  • I’ve used various car mounts, including my DIY car mount and suction mounts. But I had not been satisfied until I found the Camtree Gripper G-51.

    Some of the things I like about this camera car mount is that it's very cheap, just $135! Despite the low price it doesn't feel cheap. It's made mostly from metal and can hold up even a cinema camera. Also it comes with a padded carry case and lots of different pieces and various length arms. This allows you to configure the rig to fit any car or mounting scenario.

    I am glad he kept trying to find the right rig that would do the job.I went for a monfrotto type it's good but I could do with longer arms for it. Great video as always Tom

    I just borrowed one of these from a friend, I appreciate this video. One thing I may add - and I'm going to include in the box when I send it back - are some ratchet straps or tie-downs from an auto or home improvement store. Looking at the little safety "line" they include makes me anxious.

    On the $85.00 one, using the Ronin S, How fast could you go, ant trust the suction cups from popping off? I am interested in trying that one. And just remember there is allot of money hanging on the outside of your car door. Let me know please.

  • @BradleyRyanStorrs
    @BradleyRyanStorrs 4 года назад +1

    Hi Tom, I’m wondering if there’s anything I should worry about legally if I was to drive around with a camera mounted on my car like this. Seems like it would be a hazard when it obstructs the drivers view. Would I get pulled over? Did you have to get a permit to shoot like you did or just pick a road that nobody drives on?

    • @TomAntos
      @TomAntos  4 года назад +1

      That would depend on the laws where you plan to do it. Always find out before you shoot.

    Hi Tom, thank you for this excellent video. On another video "Car Scene: Camera, Lighting & Sound Tutorial" you talked about a similar Camtree product having suction cups that sometimes failed, is this something that Camtree have corrected in this G-51 Gripper, I am asking because I am shooting a car I cannot afford to scratch very soon so I'd like to know what you think before I buy this product. I was also looking at Mathew's Indie rig although that is probably too expensive for me.

  • @bgibel
    @bgibel 7 лет назад +3

    Thanks, Tom! Great video. I just ordered one of these and subscribed to your channel! Those car shots in your film were beautiful. How did you get your shot looking straight at all three passengers inside the vehicle? Did you mount the rig on the inside of the windshield with something like a 16mm lens on it and the shortest extension arms in the car rig kit?

  • @PeteWoronowski
    @PeteWoronowski 7 лет назад

    Great review as always Tom and looks to be a fantastic, affordable unit.
    My only concern would be the security ropes resting against the paint of the automobile.
    Would be nice if they had a small suction cup for the security rope to go through to keep it off the paint.
    Cheers, Pete

    • @TomMakesThings
      @TomMakesThings 7 лет назад +2

      Dark Horse Films you can always put a piece of cloth and gaffers tape where the rope meets the car. but I've used this rope and many other rigs where I used big straps and it never damaged the car paint. it's a soft rope.

    • @chiefdenis
      @chiefdenis 7 лет назад +3

      good question, probably a polarizer, i'm probably wrong tho, cuz that's very clean

    • @tosvus
      @tosvus 7 лет назад +1

      Likely the lens was mounted as close to the window as possible and masking it so there was cloth from the lens flush with the window, at an angle where it just went outside FOV of the lens. Plus a polarizer likely.

    • @chiefdenis
      @chiefdenis 7 лет назад

      tosvus that would have made the car impossible to drive safely

    • @tosvus
      @tosvus 7 лет назад +1

      Depends on how much of the window they would have to cover and how close they can get the lens to the window. Of course in most situations with an actor behind the wheel in a shot like this, they aren't actually *driving* when they are filmed.

    • @larbueno
      @larbueno 2 месяца назад

      The bug part is always a challenge. Perhaps placing an air dam/air deflector just below the lens that would allow the wind to blow up and over the front of the lens...that would prevent bugs from hitting it...and I would always put some sort of filter in front of the lens...a UV, polarizer or some filter that would not only protect the lens but give the desired effect for that given shot.

  • @AG-qv2tk
