iPhone 3GS Rig: Alex Lindsay is my Hero
22 06 2009This Saturday, Alex Lindsay posted a short video on MacBreak showing what Pixel Corps managed to do with a shiny new iPhone 3GS and the video equipment they had lying around. His rig consisted of:
- A Redrock microShoulderMount
- (What looks like) a Beachtek DXA-4
- A mic (can’t identify)
- A Sima SLB-M
- A Litepanels Micro
- A follow focus (can’t identify)
And the iPhone mount:
The resulting rig is total overkill, and the mic and follow focus don’t work — the latter because the iPhone isn’t capable of changing its focus while in the middle of a recording, and the former (hopefully) because they don’t have a proper adapter for the Beachtek box.
The resulting video quality? Surprisingly good! A light and some extra support can do wonders.
Alex Lindsay is my hero now too. That is pretty amazing.
