The New Credit Open Sequence called for a small, low profile, shooting strategy taking place inside of real open venues, restaurants, and exterior spaces, making the Redrock rigs and Canon EOS 7D a perfect fit.

Those HD DSLR accessories are *not* cheap. I’m sure they’re less expensive than traditional production video equipment. But I’d like to know how much all the accessory gear used with the 7D cost. My guess is that rig we see in the photos cost 3x what the 7D body cost.
Dear Photo-John… what is your point? It is all expensive, including the 7D, which is a small part of the overall cost but also useless without the rigs. These gentlemen are in production and these are their tools. It is normal.
Photo-John…Do you even have a clue what it would take to rig a bike out with a “Traditional Video Camera and Equipment”. There is nothing that chaps me more that people who think they know this business. I started as a Grip and rigger 20 years ago when getting this shot would have take 4 speed rail starters, custom made, 6 pieces of speedrail, multiple lengths, 12 speedrail swivel T’s a cheese plate with speedrail adaptors. 3 arms and heads, 3 baby grid clamps, and a tilt plate. I’d need an hour to rig it and you could ride at top speed. Now a handlebar clamp with camera mount and a handful of 3/8″ mini pipe and fittings your doing the same top speed. And you think these AKS are more expensive, than “Traditional equipment”. Do yourself and all of us who have been in this business for longer that 5 years a favor….Take the money you would have spent on the 7D and buy yourself a clue!
I don’t get it. A person ask a perfectly clear plain and simple question, and just because these guys work for network television in Hollywood, they have to give nothing but a smart ass answer. Give the guy a break, all he wanted to know is a ball park figure of all the equipment combined in case he wanted to buy the same rig to use in his own work. Can we for once in life, leave the smart answers in the network or studio coffee room.
In answer to the mans question, the all combined equipment rig they used each one was more than likely around 10 to 18 thousand dollars depending on just how you wanted it rigged out and with what camera lens. Your right, it is still expensive and a lot lower than traditional equipment.
Photo-John good luck on all your future projects and may you go far in your career. Those guys forget they had to start somewhere at one time their-self.

Ha! I just noticed those replies to my comment. I’m a big boy and I’ve got thick skin. I’m no expert on video, nor do I claim to be. But I do run this site and know that the majority of users here are still photographers who *don’t* know how much video accessories cost. And “Beyond Imagination Media,” you should read more carefully. I said the HD DSLR accessories are probably “less expensive than traditional production video equipment.” Thanks for setting me straight.
