Hi my name is Michael Mead,
I'm a photographer and filmmaker
based in Cork in Ireland, and today I'm
looking at the world cam system for Adorama.
The wire cam is great for
getting shots where it might be too
risky, or difficult to fly a drone
through gaps and also where you might
not be able to move steady with a gimbal system.
I've got my brother John here with
me today..
John is a Cork runner and he
also does some biking, so we're gonna see
if we can get some unique shots using
the world cam system John in action.
It's very easy to set up,
once you have your shots planned,
so let's give it a go and
see how we get on.
So we to set up throw up system first
it's gonna be our first job,
we've got to lock the quick grill now
we're going to set up our first anchor point...
we do this by wrapping rope around
the tree, and attaching the carabiner to
the rope...
Next we unwind. drop down to the
next anchor point.
When we are close, we lock the quick reel...
we placed the tightening strap around the
second attachment point, and attached a
large strap carabiner...
now we're going to connect the small
strap carabiner to the
quick reel rope guide...
we need to tighten the strap
by pulling on the end strap.
The last step in setting up the rope system
is mounting the end stops...
the reason we mount the end stops,
is to either derail or stop the unit,
before it reaches the
end of the line,
Now that the rope system is
set up, it's time to mounts the main
unit, we'll insert and connect the battery.
The unit will turn on automatically,
next we attach our camera -
I'm going to use the Sony a 6500 today
the camera and lens combination I have
here are less than a kg, and the system is
rated to 1.5kgs, so it will have no trouble handling
this camera and lens combination.
We will mount the included ball mount, so we can
point camera in any direction.
Now we'll mount our camera on to the
Universal camera screw...
Power on the unit and mount it to the line,
we do this by placing the line under the
two pulleys, and over the drive wheel,
we'll secure the unit by opening the lock
pin, now that the rope and wiring unit are
set we just power on the remote,
and they will pair automatically,
so when you turn on the unit,
the remote is automatically set to normal mode.
We can change the mode by
pressing the mode button in normal mode...
the LED blinks slowly in sport mode, it
blinks fast and in time-lapse mode,
the LED is continuously lit.
Moving the speed with clockwise towards
the yellow arrow, will make unit move
towards the side with yellow direction
marks... when I release the speed wheel the
unit will stop.
I'm going to first set my digital in stop.
I'll move the unit to point I want it to
stop automatically...
I press the end stop button...
I do the same on the other side...
Sport mode is very fast...
Okay we're getting very adventurous now...
we've set up the wire at its full length,
so it's going a whole length of this
path, and we'll see what we get we're
going to try and see if we can follow
John and bike, and with the Wiral so I
control it as he's going down.
So what we found there was that the
wireless went a little bit too slow in
normal mode to keep up with John on his
bike so what we're going to do now is
change the mode, kick it once, and the mode
light will flash faster.... so that means
were in sport mode, and it means a word
will run a lot faster so we can track him better ...
Whoa that thing moves....
Wo ho....here it comes again...
That's fast...
So there you have it...
We'd a lot of fun today using the Wiral
system to come up with some fun and
unique shots.
