Thanks, DJ. I'll try some of the Wheel Wax.

You're right, I do like that second night shot even better than the first.

Like Gary, I'd like to see pics of the rig itself, especially of where the poles attach to the suction cup apparatus and where it attaches to the camera. How long are the poles? It seems like they're long enough to create a lot of leverage---to where, with the movement of the car and the weight of the camera, you'd get some adverse movement of the camera (ie movement relative to the vehicle, destroying your focus on the car). Obviously the set-up is more solid than it appears.

And speaking of which, where did they (the poles) come from? Are they made for mounting a camera on, or did you have to adapt somehow? Do they telescope to change length?

Agreed.


I could also see some doofus doing what DJ mentioned: pushin' the car down a slight hill that turned out to be steeper than he'd counted on. Couldn't you just see some guy chasin' a driverless Boxster down the street?? (Insert Three Stooges theme song music here...)
