and it suddenly tilted straight downwards with the camera attatched. It has done this before in the past. But this time two small plastic pieces snapped off inside the quick-release mounting mechanism, and the camera instantly flew off landing right on its snout.
Amazingly it continued to work for the rest of the shoot! It’s opened up the nozzle and twisted some plastic bits and something inside rattles… But I’m sooo glad we were able to finish – there were paid actores involved and people down especially from Madrid!
So… It’s off to the Camera Hospital today!

glad you could finish .. look forward to seeing the filming, and hope the hospital has a good bandage
Huh, yeah, a good, CHEAP bandage…
kitchen roll..?!
Hopefully toilet paper – the patternless, almost transparent, recycled stuff…
50p for 70 metres…
ahh yes, the tear your bum tracing paper stuff
You know the stuff…
*fixed!* and cheaply!
Yay!
