chasejarvisTECH: How To Build a Pro Cine-Boom on a Shoestring [literally]

In my last chasejarvisTECH piece you got a peek at the gear I packed away for the 19,000 foot climb up Kilimanjaro for the Summit on the Summit. There were more than a few comments on how much “stuff” went with me. It’s all relative I suppose, but when you get down to it that was a fairly bare-bone operation for a job that still yielded high-end results.

As you see in this next installment, we had to make do without some of the other gear that we would have loved to have had along the way but left out for obvious reasons. I’m talking about cranes, jibs, dollies and the like. So sometimes you have to get creative.

My man Chris did just that, by lashing some cordelette climbing rope to a tripod to create a makeshift cinema boom. As the footage at the end proves, you can’t tell the difference.

Here’s what went into this fine piece of jury-rigging:

_Manfrotto Support
_Canon 5D Mark III
_Cordelette [Find it at most outdoor gear stores or online — often listed under “Accessory cords.”]

If you’re swinging that camera out over an edge (like Chris does), make sure you’re on solid footing and keep a tight grip on that cordelette.

And that’s it. Super-cheap, super-effective boom solution done at altitude.

    I stumbled upon it for him… lol. So let me reword this….

    This is also a good way to differentiate the groups frrom each other.

    Not just a women biker jacket, I think every single
    woman shoud get at lsast one corset lingerie too. 1 way to know that’s to utilize a tire pump
    or CO2 gas cylinders to re-inflate the tire and observe
    in the event you hear air escaping.

    Youu most likely use itt to kedep inn touch with friends and
    family, or use it foor business purposes. If you want to
    know who owns the unknown number that called you, you can use this i – Phone application for spying on others.
    They too have a responsible role in protecting your i –
