Professional Broadcast HD Camera Tour

Tom Guilmette is a professional TV cameraman. He uses a $94 700 Sony HDC-910 with a Canon 9.5 mm to 700 mm (75x) F1.7 zoom to cover the Red Sox in America for a living. During one of his lunch breaks, he shot this video which gives us a tour of this impressive camera.

From his blurb on Vimeo:
I shoot the Red Sox for a living in HD. I enjoy working with expensive and state-of-the-art television equipment.
A few people emailed me recently and asked me if I could shoot a video blog of my very expensive HD camera that I use to shoot for the networks at Fenway Park. Well, here you go!
I use a Sony HDC-910 camera head with a 75x (9.5mm to 700mm zoom 1:1.7) Canon HD lens with an optical image stabilizer. The camera head new has a retail price of $94,700.00 and that does not include the viewfinder or the lens! The lens is almost as much! The camera is mounted to a large fluid head on Miller sticks. The fluid head is the Vinten Vector 70 and I would ague that this is the best hard camera pan head ever made.

You can watch the video right here on this page or check it out in Vimeo HD on Vimeo.
