Inspired by your contributions and effort with these invaluable videos, thanks Luke

[@meetthegaffer]

You are most welcome!

[@EYECRAFTVideo]

LOVED THIS VIDEO - MORE CAN CAR RIGGS - GOD BLESS

[@devPunks]

Car rigs and plaid shirts. The 90's grunge addict in me already liked this video. Might as well go on ahead and smash that button early! :-)

[@devPunks]

Mini-Linis on the push arms....Now that's DIY genius. I woulda hitched it to the roof going the other way which would have been FAR less "Almost safe" ;-)

[@meetthegaffer]

Ha, ha! It’s the little things...

[@digitalmagicAR]

Great stuff! Thank you for sharing

[@tomwojtaniec]

Great stuff

[@C7Mediaart]

I love your channel today is my first day that I subscribe and I already watch 10 videos very good information

[@meetthegaffer]

Welcome!

[@shoulderthelion-film9895]

Use white or silver car for bounce. Or black for neg fill. Also please protect the weatherstripping! I know this is probably a rental so who cares but with private cars a piece of extra rubber between ratchet strap and the car weatherstripping does wonders.

THANKS for asking how he got the rails under the car. NOBODY EXPLAINS THAT!!!

[@SoloTraceur]

push it under....

[@appealinglife]

I started to get into super basic car mounts lately and I’d like to start taking it to the next level. Where can I find info about getting the right pipes, suction cups,etc for a 25 pound rig. Thank you 🙏

[@meetthegaffer]

I don’t have a direct answer for you short of getting to know other car-rigging grips in your area and learning from them. Someone else may have better feedback…

[@appealinglife]

@@meetthegaffer thank you 🙏

[@frederickparry8934]

What are the name of those black things holding the spigot to keep the camera in place ? They are great but can’t find a name for them anywhere ! Thanks

[@meetthegaffer]

Do you mean the suction cups with baby pins or the double wheel heads securing the rods to the camera?

[@Emma_Kiwi]

Double wheel heads ! Where do you find them ??

[@meetthegaffer]

@Emma_Kiwi Those are custome made by an LA Key Grip, I believe. They are not easy come by and are not cheap. Ping me and I will try to help hook you up if you are still interested. [e-mail]

[@aspieinabowtie]

More car rigging, please. Especially for hybrid DSLR

[@meetthegaffer]

:)

[@GiTxSHuM]

Do you get the shot list to figure out how to mount those angles days before or you do it on the fly and create these in real time? I never thought of the door mount using that cheese plate.

[@meetthegaffer]

It depends. For something like this it was probably just a conversation between the DP and Key that certain tools should be available. I don’t think Todd saw a shot list, but he’s seasoned enough to bring enough toys to make the mounts happen:)

[@TheMichaelTech]

Umm...define simple😅😅😂😂 very innovative tho

[@meetthegaffer]

Simple is indeed relative:)

[@devPunks]

How'd the rear camera suction to the back to the rear window?

[@CalHallows]

Perhaps safety glass is stronger than I give it credit for but I would have thought one good bump and it's shattering all over the place.

[@meetthegaffer]

Another way, with more time and parts, would be to build a speed rail frame/cage inside the vehicle, and providing a hanging point without touching the back door.

Rental cars work best
