Live from NAB:  Get That Car Shot…

There are few contemporary movies where at least some of the action doesn’t take place in a car.  Of course, when Hollywood does it, they do it big, by mounting the car on a trailer and allowing cameramen, gaffers and such to rig the cameras, lights and such to hardpoints on the trailer.  Unfortunately, most of us aren’t in that position, and to the rescue comes Delkin Devices.  Their Fat Gecko Camera Mount features two locking suction cups attached to a short arm that adjusts to point the camera in the right direction.  With a weight limit of 8 pounds, you won’t be mounting an Arriflex on it, but there are hundreds of video cameras that fit under that limit.  (Of course, let’s not be stupid - you should safety-cable the camera in case of trouble.)  The Fat Gecko was on sale for $80 at the B&H Photo booth, and you can find out even more at the Delkin Devices website.
