Hmmm, in that case I’m lost. Sounds a little like a browser bug which the video player I’m using hasn’t corrected for but I could be entirely wrong. If anyone else is having similar problems it would be handy if you let me know so I can look into it further. I’ll need detailed info. on exactly what browser version you are using and what operating system you are running as both IE6 and IE7 are functioning fine for me on the six computers I’ve tried it on so far.
Ryan,
I can’t replicate this problem on my computer <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="
” title=”Sad” />Can you see all the other flash videos I’ve posted recently? If you can only see a few it would be handy to know which they are so I can corner the problem.
EDIT: This next clip may work …

Ryan,
Damn it, sounds like I’ve mucked something up then. I’m guessing this is a bug in Internet Explorer that I haven’t come across before.
I’ll look into it later. In the mean time you’re stuck with using anything but Internet Explorer.

Four shots for the whole game!
We apparently only got 15 shots on the Bullfrogs which isn’t too good either. Unfortunately most of my shots were collected by Bullfrogs players blocking the path to the net or they narrowly missed the goal by about 4m or so <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/sad.gif" alt="

Ryan,
Those dangler thingies are a bit too expensive to have just for a camera unfortunately.
Here’s a demo of the ultimate in on rink video coverage <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="

[/quote:3ad0ngj0]
yes, that is true …… well … no goalie cam tonight then. I’m a little confused about how I missed that bit, must be suffering brain fry, I spent this afternoon reading a bunch of papers on pyrazine bridged trinuclear zinc(II) compounds
I think Jaimee has one of those, if so I’ll see if she minds me sticking it in there.
[align=center:3ad0ngj0]Here's a video of a helmet cam on a player. Looks pretty good, although their camera equipment is probably a lot fancier.

and attached you camera to the reverse side of that???ie the part closet to the body???[/quote:60w1zfmw]
Yep, that would be doable, not sure how good the view would be, but no harm in trying. Should be pretty well protected behind your ‘dangler’. Come see me after intermediate practice tonight and we can give it a test run – will need to sort some way of getting it to sit in position though … string around your neck?
Ryan,
Awesome video!
That’s totally doable, but not sure how long my camera will last unless the goalies don’t mind a big ass tupperware container stuck to their head. It’ll depend who’s reffing at the time too as some of them may not approve of it (dangerous equipment and all that).
If anyone has a really small camera they don’t mind donating for the cause I’d love to try it. In the mean time I’m going to work on uber protecting the existing camera.
Does anyone have a spare sheet of polycarbonate plastic lying around? The acrylic cover we’re using at the moment really isn’t up to scratch and isn’t going to take more than a single shot to destruct it. A sheet of +3mm thick polycarb oughta do it I think. I’ve got some polystyrene to pack around the camera itself now too which should help somewhat.

I plan to use the ultra hi-tech method of strapping it on with packing tape.

"Macca":1fdbg0fu wrote:Just a thought. How about taking the camera out of the net and mounting it on the outside of the glass facing the net. That way you can still see the goals and also get a wider view of whats happening in the attacking zone on the lead up to the goal being scored.
[/quote:1fdbg0fu]That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing up till now. Except I’ve been standing there waving the camera round aimlessly and zooming in on occasion.
Coming soon to the leading website about ice hockey in Dunedin … helmet cam!

I think it would work well not so much as a net cam but a shot cam sitting on top of the cross bar. Just a thought.[/quote:38n2pa3f]Yeah, fisheye would be good. But I don’t know of any mega cheap cameras with fish eye lenses. Feel free to volunteer one for the purpose <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="
” title=”Smiley” />We looked at attaching it to the crossbar last night but didn’t have any convenient way to do it without it potentially falling out of position. I think we’d need some sort of bracket to attach it to the crossbar. If anyone has any good (ie: minimal effort) ideas on how to do this please post here with your suggestions <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif" alt="
” title=”Smiley” />Ryan,
This thing worked so well I’m now chickening out of sticking it on a goalies head for the time being too. Or if it is on a goalies head, it’ll be inside the protective casing which could be a little gumby and awkward.
So sorry Aaron, no goalie cam tonight. I’ll try strapping it to my own head tonight though and see how it goes. But I suspect it’ll be just a big motion blur.
Ryan,
