    Below is a frame grab of a camera lazy susan used for a British Diet Coke ad. Does anyone know who manufactures this, or what was used to construct one. Any advice would be most helpful.

    Here’s a link to the video. It comes in about 1:04 into the piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=adyEH37Hiak

    Thanks

    I doubt this exists anywhere else. Looks to me like some very clever grip work, a one-of-a-kind.

    I agree with Rick… I don’t think that’s anything you can buy off the shelf.

    Very cool piece of rigging. Probably a fair bit of work went into that shot… one that, I’ll note, did not make the finished cut at all.

    I think I know a guy who knows the guy that designed this. We were chatting about something that sounded remarkably like this looks on a shoot recently.

    As I recall, he said the guy designed it himself and then sold it to Arri… Presumably they’re not making it commercially yet though or we’d all know what it was!

    That’s not particularly helpful, I realise!
