I just picked up an Opteka slider last week. It's low-budget, but works well. It will do until I can afford a Kessler Pocket Dolly.

Everything except the case falling was shot at 1080p 24fps. The case bouncing off the ground was 720p at 60fps then slowed down to 15fps on playback.

The dolly moves are difficult on budget gear. I usually have to do a couple takes to get a really nice stable shot. I guess I just have to warm up first.

An old trick on static objects is to shoot it slow motion and go faster on the track. Easier to get a steady move that way.
But you nailed it the way you shoot this and It looks great

Good work!

Good luck </div></div>

Just one, a Canon 60D. It really is a phenomenal piece of equipment. I would love to have a 5D MkII or a 1D MkIV, but those are a little expensive right now and don't offer me enough of an advantage over what I have.

I am generally lazy, so the Viperskins will probably stay on until I have a reason to remove them.

I am going to be doing a video review of the AE MkII soon, so I will need to replace the original skins for that video.

I need to keep the Viperskins on for some time though to see if they hold up as well as the factory skins. I can't imagine why they wouldn't though.
