(12/4/04 Cypress College) HI-POD attended the battle of the best in Girls High School Volleyball. The CIF state championship pitted the southern California winners of the top 5 divisions against the winners of the top 5 divisions in northern California.

Because of the limited space of the indoor facility, it would have been problem to set up a crane. The HI-POD’s speed, mobility, and altitude made it the perfect choice to capture beautiful shots from behind the serving line or above the net. At fifteen feet above the game, the tall monopod perspective of the camera was perfect, unlike the flatnes of a shot taken at eye-level.

(10/29/04 Culver City) Smashbox was the site for many of LAFashion week’s events. CSI-Las Vegas star Warrick Brown took some time to check out the newest fashions. One tall beauty stopped him in his tracks. The HI-POD, the Xtreme Camera Monopod can elevate a video or still camera above a fashion show or above a crime scene. Love to see Mr. Brown introduce Ms. HI-POD to the CSI set next season.

(10/24/04 Culver City, CA) Fashion Week returns once again to Los Angeles. Sponsored by Mercedes Benz, the fashion shows took place primarily at Smash Box Studios in Culver City. Hi-POD was invited to the weeklong event to document the different designers and their latest works.

Maryland Heights, Missouri, August 25th, 2004. Snoop Dog, Korn, and Linkin Park packed the house leaving little room for the Projekt Revolution producers to capture crane shots from the center of the floor. That’s when they decided to test out the HI-POD.

Because of the HI-POD’s small profile and its ability to get above the floor, the Projekt Revolution guys were able to capture altitude shots of the stage as well as of the crowd. The HI-POD’s light weight made it possible to reposition the camera and obtain shots from anywhere in the UMB Bank Pavilion.
