“Skyfishing” with a GoPro HERO POV Camera 400+ Feet Up

WARNING: I am getting reports that when flying this thing around trees, you have no control of it. It is very easy to lose your camera so I must advise you practice in a field far away from objects like buildings or trees first. Dave and I made this look easy in the video blog [...]

Vinten Vision Blue Tripod System Review

I am a tripod snob and I am very picky with fluid pan heads.
The tripod pan and tilt head is the most important part of the camera chain, in my opinion. If I put it all together in order of importance I would say, one tripod, two camera, three lens, and four viewfinder. Of course [...]

First of all, I must say I am exhausted. I have not slept for days. Every waking hour I think of shooting something in high speed. All of my attention has been directed at the Vision Research Phantom HD GOLD high speed digital [...]

“The Missing Link” Trailer – New England Mountain Biking Film

This video is also available on Vimeo. Click Here to view it.

I am working on a mountain biking film shot mostly in New Hampshire using high speed cameras. I was inspired by the guys at “Life Cycles” and their artistic style they bring to biking films. I have been granted the opportunity to use [...]

Water at 718 Frames Per Second with Fastec Imaging Cameras

I have been testing out a HiSPEC2 camera from Fastec Imaging that shoots crazy fast frame rates at 720p 16:9. The camera is a small cube with a Nikon mount. It is powered by a 12 volt battery using an inverter and I must have a PC laptop tethered to it at all times to [...]

Fastec Imaging High Speed Fun – Lacrosse Test 718 Frames Per Second

I am having a lot of fun up in New Hampshire testing out a high speed camera. The camera is not very easy to shoot with, no viewfinder, very shallow depth of field and requires a lot of light. Plus, you must have a laptop connected to it at all times! But I love a [...]

Don’t park there! Fun during batting practice at Fenway Park

Back by popular demand… I talk to a camera, introduce a cool TV subject, shrink myself down into a little box in the lower right corner of the screen and explain what is going on.
I work in sports television using sick equipment. Using the insane television gear is often the best part of my job!
I [...]

Going “Green Square” at Fenway Park – Canon 5dmk2 Time Lapse Test

I buy cameras with manual function control. All the cameras I use at work do not have a shred of automatic function on them. I want to be in full control at all times when operating a camera.
But what happens when you cannot be with your camera at all times? What happens when the shot [...]

My Next Camera – The RED ONE – A Video Blog with Raw RED Footage for Download

UPDATED 2/26/10: Red ONE RAW R3D Footage now ready for download at the bottom of the page.
I have been talking about buying a camera for months. I am selling a house to buy it. A $65,000 investment.
I have been looking at the Sony PDW-F800 and was nearly certain that would be the right choice for [...]

Casio EX FC150 Camera – The Poor Man’s High Speed Phantom

A lot of cameras can shoot “time lapse”, but few can shoot “time warp”. That is what the Discovery Channel people like to call it when using digital technology to slow down a high speed event and make the invisible, visible.
I purchased a small Casio point and shoot camera to replace my beat up Panasonic [...]
