Experimental Spotlight Rig

Post by bigfellascott »

Since I do a bit of spotlighting on my own and find shooting out of the Driver Side a tad difficult (Read to fucking fat to do it properly) so had to come up with a solution that would allow me to still get out and spotlight on my own.

This one is primarily set up for spotlighting foxes ie stopping getting up on the back of the ute or off the bonnet and whistling them in from there, with a bit of luck it should work ok (not going to be as flexible as just driving around and spotlighting them and shooting them from the vehicle as such but better than not doing it.

I can turn the light just like any other spotlight setup ie up down, left right etc so all good there too. Anyway that Tripod sure has come in handy.

I can't wait for the book release;

"101 things to do with a camera tripod"

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The set up definitely looks like a winner, though.
