Welcome to another video installment of my trip to the Derby City Classic.
Episode 2 focuses on the "Jimmy Jib" boom camera that Accu-stats uses on some of the larger tournaments it covers.
It was the 1st time I saw their setup at the TV table and noticed right away the remote controlled camera mounted on a boom. Me being a video geek, wanted to learn more about it. I also thought it was cool how smooth it was being operated.
I asked Julian, who is in charge of it, if I could corral him into doing a interview about the equipment. He was very nice about it and said "sure".
I finally got him before a Scott Frost match and sat down in the drivers seat. It has barbell weights to balance it. When I first lowered it, I used way too much strength and I thought I was going to break it and get banned from the tournament
He was very understanding about it and did not wring my neck for my little "mishap":smile:
So check out my new video and learn about the "Jimmy Jib" and how it is used at the tournaments. Thanks to Pat Fleming of Accu-stats for allowing me access to filming in the TV arena. Sorry, but I do not have a "TV Voice" and do not use a script, so you'll just have to deal with me stumbling along while I"m talking.
