Using a Rubber Band for a Smooth Pan Shot

You can’t get more low-budget budget than this. Try this “rubber band” maneuver with your tripod. A very simple idea that can add production value to your shot.

I’ve heard of the rubber band trick before… I’ve never tried it though because I’ve had good tripods.
You’re second major investment after the camera, ought to be a solid tripod.
This would also help any unwanted noise from physically touching the tripod handle.
It looks like this video was removed. I’d love to see it. Is it hosted on another service?
Morbid curiosity – I really wanted to see what this was all about. Synopsis anyone?
YouTube the following… “rubber band smooth pan”
