Of coarse you wouldn't need that follow focus due to the fact that the GH1 has auto focus in video mode, but I guess you could still use it for when you were setting up your shots.]]>May 5th 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/May 5th 2010 7:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/May 5th 2010 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/
That dad is awesome, the guy made the video sucks.
I like he said "i watch many DIY videos, shoulder cam videos etc etc and i made some my own" no mate your fathers many years of experience and craftsmanship made, you were just filming him. And that makes him a bit lame in my eyes.
Next time someone tell him to go help his dad, and learn from him few things!!]]>May 5th 2010 7:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/
I ranked you up. I got the same impression.

I will say I think he had a hand in helping with the initial planning, but judging from what he said his dad came up with the focus method...which is the real groundbreaking part of this.

Came off as a bit of a tool, but I'm still glad he made the video.]]>May 5th 2010 7:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/
He probably went and gathered the wood and try the initial fitting. That's how he "helped".]]>May 5th 2010 10:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/Do you have any experience in film/tv/video? The fact that he only made the video in your eyes makes him lame?

Did you find the video concise, intelligable and/or entertaining? That doesn't come out of thin air

The video was shot, edited and paced well. Not that it's a ground breaking by any means, but its of professional quality. Someone inexperienced could not shoot or edit a piece like this.]]>May 6th 2010 1:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/The video is of the production, nothing about the design process.

I'm seasick, can they guy get his dad to make him a tripod next.

Gimmicky wooden focus puller for gimmicky DSLR video mode. Match made in heaven. ]]>May 5th 2010 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/-1 For terrible grammar
-5 For asking a dumb question you already know the answer to... why would you need to spend all the time making this for still shooting when you could just use a tripod? Of course it's for video.
-5 For being ignorant. It's not "gimmicky" to have HD video on DSLR's anymore, they just shot a whole HD episode of house on them and it looked awesome. Also handcrafted wood for a specific purpose is sort of the opposite of "gimmicky."]]>May 5th 2010 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/
I just don't think it was worth all that effort for DSLR video since it's such a gimmicky feature. ]]>May 5th 2010 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/
Yeeap...that wins top moron comment of my day.

It's so "gimmicky" a low-end company called ZEISS is making this for shooting full length films using DLSRs....

...to get a piece of the gimmick-pie. Ya.

Maybe you all should read up on the definition of 'Gimmick'. ]]>May 5th 2010 10:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/wooden-dslr-shoulder-rig-does-follow-focus-with-a-twist/
Wikipedia- "In marketing language, a gimmick is a quirky feature that distinguishes a product or service without adding any obvious function or value. Thus, a gimmick sells solely on the basis of distinctiveness and may not appeal to the more savvy or shrewd customer"

Dictionary.com- "verb (used with object)
5.
to equip or embellish with unnecessary features, esp. in order to increase salability, acceptance, etc. "

Sooo....
