A VBag is a bag filled with tiny plastic pellets and it’s very lightweight and flexible when there’s still air in it. You can use it to very quickly position your camera in places where a tripod simply couldn’t go … you can use objects around you as a base for the VBag, and form a base for your camera with it. Just bend it into the right direction, wrap it around the camera, attach the pump to the valve, close it, pump – and very quickly, it will solidify in exactly that position. And it will stay right there as long as the valve is closed. It’s a very fresh approach to position a camera (or even small LED lights, for that matter) without having to tear locations apart or resort to Magic Arms and Croco clamps.We shot some short car scenes for the NBC Universal TV series “GRIMM” as well …
