Red Carpet events have been a very popular use of the Hi-pod. anytime there is a big crowd of reporters and it becomes difficult to get a clear shot of the subject, that is when the HI-POD excels. As you can see this shot of Drew Barrymore has a spectacular perspective. It captures the star but also the entire ambience- red carpet the marquee, and the reporters.

But news crews have also discovered the advantages of the HI-POD. All crime scene investigations involve the police establishing a perimeter around the crime scene. This means that no civilians are allowed within that perimeter- that includes the news crews as well. This makes it very difficult for news cameramen to get the shot. that all changes with the HI-POD. Because the HI-POD extends 15 feet above the crime scene, you can get a clear shot of the crime scene.
