Sony PC series digital camcorders provide the lightness and robustness
necessary for the task, without the videographer having to develop neck
muscles like a weight-lifter. They give a picture quality that
approaches broadcast quality and which until recently was unavailable at
this size and cost. Stills can be "grabbed" into a PC and printed out to
give reasonably detailed prints at normal sizes. Click the "pictures"
link below to view some examples.
The Sidewinder helmet is made in America specifically to carry a Sony
Mini-DV camera.
Tullis has an aiming mark on his visor to help him frame the video
picture, which is subject to his skill in facing the correct direction
to capture the action.
The
footage is edited onto an S-VHS tape and subsequently onto VHS tape
as the music is added. The original Mini-DV tape is archived by us, or may
be purchased by you by prior arrangement at cost .
