How can I attach a camera in unusual places?

- Hey there, I'm Robbie Carman. - And I'm Rich Harrington. - And welcome back to another episode of Video Gear Weekly and Rich, this week, we're gonna take a look at kind of a unique mounting situation, and that is mounting cameras to pipes or cylindrical objects like we have right behind us here. - Yeah, we're actually at a cool parkour type gym here, and we are in the Washington, D.C. area visiting Urban Evolution, and what we're gonna be doing is mounting cameras so later on when the athletes come in, we can actually get some great close up shots where you can never put a crew. So, it's much easier in a controlled environment to climb a ladder or scale some scaffolding and mount a camera, and that will make it a lot easier to get the angle that we need, but in order to do that, it needs to be rock solid. Otherwise the camera could shake loose, and your shot could fail. So, we got a lot to cover, let's get started.
