sure it's nikon but i've got some stuff made by people other than canon. sometimes i even use it!
seriously, is this rig nuts? I've never seen anything like it.

Pretty crazy set up for sure.

The verticle distance between the two camera bodies looks odd - the photog will surely get back ache from stooping!

Two focal lengths aimed at the same target???

Now I'm not sure but I think maybe there is a chance that good old ankorwatt may just disagree with you. ;D

I doubt it, he'll still be in his summer house. Anyway, looking at the bizarre setup maybe that is temple guy. Wasn't taken in Finland was it ?

I hope he isn't shooting a moving target, or the pole will get in the way.

Let's see. Two camera bodies, two different lenses. Why not two tripods? If for no other reason, if the rig goes down, at least one won't get trashed. Just saying...

I've mounted a point and shoot (I think it was the ELPH 300) on the hot shoe of my 7D to get simultaneous video while I was shooting stills. Not quite the same thing.

The video wasn't great, but it captured the context of the stills.

Perhaps he gives a piggy back ride to another photog for the top camera. ;D

DP Review had an article a few months back highlighting someone doing the same thing at a concert. They had a link to the final product.

It was actually pretty good.

Based on my memory of that article, that was the first thing I though of when I saw the picture of this setup.

That would be my guess as well. One camera probably triggers the other one so that every close-up shot is paired with a bit longer shot just in case the cropping on the close-up isn't quite ideal.
