Here’s a bit of a tip. On a project this weekend we needed to some footage of wood floors at a new home. No low-mode available so here’s the next best thing. We took a sand and mounted the camera on it. We then pushed it forward, pulled it sideways, and pushed it in an arch around one of the tiles. One addition to this is to attach a C-stand arm to the sandbag to help you push and pull it by giving you leverage. An other option I used on a shoot last year is to attach a rope to the sandbag. Run the rope through a pulley and pull the rope. It’s smooth and you can get a very long run with this method.
