Question:

How do you move your camcorder around?

HiI've been trying to work out how you're supposed to move the camcorder around without having any camera shakeDo you need a tripod on wheels to do this? Please help.

Answer:

TripodTripod with wheels - preferably air-filled, but not totally pumped upTripod on a flat-bed handcart with wheels - preferably air-filled, but not totally pumped upThe wheels being slightly flat allows them to roll over small stuff withut bumping/shaking too muchSpiderBraceCamera crane or JibDolly track and flat-truck set upSteadiCam/GlideCam device - either handheld or mounted to a wearable vest/harness systemWhat is your budget?
Any type of insulation will work, its more about how you are going to place it that becomes the issue, and how you are finishing the inside faceYou need to watch out for fixing into the metal and damaging any water protection it has, or creating any conditions in which you trap water in the construction so as to set up conditions to cause corrosion.
Good insulation is the best kind.
My dad says they make a product that is sprayed on, that way you dont have to mess with rolls and have to cut in special pieces that are labor intensive, considering there is framework inside of the walls.
It doens't really matter that your building is metal, insulation works in the same way everywhere! I would suggest a double wall, with a cavity in between the two wallsSince its metal, you can polish the inside of the cavity to make the metal shiny - this reduces heat loss by radiation, just like in a thermos flaskFilling the cavity with a foamy sponge will reduce heat loss by convection (the foam prevents air currents being able to move), and choosing a foam with a high specific heat capacity will reduce heat loss by convection.
