HI-POD MOBILE CAPTURES LAPD MAYDAY SKIRMISH 07

To test out the latest HI-POD develpments, we used the HI-POD MOBILE X2 (with new dolly) to follow the Los Angeles May Day march. This a challenging event. The HI-POD user walks with the large crowd thru the downtown streets of Los Angeles. With the introduction of the new HI-POD DOLLY, Our operator was easily able to walk and operate an elevated 15foot HI-POD in the middle of the huge crowd.

The march eventually devolved into a major LAPD smackdown, with rubber bullets being shot into the crowd to disperse it.

Our operator was on the scene to capture great shots with the HI-POD X2 (and new dolly). The dolly made it very easy to move the hi-pod (even when elevated), to locations to get a good shot, and to get away from the police and crowd.

HI-POD Re-introduces the X2 MOBILE

The X2 mobile is now truly mobile. By introducing a detachable dolly, the x2 mobile no longer intimidates anyone. One of the issues we discovered over the years is that everyone loves the X2 mobile but they don;t want to carry it.

The x2 mobile is unrivalled at capturing line of scrimmage footage for sporting events. It allows the user to capture footage from 15 feet above the field and move with the play. Because the HI-POD MOBILE user's camera is elevated 15 feet, the shots are never obstructed by someone walking in front of the camera. Also another safety feature is that the user does not have to get right on the line to get the shot. The user can easily stand 10 yards behind the players get the shots and never be in harms way.

Now with the HI-POD dolly, the user can comfortably cover the entire football field multiple times in a night without working up a sweat. The user can even move the unit while fully elevated. Very Cool.

The mobile HI-POD and dolly will be available this season for rental during football season for all teams, schools, and clubs in Southern California.
