I think me and Graham will go for another attempt tomorrow if he's free, so I'll get some then. He suggested it today but we only had my camera and couldn't be bothered with a phone camera.

All lined up:

Being pushed at 1mph:

Round 2 tomorrow, hopefully the weather stays decent

They came out so well considering it's a 1st attempt, I wasn't expecting to come away with a decent result.

I was ducked

Nah I was pushing it and Luke needed to be at the camera so had no choice. We got some with me driving, which everyone apparently said not to do due to vibrations, but it's no real difference to pushing it, just less work

Those were, but the proper ones which I posted in the main forum aren't.

Cost me nearly £200 in parts so I'd be foolish to do it for less than £230.

The Magic Arm is £100 alone and that's crucial...

For anyone curious to see how sharp the image is or whatever, here's a un-edited, full-res photo.

Results look great Luke!

Not as much photoshopping needed as I first thought

Id be tempted mate, how long would it take you to make it and get it out?

Probably about a week, I'd need a weekend ideally and the Magic Arm took 6 days to arrive.

Need to do it again when it's actually clean! It's filthy!

Surely you would want to start off with a lower price and get more customers in then set up and start charging more, i can see alot more people buying them at lower prices.

I'm not trying to make a business out of it...

If someone wants one made, I'll do it for £230 but any less and there's literally no point for me.

I made one for my partner that cost £8

It doesn't get the variety of shot that yours does; but it's damned easy to make.

I'll get some pictures up this weekend if I get chance.
