Glidecam-unicycling Can't Post
I ride a unicycle while I film, and until now have been using a tripod to carry with me as I filmed (for over/under shots...holding the inverted tripod with camera inches from the ground as I rode) which had great-but limited opportunities.

I used this technique to create my first extreme unicycling DVD, Training Wheel Not Required (www.LBMmultimedia.com)

I have begun filming my second release: Inner Balance. Glidecam was excited about the idea and has sponsored the movie!!

I will be keeping a blog about my exciting method of unicycle-Smoothshooting and think you might like to follow along as I really figure it out. (I'd love to hear from you in there!) I have already posted a 'using it for the first time' clip, this does not feature the smooth shooter, but the 4000pro, L7pro, and unicycle

thanks

For those interested in the Glidecam setup, I have updated my blog where I describe my new setup, which includes the Low Mode Adapter, and that thing is awesome!! http://www.innerbalancemovie.blogspot.com/ (still no pics of me actually riding with it, sorry)
