for the “Help for Heroes” 2009 Charity Single “We will remember them” was shot on a combination of EX3’s, Canon 5D MkII and of course Stuart's Toshiba HD polecam rig using the Flash XDR.

The event was covered by Outside Broadcast with 8 camera's and 1 polecam (Alexander de Backer) for the new (not yet available) DVD and a Christmas special for the German TV of the concert.
One of the main reasons that the Polecam was used was that in Germany they are very considered about the visibility of the musicians for the audience and wouldn't allow a regular crane to be set up (blocking the view). So Alexander had to prove to the organisation that he could deliver the goods with the Polecam system...

A compact, affordable and energy-efficient solid-state 1080-line HD capture system will be demonstrated by Polecam on stand B10 at BVE 2010 (Earls Court, London, February 16-18). Centred on the proven Polecam man-carriable production jib, the system incorporates Panasonic's new AG-HCK10 1080i camera and AGHMR10 ultra-compact solid state recorder as part of a complete package.

Polecam USA and Camera Support are co-operating in a demonstration of the latest 3D high-definition production gear at Camera Support's headquarters in Burbank. The 3D Technology Promo is scheduled for Saturday January 23.
