HI-POD has introduced the Tournament Van. Armed with 30 HI-PODS, this van is ready to travel and setup 30 HI-PODS at any location in the United States. The tournament Van is Designed to cover Soccer Tournaments or Spring Football Passing League events. The HI-POD Tournament Van includes 30 of the 31 foot X4 units. Each of the X4 units can also be converted to the 17 foot mobile huddle camera system, providing great flexibility of movement for different types of events.

In addition to the ability to get great altitude shots and mobile altitude shots, the HI-POD Tournament Van can also shoot in High Def, create DVDs on the spot and Stream all of the games Same Day. The streaming video can be seen at HI-PODCASTS.COM , and embedded on the host school’s website. Each of the streaming videos can also be watched on cell phones and can be set up as pay per view events, making it possible for the clubs or schools to generate revenue from the streaming.

This past year (2008) Saint Thomas Aquinas HS Football program won the national championship title and ended up as the number one ranked team in the country. St. Thomas head coach, George Smith and staff went looking for an Endzone Camera system at this year’s American Football Coaches Convention.  They settled on the HI-POD Core X4 system.

In addition to the 31 foot quadpod system, they liked the ability to convert to the mobile “line of Scrimmage” or “Huddle Camera” solution with a simple allen key.  The mobile allows them the greatest flexibility, by giving the operator the ability to move at the end of every play, while still elevated. Now during practice we can get elevated shots of the different squads wherever they may be on the field.

In addition to the Camera products, the Saint Thomas Football team acquired the HI-PODCASTER. This streaming game server can be set up as a pay-per-view system that allows the team and school to generate revenue from people watching on the internet and even on their cell phones.

(Dec 5-8, 2008-Lancaster, CA) HI-POD helped USSoccer take its youth Development Academy to a new level. By setting up 31foot HI-PODs on each of the 25 tournament soccer fields, HI-POD delivered stadium altitude shots without the stadium.
The HI-PODs eliminated the labor and safety issues of scaffolding, while adding the flexibility of repositioning the units for the best light.
The entire tournament was shot on high Definition video. For each of the 228 games, Blue ray dvds were created, duplicated and delivered to the head coaches of the respective teams by the end of the 4 day tournament.
Game highlights were also captured and delivered to USSoccer for viewing on the USSoccer website.
The HI-POD Core X4 performed magnificently throughout the tournament, even as constant 30-40 mph winds challenged the HI-POD crew on last day.
