FLG Quacka Killer Command Post
I have decided to upgrade the FLG duck hunting boat for filming our hunts this year. We do not have a full time huntographer on the FLG Waterfowl Team as of right now so we are prepping the boat and our equipment to film our everyday hunts POV “Point of View” style. I want to mention that we do have scheduled in this season where we will be filming with a huntographer like Opie and PT and whoever else may join us for some great duck and goose hunting in various states including OK, IL, and MI. The FLG Team purchased our filming equipment from B&H PhotoVideo. They have great prices and an awesome insurance program that is hands down the best in the industry. They can provide a wide range of equipment including camcorders, still cameras, tripods, mounts, cables, memory cards and mics.
I am setting up with two GoPro Hero HD wearable underwater cameras. Here are some of the great features of this camera: Up to 1920 x 1080p HD quality video, SD/SDHC memory card slot, 180′ waterproof housing and 5MP still images. With all the various mounts available for these cameras, I will be using them on my retriever while he makes retrieves, on my gun for POV action shots and any other position I might find effective. I am also going to use two DXG 5B1V Sportster HD Camcorders. Here are some of the features of this camera: Up to 1920 x 1080p HD quality video, 128MB Internal Flash Memory, SD/SDHC Expansion Slot, 1/3.2″ 5MP CMOS Sensor, 3″ LCD Display, 4x Digital Zoom, Waterproof up to 10′, LED Video Light, and an HDMI Output to HDTV. One of these cameras will be mounted inside the boat for shooting our conversations and calling techniques. The other will be placed on a tripod behind the boat or blinds for the wide angle shot. I also have one Kodak Playsport Zx5 waterproof/dustproof/shockproof HD video camera that is very compact and portable. It is about the size of most smartphones and I will carry that in my pocket for any random filming I need to do outside the blind where I need something readily accessible.
