Overthinking Peter McKinnon's Overhead Camera Rig - Get a Grip Ep 3
Six years ago, Peter McKinnon showed us how to turn a c-stand into an overhead camera rig. I didn't have much use for it at the time, but I do now. And in going about setting it up, I found a few things that you need to be careful about to get the most out of the rig.
In this video, we'll look at how I've adapted Mr. McKinnon's rig for my uses. And more importantly, what to watch out for and pay attention to if you want to duplicate this setup yourself.
