Test Video for Blog

This is just a short test video for my Blog checking out Video Rig I am going use.

Setting up a video rig to video Watches

Today I set up a video rig to video Watches, using my Canon EOS 70D fitted with a Canon EFS 18-135mm image stablizer lens. Mounted on my Manfrotto tripod, with one end of carrying strap attached to hook on workshop wall to stabilise camera and tripod. So will shoot a couple of videos to see if this rig is ok.
