How to film a net
« on: December 09, 2012, 07:24:11 PM »

Thinking of filming my net for some constructive criticism from forum members.
How do you go about your filming, without damaging your camcorder?
Cheers

Make sure you get it from behind the bowlers arm, and square on the offside. Any other angles are pretty useless!

I put my camera on a chairing the popping crease, worked pretty well, just got to hope for the best!

I use my lumix compact camera on a tripod positioned front on and it's worked a treat.

Like Simmy said though, you need to be careful it's not in the firing line - cameras and cricjet balls are not a good mix ;)
