There Goes my Hero

Taming the Beast. from Andy Sapp on Vimeo.

Throw out your Hero camera and pick up a ContourHD. Unlike the GoPro the ContourHD cameras actually work.

The ContourHD cameras are simple to setup, easy to operate, and the image quality is superb.

For the shots from Andy Sapp’s car, we utilized the windshield mount kit with the first camera, and the universal mount adapter with a Manfrotto magic arm attached to the roll cage with a Manfrotto super clamp with the second camera. The windshield mount kit suction cup was mounted to the upper windshield and pointed forward at the hood. While the super clamp was attached to the passenger side impact roll cage – then the magic arm attached to the clamp – pointed out the window extending about a foot outside of the passenger side window. Then the universal mount equipped Contour Camera was attached to a camera platform on the end of the arm. The distance outside of the car is what gives the side angle shot of Andy driving such a cool feel. It’s a view that is out of the ordinary and in a location where few cameras have been mounted before (none that I can think of – that’s why I put it there…)

Andy did a nice job syncing and mixing the audio from the two cameras. The split screen works well. So press play and ride along.
