BIRTV 2011 - Wonderlan camera stabiliser and shoulder rigs

By Dan Chung and Sarah Li

Wonderlan rigs are usually to be found on Ebay and are made in China. Offerings to date have usually been of the inexpensive variety. Their stand at BIRTV 2011 was showing their usual range of DSLR rigs as well as a camera stabilizer and a rig for the Panasonic AF100. They seemed pretty unwieldy and somewhat less than inspired. Suffice to say I don’t intend to buy one of these anytime soon.
