I was at a soccer game last week and saw someone with an expensive-looking get-up to record the game.
It was a very tall--VERY TALL--pole--maybe 10-12 feet high, could have been a little higher. At the top was the camcorder he was using, with the view screen panel extended out--might be one like mine where you HAVE to do that if you want to record anything. Obviously, he wasn't looking at that tiny 2.7" screen or so at the top. Instead, he had a tablet about 5½ feet up, where he could easily see it in front of him, and just turned the pole to match the action on the field on the 7" screen or however large it was.
I thought it looked really cool.
So can I make something like this?
8-foot pole (preferably telescoping, for ease of transport).
Some TV type screen attached
I guess a remote control to at least turn the camcorder on and off (I suppose that is related to my camcorder). Would also like the ability to zoom in/out, if beggars can be choosers.
I either hand-hold (now, since somebody else is doing the "official" one), use a 60" monopod (I could buy a 72" monopod, and that might satisfy me for now), or tripod (I am not using this right now for school season).
Is there some way to do this easily? And inexpensively?
