Check out the HI-POD X3 (THE 31 FOOT UNIT)

The new X3 is a 31 foot HI-POD with a 7 inch LCD monitor that also has a built in Harddrive. This high capacity hard drive can record each play separately, converting every play into a separate file. Each play is time stamped making it very easy to organize by date and time.
The Game Recorder is fast enough to instant Replay on any play. The Hard Drive is big enough to store the entire season. You can view footage on the 7 inch screen, and you can output to a TV, VHS or Projector. When you connect the Game Recorder via USB to a computer, the Game Recorder acts like a hard drive- making it easy to transfer footage. You can also copy footage to an SD card. Imagine trading game film on an SD Card. HI-POD (Elevating your Game)

HI-POD shoots Grammys for CBS.com live webcast

When CBS.COM decided to webcast live from the Grammy's Red carpet, they chose to do it with HI-PODS. The available space at these sort of events is very limited because every news organization out there wants to be part of the Red Carpet coverage. So they all get packed in. And that limits the choices for what can be done, camerawise.

The HI-POD made it possible to get above the crews on either side of the CBS.com team and around the ubiquitous light stands that could have easily blocked the view of the Red Carpet.

By using two HI-PODS (each pointing at the opposite ends of the red carpet) the CBS.com crew was able to capture celebs arriving and walking down the carpet towards the CBS position with one HI-POD, and also focus on them as they posed for the still camera gallery at the opposite end of the runway with the second HI-POD.

These two HI-PODs shared the booth space with the main CBS.com interview camera and provided the necessary cutaway shots needed to give ambient excitement to the webcast.
