6 Ways Technology Impacted The Football We Know...
There are pros and cons to everything, and the same can be said about technology in football. Some may argue that technology has made it easier to analyze game film and create strategies that are effective, while others may say that technology has made games more complex. Today, let's talk about the ways technology has impacted football: 1. Live Replay One of the most instrumental ways technology has impacted football is by allowing teams to replay live action on the sidelines, and even ‘challenge’ calls. The NFL was one of the first to introduce instant replay in 1986 and several other leagues have followed suit, such as the NBA and MLB to name a few. By having multiple angles available, it live replay has become one of the most powerful tools in sports today. For example, you can get a sideline angle, above field angle, or even an end zone camera angle. 2. Sports Analysis From the youth to pro levels, football is more competitive than it has ever been. Many attribute this to more sophisticated training and technology. With technology such as end zone camera systems providing an amazing viewpoint, the analysis of plays and performances has become a game-changer for the sport. This has deepened analyses of the game, bringing a level of science to football that has been unheard of in previous years. 3. Helmet Cameras These cameras have been used since 2002 in several sports, but they were most prevalent in football. These cameras provide fans with a unique perspective of the game, but they also allow players to review a non-traditional angle of game film. 4. Player Tracking Player tracking software is used in pro leagues and now even youth leagues of many sports. A key benefit of this software is that it provides a 360-degree view of the game and allows coaches to monitor the action & full performance of players. It can measure distance, acceleration, velocity, and much more. 5. GPS As a subset of player tracking noted above, GPS devices can be used to monitor players' positioning, track their speed, acceleration, and team performance in various scenarios. With this type of software, it allows coaches to focus on both team performance and individual player performance. 6. Virtual Reality Virtual reality software is used to help players prepare. Players can prepare for practice, trainings, games and more. Now players can go through ‘real’ situations they may face in a game to be prepared should that situation arise during practices or games. It can also help players visualize the game and see things from a different level. Technology has helped football, but it's also changed the way the game is played. It is now an important part of football and all other sports. Hi Rise Camera offers video technology that is a first-in-class solution for capturing aerial and high-angle footage for all sports.

Shopping for Endzone Cameras: What You Need to ...
Choosing a good endzone camera is critical, as it will allow you to capture the game film you need. Now, this can be easier said than done as there are many things that you have to consider. To help you out, we thought it would be useful to put together a brief article on this subject. If this is something that you want to learn more about, read on as we discuss a few key things to consider when you’re shopping for endzone cameras. Viewing Monitor While it may not be the first thing you think of when you are looking for an endzone camera, it’s important to have a good viewing monitor. When you are shooting video footage, you will be following the action down below using your viewing monitor. It’s important to have a monitor that displays high quality HD video and just as important, has both HDMI-In and HDMI-Out ports. This is important so that you can easily live stream games and also use systems like Hudl Sideline. Video Camera This is probably the most obvious. A key thing to consider when purchasing a video camera tower is the camera itself. Sony makes many great model video cameras that span from consumer-grade to professional level. The great thing about Sony video cameras is the optical zoom quality on most all models. For example, the Sony CX405 model video camera has a 60x optical zoom. To put this in perspective, if you are approx. 110 yards away from someone and zoomed in, you would be able to see the sweat on their forehead. That’s zoom functionality for you! The Sony CX405 video camera currently comes included with the Hi Rise Camera Sky 250ET model tower. Design Features The design features go hand-in-hand with customer usability. Ask yourself, “do the product features make it easier to use the endzone camera system?”. For example, are you able to place the handle bracket at a comfortable location on the pole when filming?; If you are playing an outdoor sport on grass, can you stake the tower in the ground (and have the option to anchor bags at other times)?; Do you have the option to film standing up and/or sitting down?, these are a few things to consider about the design features. Additionally, you want to ensure your endzone camera system is portable and built with high quality parts so that you can easily use it for practices, home games, away games, and tournaments if needed. Weight The weight of endzone camera systems can vary considerably, so check the specifications of individual models to see how much each weighs, and how easy they are to pack and carry. A good rule of thumb to follow is to keep the total weight of the camera under 50 pounds for optimal portability. Battery and Charging Options Confirm that your endzone camera system can fully be run off of battery power and none of the electronic components are required to be plugged in to a wall socket to work. Once that’s confirmed, you want to ensure you know how many batteries are included with your system and the approximate charge time that is needed to get your batteries to full charge. This is important information to have to ensure you include an appropriate amount of time in your planning for game day. Stability When choosing a video camera tower, look for systems that have independently adjustable legs and a full range of anchoring equipment. This will ensure that the camera can be level on uneven ground and can be securely anchored. We hope this article proves to be useful when it comes to helping you choose the best endzone camera. Hi Rise Camera offers first-in-class solutions to capture stunning high-angle and aerial footage. If you are looking to buy an endzone camera system, check out what we have to offer!

Durability in Endzone Cameras: Why Is It Import...
When it comes to game film, there are many things you need to consider. For example, ensuring you can film during inclement weather, filming from the right location, ensuring batteries are charged….and with that, you need to ensure you're using the best equipment, right? As mentioned previously, dealing with inclement and nasty weather can be quite challenging; we recommend using an endzone camera system that will provide you with the HD video footage you need while still being user friendly, stable, and durable. Today, we'll be focusing on the durability of an endzone camera system and why it's an important factor. Let's take a look! When it comes to durability, many endzone camera systems are made with aluminum, but the real question is: are these endzone cameras and sports video towers built to last? As such, you need to ensure that you're investing in a quality brand that will provide you with a warranty that reflects the quality they promote. For example, Hi Rise Camera includes a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty on the Sky 250 series towers, which is top in the industry. You want to ensure that the company stands behind their products. The tripod supports the entire endzone camera system structure, so it is important that you have a strong base. A key part of this are the legs. You'll find that the legs are usually made of aluminum or steel, which allows them to be sturdy, strong, and durable. The downside of using steel is rusting and also the material weight. Having a portable endzone camera, means that it is lightweight while also being very well made with high quality parts. When you're looking at the construction of these legs, you'll want to ensure that there are adequate anchoring options. Some endzone camera systems only provide anchor/sandbags, which can be problematic if you want to stake your system into the ground. With endzone camera systems like Hi Rise Camera, you have the option to stake your tower directly into the ground and/or use anchor/sand bags to provide stability on other surfaces. Another key consideration when it comes to endzone cameras are the waterproof elements, which are important for the overall durability of the endzone camera. Many endzone cameras have a waterproof casing that prevents the camera from being affected by rain, snow, sleet, and other nasty weather conditions. In short, you want to ensure that your electronic devices (including ports) are covered. Hi Rise Camera offers Electronics Rain Gear to cover the camera shield, batteries, viewing monitor, remote control, and ports. If you find yourself in need of an endzone camera, make sure to research the durability and protection of the tower and individual components. Here at Hi Rise Camera, we offer a first-in-class solution for endzone camera systems and sideline video towers. Learn more about our Hi Rise endzone cameras and how we can help you today!

5 Quick and Easy Tips for Sports Photography Ne...
If you love shooting sports, you’ll find that it can be a lot of fun, but you may also run into some challenges. It’s easy to blame your equipment for blurry images, but in many cases, it’s how you use it that matters. There are plenty of things you can do to take professional-looking photographs, even if you have an entry-level camera. Follow these tips for great sports and action photos every time: 1. Scout it Out First When you’re at the game, do some work before you even get to your seat. Take a look at the action from the bleachers and see what kind of angles are available to you. Even if the seats you’re in are great, it doesn’t hurt to have a couple of backup options. Depending on the sport, you may want to get shots from the sideline, mid-court, or end zone. Also, keep an eye on the field/court to see if there’s anything happening that you haven’t seen yet. If you’re keeping an eye out, you’re more likely to get to a good position when the action starts. 2. Shoot from Multiple Angles Once the action has started and you’ve found a good angle, don’t stick with it. Move around a bit to get different viewpoints and different perspectives. Zoom in or out as necessary. Get close-ups and wide-angle shots. If the team is trying to gain control of the ball, try to position yourself, so you’re shooting from the opposite side that they’re coming from. If a player is approaching you, don’t just shoot them in profile – get a shot of them coming right at you for a more dramatic effect. If you’re shooting for a more team effect, zoom out to get that wider shot to capture the entire play. When shooting with a sports video tower, these type of shots are much easier to get. 3. Pay Attention to Light When shooting action photos, you’re going to want to use a long shutter speed, so you’ll need plenty of light. If you’re shooting outdoors or in a gym with a lot of light, you should be fine. If you’re in a place with poor lighting, use a higher ISO setting to make the camera more sensitive to light. If the picture still isn’t bright enough, get closer to your subject. 4. Shoot in Burst Mode If you think you’re going to get a great shot, but you’re not sure, put your camera into burst mode. This will allow you to take a lot of images and hopefully end up with the perfect one. It’s definitely worth the effort if you want to get some great shots. This is especially true if you are shooting from an elevated angle with a sideline video tower or end zone camera system. 5. Catch The Play & Emotion If there’s one thing to keep in mind when you’re shooting action photos, it’s focus on the game and try to catch the multiple big plays and emotion of the players, coaches, and fans. If you see something that you want to shoot, go ahead and take your shot. Be Prepared for Anything Shooting sports or any other kind of action can present a challenge for novice photographers and videographers. If you’re like most people, you may not have the newest and latest professional-grade camera, but you can still get those professional-grade shots. The key is to be prepared for anything and follow the tips above, so you can be sure that your sports photos and videos will look good.

When you are using your sideline video tower, most companies will ship it to you the way in which you should store your parts in the bags/cases. If you always put them back in the bags after use (and charging your batteries), you should be all set. 2 - Test Your Tower At Practice Before The Game If you can, make it a point to run test recordings at a few practices. Make sure everything is working, and you're comfortable with the set-up and take-down of the tower. This will help you during your game day, so you're not scrambling to figure out what you're doing. Tips for Recording 1 – Location, Location, Location! Depending on the sport you plan to record, will determine the best location for your sports video tower in most cases.

Why Do All Good Teams Insist on Having Game Film
Whether you are an athlete, a parent of an athlete, or a team coach, you likely know about game film. Many teams invest in a sideline video tower or endzone camera system to make sure they capture the game in detail. Athletes typically watch game film to improve their individual game and also watch it with the coach/team for game prep, strategy, etc. But what really is the point of game film and why should every sports team use them? Read on and find out: What Is Game Film? Game film is video footage of an entire game or a part thereof. This footage can be useful to a wide variety of players, coaches, and the team. Game film is usually recorded by one of the team's coaches or team managers, that is reviewed after the game by the team, coach, or even individual players. From a college recruiting standpoint, players can also use game films (or clips from the game film) to send to college scouts and even make highlight videos. Learning Using Game Film Game film is particularly useful for teaching players and even coach education. Game film can be used as a coaching tool to help players and coaches learn from their mistakes and improve their skills. Players can see the game from a different angle and the break-down sessions with the team are invaluable. Analyzing Games In most leagues, having game film to swap with teams is a requirement. It is so important in fact, that some leagues impose fines on teams that don’t shoot game film. The game film can be used to review the team’s performance, the opponent’s strategy, and the effectiveness of the coach's game plan. Game Prep Another great use for game film is to prepare for the next game. More specifically, having game film of your opponent can allow you to create a strategy to prepare for your opponent. For example, if you see in the game film that the team tends to run specific plays or has a star player that their offense runs through, you can create a strategy to break the play and/or isolate their best player. Player Highlights and College Recruiting The game film can be used in a number of ways. As an athlete, there’s nothing better than getting the big win and making some of your best plays when it counts. Having this captured on video allows players and parents to have those memories forever and just as important, included it in recruiting videos for college scouts. This is where online video platforms like Hudl come into play. Hudl allows teams and players to upload this footage, create highlights, and send that link to their video out to colleges, family, and even post on social media. Game Film Is Crucial to the Team’s Success Team managers and volunteers are often responsible for shooting the game film footage. The team manager/volunteer usually has access to the sideline video tower and/or endzone camera system for recording the game. Having this high angle view is a must-have when you start talking about effective game film. That’s why systems like Hi Rise Camera have become increasingly popular and a must-have for teams.

Why Do All Good Teams Insist on Having Game Film
Whether you are an athlete, a parent of an athlete, or a team coach, you likely know about game film. Many teams invest in a sideline video tower or endzone camera system to make sure they capture the game in detail. Athletes typically watch game film to improve their individual game and also watch it with the coach/team for game prep, strategy, etc. But what really is the point of game film and why should every sports team use them? Read on and find out: What Is Game Film? Game film is video footage of an entire game or a part thereof. This footage can be useful to a wide variety of players, coaches, and the team. Game film is usually recorded by one of the team's coaches or team managers, that is reviewed after the game by the team, coach, or even individual players. From a college recruiting standpoint, players can also use game films (or clips from the game film) to send to college scouts and even make highlight videos. Learning Using Game Film Game film is particularly useful for teaching players and even coach education. Game film can be used as a coaching tool to help players and coaches learn from their mistakes and improve their skills. Players can see the game from a different angle and the break-down sessions with the team are invaluable. Analyzing Games In most leagues, having game film to swap with teams is a requirement. It is so important in fact, that some leagues impose fines on teams that don’t shoot game film. The game film can be used to review the team’s performance, the opponent’s strategy, and the effectiveness of the coach's game plan. Game Prep Another great use for game film is to prepare for the next game. More specifically, having game film of your opponent can allow you to create a strategy to prepare for your opponent. For example, if you see in the game film that the team tends to run specific plays or has a star player that their offense runs through, you can create a strategy to break the play and/or isolate their best player. Player Highlights and College Recruiting The game film can be used in a number of ways. As an athlete, there’s nothing better than getting the big win and making some of your best plays when it counts. Having this captured on video allows players and parents to have those memories forever and just as important, included it in recruiting videos for college scouts. This is where online video platforms like Hudl come into play. Hudl allows teams and players to upload this footage, create highlights, and send that link to their video out to colleges, family, and even post on social media. Game Film Is Crucial to the Team’s Success Team managers and volunteers are often responsible for shooting the game film footage. The team manager/volunteer usually has access to the sideline video tower and/or endzone camera system for recording the game.
