Jim Cielencki’s filmer board on Props
Props did a good article about BMX filmers and their filmer boards. Everyone seems to have a different set up, but it’s unanimous that having a filmer board is the way to go. Here’s a photo of mine that I got at the Sunday Skate shop in Buffalo. To read more about my set up then just follow this LINK.
My board was used extensively on Megatour 10, check out our flipbook from the trip.
