Pinzgauer 712m in the City

I thought I might try the GoPro cameras on a "boom-stick" so I grabbed a piece of PVC pipe about 5 feet long and taped the base of the camera mount to the end of it. That worked out really quite well and the view was awesome. The only thing I realized that we will need to work on is a way to know where the camera is pointing give or take while in the truck. A bunch of the video was perfectly sideways as Cameraman Bravo didn't really know what to do with the thing. Oh well it's not half bad for a beginner's experiment! We had a good time and drove the Pinzgauer 712m to the gas station to fuel it up then back to the parking lot to lock the gears in and crawl up on the double stacked 8 inch high planter curb that used to house a huge tree and is now just a ground out stump. Definitely had a great time and Cameraman Bravo is a blast to hang with!

@MrBreadman03 Good idea. I considered that - then I thought about adding a laser pointer to it... same idea in theory but then we know "where" the center of the shot is... give or take. Gotta teach the cameraman to hold er still though. :)

Drill a small hole through the pole near where you hold it parallel to the camera's line of sight. Insert a dowel rod through the hole and you have an crude sight. Good idea with the PVC.

@audiocontr I used Windows Live Movie Maker (I'm using Windows 7 OS). I'll make a video about how I did it and post it up soon for you :D Thanks for watching.

What did you use to put titles on your cast of miscreants? I like the effect
