I am honored that my first "official try" at a video tour made the PFRE cut! I have long enjoyed your blog and it's nice to be able to add to the content. One suggestion I would have for anyone considering the one meter slide setup (as referrenced in Paul's post above) is get a heavy tripod such as the Bogen 475B. I have the Bogen 190XB tripod which is great unit for stills and panning. However, with the slide... the camera is hanging a half a meter to the side and can tip easily. (Not what you want to do with the 5D MkII) Needless to say, the 475B is on a UPS truck headed my way this week! :-) I also recommend adding additional weight to the tripod for added stability.
