AndyB Posted May 20, 2014 Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Nice. I think I just found the replacement for my tired and worn Rip Ties. Thanks Dave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfisk Posted May 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2014 Nice. I think I just found the replacement for my tired and worn Rip Ties. Thanks Dave! Glad you like it! We made these things to last a LONG time. No noisy velcro or anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henchman Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Why hasn't anyone ever made a pivoting harness to hold a boom pole, so you don't have to hold the boomup all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirror Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 There are a few out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfisk Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 Why hasn't anyone ever made a pivoting harness to hold a boom pole, so you don't have to hold the boomup all the time. Because it's hard and really expensive to do right, and even then it isn't quite right. We were working on something based on the easy rig for cameras and nobody liked it, so we stopped. There is the kit cool which is alright for ENG stuff, but not for film or narrative tv. Boom ops need to be able to move the pole any which way at any moment and so far any rig that exists out there is limiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep owl Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 I think it would be easy to do with something like a big articulated pole. One articulation goes to the ground or to a belt platform, then vertically up to the articulation point, the second articulation goes out horizontally over talent. It'd be just like putting a boom on a stand...except you would hold it and have much better ability to move it. I imagine someone's already thought of that however.

Olle Sjostrom Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 There are solutions . But none is as good as just holding the boom. I think a steadicam thing would be the closest. But then it would be to heavy. Holding the boom is not a problem if you work out. I don't see the need for such a product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattinSTL Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Dave, I just got a StingRay and I can see that I'll be getting those cable hangers next. I've been using "piggin strings" in conjunction with RipTies... but the piggin strings leave a lot to be desired... what you have there looks about perfect. I've been putting my cans in the side pocket for storage, but that's a tight fit... and this looks like a nice way to hold the snake on one side, and cans on the other. With the loop system surrounding the bag... I'll get two sets so I can also keep a couple coils of XLR on there. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpaul215 Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Yes! Thank you KTek! One of my biggest problems with the piggin straps is the Velcro destroys some headphones, like HD25s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olle Sjostrom Posted May 23, 2014 Report Share Posted May 23, 2014 Ah yes! I know of a Swedish dude that made one of these himself as well.. that one (rabbit) seems good, but I don't get why you'd need one. The shots that require a long boom are not as frequent, IME. I've managed with a 4m boom on all my projects.. different strokes. And yes on topic, hehe. I'm ordering this post haste. Live the little things!

We wanted to make something that is quick and easy to use. I've been using them to hold headphones on the bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfisk Posted May 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2014 Nobody noticed the bag? HA! I was waiting for that. The bag in the video is the latest iteration of the 664 Stingray bag. We made some minor changes that are really cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent R. Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Whilst browsing your youtube channel David, I saw the announcement of a new zeppelin somewhere last year. Any timeframe for that? Looks interesting, the modular design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted May 26, 2014 Report Share Posted May 26, 2014 Anyone who thinks a mechanical solution, pivot etc etc is the answer for booming a dramatic scene has never boomed a dramatic scene. If we could have made that work we would have by now. p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmahaAudio Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I am constantly amazed thet you continue to get Zach Galifianakis to do your promos. Did you sign him to a deal early on or do you know something that could ruin his career? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
