(Camp Pendleton Marine Base, CA) The championship football game of the season was played to determine football bragging rights for another year.

HI-POD came down and taped the game with two units: X-2 25 foot end-zone camera, and the mobile X1-P unit. The end-zone camera offered nose-bleed video shots of the game while the X-1P offered line of scrimmage shots 15 feet above the field.

HI-POD once again will unofficially attend the OSCARS . This year, however, HI-POD TV will webcast the event live from behind the OSCARs “concrete carpet”. This parody of the OSCARS Red Carpet coverage, will demonstrate the speed, mobility, altitude and effectiveness of HI-POD products.

Many HI-PODs will be placed behind (and above) the spectator partition, to provide multiple vantage points of the event. The goal is to place two of the 25 foot end-zone HI-PODS behind the spectator fence, to have one mobile 15 foot hi-pod moving as necessary and have one hand-held camera following our commentator as he works the crowd, parodying the OSCARS.

News crews know the advantages of the HI-POD. All disaster and crime scene investigations involve the police establishing a perimeter around the scene. This means that no civilians are allowed within that perimeter- that often includes news crews as well. This makes it very difficult for news cameramen to get the shot. That all changes with the HI-POD. Because the HI-POD extends as much as 31 feet above obstacles and barricades, you can get a clear shot of the news event.

When this house rolled down a hill during a mudslide in Los Angeles, news crews and equipment vans were prevented from getting near the scene due to dangerous conditions. The news team on foot and armed with a HI-POD got the best shot of the incident for the evening’s news broadcast.

On June 7, 2004, well-wishers gathered outside the Kingsley & Gates mortuary for the family memorial service of former U.S. President Ronald Reagan. The Press was on hand, and so was the HI-POD.
