    Looking for anyone to help with a concept I have. I am a videographer and I want to make a camera rotate 360 degrees around an object. The camera has to be very stable. Ideas are more than welcome. Thanks

    Is there a reason why you wish the camera to orbit the subject instead of the traditional method of having the subject rotate on a platform?

    How big of an object? What is the background? If the background is important (all 360 degrees) than ignore my next suggestion. How about a stable camera mount with the object on a turntable? The camera will definitely be stable and this would be easy to accomplish.

    Yes there is a very good reason I need the object to sit still. I do food videos where I need to be pouring liquid into a cup and need the camera to spin around it. I am doing it now with a tripod head rigged up but I need it to be much more stable.
