Snowboarding camera techniques?

im filming my first snowboarding videos and want to know any basic techniques for taking some killer videos

it looks good when you follow the rider or ride next to him but you must keep a steady shot. on rails stand close to the top and film downward. make sure you just have a variety of shots to keep the video interesting. ive seen kids climb trees for good shots its all about creativity.

I will use it for filming people skateboarding and snowboarding mostly, so i want to be able to buy a lense for it.

Go with Sony — and get a waterproof housing for it. If you can afford it, consider the CX12. If you’re on a tight budget, the models that use Mini DV tapes are usually the least expensive.
For editing Windows Movie Maker (XP and Vista) is a good place to start. Sony Vegas Pro is the high end of the spectrum.
Version 9 will be released next month.

What video camera should i use for high quality snowboard footage?

not too pricey, steady recording, durable, hassle-free

If you are snowboarding at high altitude or plan to fall, you want to stay away from hard drive based camcorders. You should ALWAYS stay away from DVD based camcorders.

That leaves flash memory or miniDV tape. The only way to capture steady video is to not he hand-held. Humans were not built to be rock-steady. Obviously, you cannot use a tripod or mono-pod but you really should try some sort of steadying device… For flexibility, I would suggest either a traditional camcorder with AV-in (the Sony DCR-HC96 was a good one, but no longer manufactured). I didn’t spend much time looking for a camcorder with AV-in for you – not many have this capability, but my thought is you want this feature so can use a helmet cam – that way your hands are free to use for snowboarding.

There is no stabilization available in a consumer camcorder – electronic or optical – that will provide you "steady recording". There is no such thing as a "hassle free" delicate consumer camcorder – or any other electronic device – that you will be taking to the snow (and potentially getting wet). The low-end "waterproof" cams will not provide "high quality", have small lenses and small imaging chips and will result in unstable/shakey video (whether handheld or not).

Camcorderinfo.com may help you find a camcorder in your budget range that has AV-input for the helmet cam…

What Camera Should I Buy To Film Snowboarding?

hey im making a pro looking snowboard video.. i already got a thousand dollar program for editing but i was woundering witch kind of camera i should buy to get perfect quality videos. i have a sony handy cam but its not the quilty im looking for.and yes i use fire wire to upload videos.. price doesnt mtter.. PLZz help. thanks

I don’t know if you want some heavy duty camera or something, but since your snowboarding, I was thinking about buying my self the "Flip Video Recorder" or something in that nature.

It’s like 150$ built in memory about 1GB, so 1 hour of film I guess?

I hear it’s kinda small and has good resolution for its size and price.

Northstar Tahoe Snowboarding action

A segment I shot with my quasi dude brother of daughter Son, hot surfer Adrian “Alien” Ledesma, who flew over from Maui to Northstar for his second time snowboarding. Also some clips from Vans Tahoe Cup. Black Diamonds, second day out! Next day he was off the chart, but since he sprayed my camera with snow and ruined it, there would be no more filming that week. I guess I could thank him for that, as I had to put the camera away and enjoy.
