hows it goin? im new to the site, and was looking for some help. Im trying to get setup to do alot of car photography and im looking for a car boom. i read about them a while ago but have not been able to find somewhere that sells them. and just case im using the wrong name for, it is a stand on which the camera sits on but is locked on to the chassi of the car, so u move the car and the car is fine in the photo but everything else is blurred.
thanks for your time.

    Try here.

    It's my understanding that if the car is going to be moving you'll need to attach it via a 3 point system in order to keep the vibrations under control. Id also be very careful not to go too fast and avoid anything but the smoothest of roads.

    yeah i have had a look at a few of those, the one i read about connected to the chassi and extended out a fair way so you could shoot the whole car in one frame, and just photo shop the boom out as all you would see of it was a length of steel (or what ever the boom is) from bottom of the frame to under the car
