Video Cameras

We use all digital equipment. We can video in either 4:3 standard aspect ratio or 16:9 wide screen aspect ratio for Standard Definition output. Our cameras are capable of High Definition (60i) and we have videoed Jumpers in HD producing stunning video. We anticipate offering High Definition DVDs in the near future.

We have two primary digital video cameras - a Canon XL1s and a Canon HX-A1. These advanced technology, 3-CCD MiniDV cameras use image stabilized fluorite lenses.

We use a Bogen-Manfrotto tripod with a fluid head. This system gives us a steady platform to follow the horse and rider when fully zoomed with our 20X lens.



Digital Still Cameras

We use Nikon digital still cameras - a Nikon D70 DSLR and a Nikon D80 DSLR.
