HI-POD X2 Goal Camera Captures Adidas Global Soccer Tournament USA Finals
Venice Beach, CA (PRWEB) February 28, 2006 -- Adidas picked Los Angeles as its only U.S. stop in its global +Challenge soccer tournament, where some of America's best youth soccer stars competed for a trip to the +Challenge global finals at the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Berlin. HI-POD was there to capture it all.
On its way from stops in Rio de Janeiro and Mexico City, the Adidas worldwide youth soccer tournament stopped in Los Angeles on February 25 and 26, pitting more than 30 teams against each other in a two-day tournament. Venice Beach was a perfect location. Now the challenge was to film it. HI-POD's new X2 GOAL CAMERA unit was up to the task.
The HI-POD X2 extends up to 25 feet. It provides a stadium-like shot without a stadium. The unit provides total touch control of pan, tilt, and zoom, as well as an eye level LCD monitor so that even a novice can operate the unit in less than 5 minutes. And now that the HI-POD X2 has introduced its patented spring-retraction handle mechanism, the system just got even easier to use.
The HI-POD X2 has also introduced a new dolly base that not only provides excellent stability but also makes for easy transport. The base is also cleverly designed so that it separates for easy packing in any size car trunk.
During the tournament, the HI-POD was strategically placed for the setting sun. With the sun behind the HI-POD X2, very little exposure problems occurred, which made for an easy shoot.
HI-POD has uploaded the boys under 14 finals match, and the boys under 16 finals match. Check them out on the HI-POD website.
The winning teams will now go on to represent the United States at the global finals in Berlin in July during the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

Which NFL CB's Are Worth The Effort Of Obtaining Football Tickets?
Can CB's move football tickets? We think there are a few who can, and we're going to continue our positional rankings with that crucial position today. CB's are invaluable, and many General Managers will rank them just behind QB?s on the overall hierarchy of positions on a football team. A good CB can not only take away a team's best WR, but shut down an entire half of the field. This can seriously limit a team's game plan, and inhibit its ability to spread the ball around. Below are the top 5 CB's in the NFL today, and as always, more than pure statistics have been considered.
