about the rig
Sony RXO II mounted to a mountain bike. This bike flew down the mountain at Griffith Park. Couldn’t use any form of attachment that would fall off easily such as a cardellini. Those and other type of hand tightening clamps loosen up over time with vibration. We opted instead to go with hose clamps. Mounted small bicycle starters (I see where they get their name now) to the frame and made sure to protect the bike. Made sure all rigging was out of the way of the pedal and foot motion and triangulated the crap out of it.

ModX Rolling Soft Toplight
by:
Brendan Riel
We built this mobile toplight softbox using 6" ModX truss to serve four different sets inside a tight studio space with limited overhead clearance. The goal was to keep costs down and avoid building duplicate overhead rigs or ground units for each set. So, we designed a rolling, double-layered softbox that could easily move from set to set—and double as an in-frame ceiling piece when needed.
The structure measured 14’x14’ OD and held two 12x12 frames: one with 1/2 grid and one with bleached muslin. The bleached muz was rigged with a pulley system, allowing us to raise or drop the rag when we needed to bring it into the scene as a ceiling element. We punched LiteTile through both rags for soft, consistent coverage.
For mobility, we mounted the whole rig on C&C Studio Services tri-casters.
