Re: Mounting a jib into a truckbed

Guys,

Thanks for the input.

I have tried stabilizing the test footage in Shake. It produced moderately acceptable results, but there was a wavy line in the footage. It looked like the background was being morphed between frames. I guess the footage was just too shaky even for Shake (no pun intended).

I've thought to dampen the vibration with something between the jib base and the truck bed. A rubber bar mat might be an idea considering its thickness. I might look around and see where I can locate one. I was originally thinking of some thick blankets, but perhaps the best option would be to use both and strap the jib to it.

Thanks again for your thoughts. I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
