Bad idea gone well

Who ever said don't mount $3,000 of photography equipment on the hood of your car is a big baby.

During a recent trip to NYC I made a stop at the photographers candy store (B&H). I purchased a few items to mount my camera gear to any non-porous surface, such as the hood of my friends SUV.

Below is the result of 144 images being thrown into a quick time file.




Equipment used
Canon 40D body with Canon Vertical Battery Grip
Sigma 15mm Fish Eye Lens
Canon Timer Remote Controller
Lexar 8 Gig Compact Flash Card
Manfrotto Tripod Head
Manfrotto 3500 Pump Cup with Flat Base
Manfrotto Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin
2 Manfrotto Avenger D200 Grip Heads
Manfrotto Variable Friction Magic Arm

WARNING
This was done with a normal tripod head. I advice against trying this if you are unable to securely attach the other cup to the main rig to act as a backup support and to reduce the amount of pressure on the main setup.
