High Shots Photography Halifax 


The rest of my work is here:  High Shots

Today I made a video showing just how it works:      http://youtu.be/P0lAr7RKAvw

 

Basically besides the pole (which is 7 ' tall fully collasped)

it all comes apart to fit in my car.

The base which is sandbagged takes about 5 min to get together.

The pole then slides inside the trypod and we level it with the extendable  legs.

Then we put the camera unit in its place and turn on the the servos and the camera.

We then attach the RCA wire to the unit on the pole and standing on the 3 step ladder we put 

at the desired height.  

 

All this takes me roughly 10 15 mins.  Depending on the slope of the ground and how far I have to

lug my gear.  I hook up my monitor and switch on the remote control and I'm rolling.

The monitor looks like this. 
 

 

It works on a 12v batterie or 9 rechargeable AA's  - depending on how on the ball

I am with charging them.

I can Pan , Tilt , Zoom and remote shutter with the Olympus.

I will be able to do 1020 dpi video very soon.  Available in the Halifax

surrounding areas .   My video is here again : http://youtu.be/P0lAr7RKAvw
