versed in the use of the HI-POD. That means you will be responsible for
setting up and taking down a HI-POD. Basic operation includes elevating the
HI-POD to 31 feet, leveling, controlling pan and tilt functions, managing all
electronics (battery, lcd & cables) , and understanding safety precautions.
We will conduct training sessions on Tuesday, 23 and Wednesday, 24 June. Training is a prerequisite to being hired for the job. Lunch will be provided. There is no compensation for training.
In addition to HI-POD operation and maintenance you will also be responsible
for use of a Panasonic AVCHD camcorder. This includes white balance, SD card
management, camera battery management, camera levelling, and sd card
organization as well as obvious zoom / record functions.
Basic knowledge of soccer is a must.
If unfamiliar, please watch some before arriving. You can also watch some
examples at the hi-podcasts.com site. Select the Real So Cal Soccer channel
for examples of tournament footage.
The tournament will pay $150/day. The tournament is 4 days. Meals , drinks
and snacks are covered by the tournament. Training is required because there
is not time to learn on the job.
Please respond with an email and phone number if you are interested in
attending the event.
