xcerlerator Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 i was wondering how you tape ride footage do you just hold tight? or do you have a special camera strap or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I use a lipstick camera for POV's and for my regular handycam I have some special straps that I have developed so that it becomes a permanent fixture of my hand. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasters 4 me Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I noticed that people were talking POV of Sheikra. Did you ask and they let you or did you have to get permission from the park manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 ^ I don't know about anyone else who got footage, but we are meeting with the PR dept this week to film on the ride. --Robb "We went through the proper channels." Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 I noticed that people were talking POV of Sheikra. Did you ask and they let you or did you have to get permission from the park manager? Personally I ask the ride ops everywhere I go. My cam is secured around my arm and they are nice enough, some are, to give you the go head some times. Only park I had a problem w/ is PKD one of the ops told me I can take my camera on but I cant record. I was thinking to myself whats the difference!! But I didnt want to risk anything so I didnt record, and this was riochet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexxweb Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 I never ask permisson, I just hide my camera as best as possible and film away! The only ride I keep getting busted on for filming is that damn cat in the hat! 8) Lexxweb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemmy Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 Heh, I got busted in '04 for taking photos. They stop the ride, say "No flash photography, please" on the loudspeakers, and started it again. Everyone was staring at me. This time around in '05, I took two safely, and one on Mummy. I rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 It depends on the park, the ride and the ride op. For example, this past weekend at SFMW I could take the camera on Roar and Cobra, but not the kiddie coaster. At PGA I had absolutely no problems on any of the rides we rode, same at Bonfante.
