Ground skimmer diy: use a upsidedown frisbee with a screw in the middle.

I just 3D printed a ground skimmer and added a bolt to it and I can't wait to try it because it probably cost me $3 or less for the print and the bolt.

Had never heard of the skimmer ground pod before. Thanks for the video and gear review Jeremy

I have that same skimmer and gimbal head and have never used them once!! I always end up going freehand!! I guess just less too carry around when birding!! Good video Jeremy!!!

I made my 'ground pod' from a discarded aluminum frying pan through which I drilled a 10mm hole. I use it bottom down for on even, soft ground where I want to be able to slide the thing, or bottom up where the ground is uneven e.g. rocky terrain.

I have been a big fan of the Cotton Carrier for the past several years. I used to have neck problems when I came back from a wildlife shoot from having a strap around my neck. The Cotton Carrier cured that.

I saw Steve Gettle using the Skimmer Ground Pod when I was photographing a Sandhill crane nest with him. What an awesome accessory I had never even heard of

I find this kind of groundpod a bit to easy to move around aka not stable while panning. So I made one myself of old frying pan. I drill a hole and attach a gimball head to it. It is attached with leveling base and panoramic base. Therefore I can get smooth rapid movement for tracking in stills mode when I unlock the gimbal and lock the panoramic base or fluid even movement with enough drag when I lock the gimbal and unlock panoramic head. Also I get very precise control ofer my level for panning in video. But most importantly I can screw it all to the base edge up to push it around on the ground or edge down to make is stable. Also I cut 6 shallow teeth on the edge so taht I could drive different section of the edge to the ground more easily. Therefore I can always get the base perfectly level on almost all terrain excepto for the rock without adjusting the head.

I actually have the manfrotto pixie mini but I never thought of using it as a ground pod! That's actually pretty smart! I have the regular ground pod as well but don't always carry it as it's pretty bulky. Guess I'll keep the Pixie mini now in the bag just in case! Thanks for sharing!

The skimmer ground pod is going to be a game changer for me. I have only used mine once but it was well worth the investment after just the first use.. I just ordered a new gimbal to use with it, can't wait to pair that up and test it out.

Jeremy are you a full time photographer if so how do you make a living out of it if you can make a video about it

[joeratanakkyvan]
