Quad-Pods help make your video-photo sessions
unique, creative and lots of fun
.
Adding a few Quad Pods to your existing tools will allow you more freedom and versatility to use filming styles that combines documentary, photo-journalistic, contemporary and traditional photo-videography. You can do the groups in a more lively animated way that plays to video well, which is great for all the candid moments in stills. It's also much more fun and entertaining to participate in.
By adding Photography to my Video Services, I added $35,000 to my income in 2006. Tom Barrera, Wedding Stories Photo-Videography.
How can you frame your still shots without having to look into the digital cameras viewfinder?
By having both cameras side by side on the Quad Pod Platform, you can adjust the framing of your still camera to be a little wider than what you see through the video camera LCD monitor. You can also shoot in higher megapixles to allow for cropping if necessary.
Can you manually focus and zoom the still camera while shooting video?
You can. Your left hand grips and shoulder strap supports the Combo Platform while your right hand can zoom, focus and shoot. Depends on the still camera, but auto focus and program settings are most convenient and work fine.
Can I hook up remote controls?
There are so many cameras. Depends on the camera. Our original Quad Combo was designed with Sony video and still cameras that have small lanc remote controls.
They work perfectly but only with Sony products. It is possible to custom configure other remote's.
What if the Video Camera doesn't have an LCD screen like the Canon Xl's?
We have recently designed the Quad Pod HD for the canon and other similar video cameras. It has a larger footprint for bigger QR plates and you can mount a small external LCD to the Quad. Although the viewfinders on the XL's aren't as large as a typical LCD screen, you can still operate the camera wile using the Quad Pod XL.
A Quad Pod Combo can go where 2 people can't. Try getting a photographer and a videographer together in a horse and buggy. Or cover all the reception festivities without getting in each others shots.
Photography and Videography working together in harmony
.
Offer your clients photo-videography. It's far less obtrusive on them, the wedding party, family and guests.
More and more brides want everyone to enjoy the day, not be controlled by photographers and videographers. There is less competition for attention and better direction of their time and there won't be photographers in and out of all the video moments.
The Quad Pod "All in One" adds an extra center mount so that the unit can double as a regular Quad Pod. When you want to go into photo-video mode, move the video camera to the left mount and add your still camera to the right mount. Now adjust framing and you are ready to film video and take photographic stills at the same time all on the fly or from a tripod. Add an optional ball head
for more photo versatility.
You can shoot video and take digital stills on the fly with the Quad Pod Combo. Easily mounts to most tripods* or go mobile smoothly and quickly.
