Video rigs for small cameras in abundance at CES
One of the things that most stood out for me at CES 2010 was not any of the new products launched, but the sheer number of people shooting video now and the massive array of ingenious rigs that are out there for small cameras.
I saw this impressive iPhone setup doing the rounds that gives audio inputs and a wide angle lense but didn’t have time to stop and have a chat.
Thankfully Gizmodo has done a great little roundup of all the mutant camera rigs walking the show floor and it makes very interesting reading for anyone wanting to equip journalists withe the tools to create good looking and - just as importantly - sounding videos.
This is just a small selection of the multitude of video setups I saw around CES which just goes to show, if you’re not producing video for your stories then you are going to get left behind very quickly this year.
Trained as a sound engineer, I stumbled in to text journalism, but knew it wasn't really me. Then I found video.
