<p>None of the rigging you currently have is likely to help.

<p>Ask seller for very hard and most thick cable. You will need 1-2 meters. Remove isolation and take it to the bike. Make some turns around the video camera. Make a few more turns near the fork of the bicycle. Use the remaining wire, since the shaking will provoke large loads.</p></li>

<p>I'm filming a chase scene for a course and want to incorporate a bike. I've seen multiple films where the angle is on the spokes of the wheel. I am looking for any suggestions of a (much cheaper) rig or idea to get this shot. I'm working with a Mark II. I have access to a monopod, a wheel rig, and a shoulder rig. </p>

<p>Thanks</p>

A Mark II what? 5D?
