This is something you have to see..
Barry Bonds broke Henry Aaron’s career home run record, USA TODAY wanted to do something different but also give their readers a memorable feature that captured the moment. This is what they did.. For homerun #756, staff photographer Robert Hanashiro was able to achieve 30 frames-per-second by constructing a three-camera sequence rig consisting of Canon Mark III digital camera bodies (10 fps each); three 600mm f/4 lenses; two sets of MultiMAX radio triggers and cords ; Slik “triple plate” (to mount three cameras/lenses); Gitzo Pro Studex tripod and tripod head; three 10-pound Boa sandbags. How much did everything cost? nearly $50,000 or Php 2,350,000.00 at a P47 to $1 exchange rate and heavy at 175 pounds including the cases. 5 days to setup.. would love to try something like this some day…
