Shoulder Fig Rig

After looking at how shaky and unstable my filming was, due to walking along the site, I needed a device that would enable me to produce a smoother film. Not only would it help to stabilize the film, it would also give the viewer something steady to focus on whilst watching.

This device was very quick to make. It sat on my shoulder as I filmed and hopefully would eliminate most of the shaking. The camera simply attached to the top part of the device by a screw and then I would hold onto the handles at the front. Supposedly the Shoulder Fig Rig was meant to eliminate most of the shaking and all the videos I had watched on-line appeared to do that. The one concern I had after making the device was it was attached to my body and surely whilst I am walking the shaking would reappear.
