it's like a boom fixed on to the car which holds the camera. Then you can use it to do longish exposures with the car moving slowly which gives the impression of high speed.

How is anyone going to learn anything with that attitude?
We might as well not bother with photography at all as all set-ups have been used before?

learn what? to stick a few suckers or magnets on a car with apole/mount to attach a camera. pretty easy to doreally. For automotive work a rig shot is like seeing an image of Buachaille Etive Mor if you are a landscaper.

that does not extend very far so to get the whole car in shot will require an UWA which will distort the hell out of the car. also shopping out those posts will not be easy so you'll have to pic out your points of attachment carefully.

I'm guessing you need a wireless shutter release as well, to operate the camera out on the end of the "rig" ?

A firend regularly uses a "rig" see link
