I read about this tip on another forum. Use a monopod upside down with the camera at ground level (will be upside down), then flip the video in post. Makes for a cool perspective.

nice tip - I tried to do this without a monopod and almost did my back in!

Nice - glad you didn't jump at the end... :hv20-smilie81:

Try one of these - you won't even need to flip your footage in the computer! http://www.studio1productions.com/stunt_bracket.htm

Nice, Peter!

I have a similar gizmo known as The Shaft (http://buytheshaft.com/) that I really like, but for cameras without a top-handle you'd need to add more bits and pieces ... :hv20-smilie16:
