100% out of my element on this one. I'm used to doing feel good ... dare I say "fluffy" kinds of things. I've shot stories like this for other reporters, but never as an "MMJ."
Coastal Marker
I had a stand up that included a pan, but I didn't put it in because I didn't think the package needed it. It kind of felt like a stand-up for the sake of a stand-up (which it was).
Since I was out on my own I adjusted the tripod handle to be angled forward on the opposite side of the direction I was panning. I looped my belt around the handle and slowly pulled on the belt to make the camera pan. I was able to keep my hand low enough that the belt and my hand motion were out of frame and it turned out pretty well, but I quadruple checked that everything was locked down and tight before executing ... making extra sure that I just pull the tripod over.
