Wired Kayaker Video – Scooping Herring

7 Comments

Back in April I went to the 4th Annual Scoop the Herring event at Omega Pond in East Providence. The Event is organized each year by the Ten Mile River Watershed Council. While I was there I filmed a bunch of things and I took a bunch of photos. It took me forever to do it but I did manage to pull together a six minute video about the day. You can read about the day on this post: Scoop the Herring Day.

I finished this video and posted it because tomorrow I am headed over to Omega Pond again for the 3rd Annual Roger Williams Paddle. I’ve attended each one so far and filmed each one as well. I didn’t get last year’s video made though. I’m still so behind. I will eventually make the video.

Tomorrow I’ll be using two Kodak PlaySport HD Digital Video cameras. I will also be using two Xshot Kayak Mounts and two Shots in order to film the event. I look forward to see how these devices all work together. I will try and get that video for it up much quicker.

Disclosure: I was given the Two PlaySport Cameras from Kodak and the Two Xshot Kayak Mounts and Xshots from Xshot.

Thank you Kodak
Photo-A-Day #1893

I am so excited to announce that today I received two Kodak PlaySport Waterproof HD Digital Video Cameras. These were provided to me for use at the Roger Williams Paddle that will be taking place July 17th in Providence, RI. I’ll be using those cameras along with my XShot Kayak mounts too.

I am very very excited about using these cameras. Not only do they do 720p video but they also take 5MP stills as well. That is great when I am kayaking and instead of taking out a second camera to take stills I can capture them with the digital video camera. This will be so much fun. So far I’ve only taken them out of the box, read the instruction books, set the date and started charging them. So yeah I guess I have done a bit already. I will be practicing with them so that I am ready to use them to record an interview with Jennifer Cisney from Kodak. She is going to be at Evo’10 Conference. We’ll be talking about the PlaySport and the upcoming Kayak trip.

I’ll be talking about these cameras often so know that I received them free of charge and all opinions expressed are mine alone including my impressions while using them. I’ll also be making videos with these cameras and so look for this graphic at the end of each video. Also take a look at KODAK online and connect with the great people in KODAK Social Media (Kodak on Facebook).

This video was shot with a Kodak PlaySport

So, thank you Kodak and especially Jennifer and Tina who are working with me.
