[quote=Anonymous]I have used hipod, and in my opinion, you can do better if you are willing to invest a bit of effort on a diy system. The hipod is expensive, bulky, and a chore to set up. The advantage of it is all the engineering is done for you.

For under a grand, you can put together a decent system using a surveyors tripod, wonder pole, a cheap video camera, and a remote monitor. The wonder pole site has some instructions on adapting their pole to a surveyors tripod very simply. The drawback to a system like this is you won't have tilt capability, but with careful setup you won't need it for basic coverage. Be sure to choose your camera carefully to get one that can be controlled via a remote. Typically, the ones that are controllable via smart phone perform poorly in the field in my experience. They are just not reliable beyond a few feet.

If you have a bit more money to spend, a radio controlled motorized gimbal atop the pole provides the ability to pan, tilt, and with a remote camera interface, zoom. This is basically what pro companies are using.[/quote]
