Video of HI-POD covering SPORTS |
HI-POD covered the USASEVENS Rugby invitational tournament in VEGAS on Valentine’s Weekend. There was a HI-POD covering every game on all 14 fields- Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Each game was immediately converted to dvd- Standard Def and High Definition- for all to see and purchase.
The US Soccer Winter Showcase concluded last week in Phoenix, AZ at the Reach 11 Complex. Once again HI-POD was contracted to shoot all games, deliver goal highlights, fulfill standard def and high Def DVD requests and stream the games on the internet. All 241 games were recorded successfully.
Another sport to find the HI-POD interesting is Water Polo. HI-POD operator Nick Baba is using the HI-POD to shoot all the CIF Water Polo playoffs and break down the games with match analysis software.
HI-POD has arrived in Phoenix with an abundance of units to train operators for the upcoming US Soccer Winter showcase. With as many as 30 units ready to train operators, the HI-POD Van moved into town like a military operation.
“If we use two units to train 30 guys, the process would lack the hands-on that makes for quicker learning” stated HI-POD President Enrique Morales, “and would lengthen the training period considerably. Continued Morales, “In this way we are able to maximize training retention as well as cost per training session.”
The goal of the training was twofold: train operators for the upcoming job (US Soccer ) , but also certify operators in the use of hi-pod for not only soccer but for the other popular sports that occur in other parts of the year. We are preparing operators to become future freelance hi-pod franchisees.
HI-POD has started the season in Los Angeles by sending out HI-POD OPERATORS to cover the best games in southern California. Each game is shot and converted to blue ray DVD as well as standard definition DVD. Watch for the upcoming HI-POD HI-LIGHT SHOW.
HI-POD traveled to Dallas Cowboy Stadium to shoot the Texas portion of the Kirk Herbstreit challenge. All games were shot with the mobile 17ft HI-POD. The HI-POD covered the line- of-scrimage as well as moved to the endzones to cover the redzone action. Check out the game footage at www.hi-podcasts.com
HI-POD shot for St. Thomas Acquinas HS at the Kirk Herbstreit event at Ohio State University. Using the 17 ft mobile unit, we were able to move at will around the field to cover the game from the most optimal position. If the action was at the 50 yard line, we were able to cover from the 50 yard line (17 feet in the air- behind the players and in front of the track). If the action was in the redzone, we were able to quickly cover the action from the endzone. If the action was from the other redzone, we could easily move to the other endzone.
Based on coach interest, HI-POD covered all 4 games of the event at Ohio State University. Check out the game footage at www.hi-podcasts.com
(Westwood, CA- July 16,2009)The Italian Powerhouse Inter Milan scrimmaged with UCLA soccer team in preparation for their big Game with UK giant Chelsea. HI-POD assisted Italian broadcaster RAI TV by providing a 31 foot goal camera for the broadcast. The broadcast was for Inter TV.
(HOME DEPOT CENTER- July 10, 2009-Carson, CA) HI-POD is using its 31 foot Aerial sports camera system to shoot the Finals of the US Soccer Development Academy Season. Just as last year, the finals are being played out at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. Each of the games are shot and scheduled for a next day stream on one of the HI-PODCASTS channels. The channel has also been embedded on the USSoccer site to better accomodate the USSoccer organization and fans. The games are scheduled for 2 hour intervals. Watch and enjoy the best youth soccer in the United States.
(Amherst , VA- 06/27/09) HI-POD covered the entire Amherst Lancer 7v7 tournament. With multiple MOBILE HI-PODS, the California company covered all the games at this largest of 7v7 tournaments in VA. Not only were each of the games shot with the 17foot MOBILE HI-PODs, they were shot in HD and are being streamed on the hi-podcasts.com site. The service demonstrates how versatile a HI-POD can be. Each of these mobile HI-PODS can be converted back to the 31 foot endzone camera HI-PODS. No other system offers this usage versatility and camera type flexibility. The stream is also an example of what schools can setup as well. The hi-podcaster and hi-podcasts.com channel is a product that is sold to schools. And can be setup as a pay per view channel. This can become a great fundraising tool for the school , or sports program.
Teams include: Amherst County HS, Brookville HS, Jefferson Forest HS, George Wythe HS, Park View, Robert E. Lee HS, William Campbell HS, Blacksburg HS, Christiansburg HS, Durham Hillside HS, Middlesex HS, Patrick Henry HS, Radford HS, Gretna HS.
