HI-POD NEWS

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.
