I’m planning to setup a video camera in the net at tomorrow nights game if I can get some sort of plastic cover for it. Does anyone have some sort of clear polycarbonate cover, or even crappy sheet plastic I could wrap around it to protect it? It doesn’t need to be anything fancy, just enough to absorb/deflect some of the impact. It’s a pretty basic camera but I’d rather not have it broken after a single game! The camera is pretty hardy already, it’s been dropped on the floor, concrete, rocks and a bunch of other things and it’s still ticking so hopefully a puck impacting with it when it’s got a bit of polycarbonate wrapped around it should be okay too. Except I don’t have anything suitable to use, hence am asking for your help

Ryan,
Problem solved. Kara has given me a glistening, clean as a whistle, piece of 5mm thick plastic
” title=”Smiley” /> I think it’s acrylic rather than polycarbonate, but it’s thick enough I think it’ll take a few knocks before breaking. I’m going to mount it inside a tupper ware like container ready for attaching to the inside of the goal.Ryan,
Awesome idea Ryan! It will be a great way to see the angles of all the goals that the Bullfrogs are going to score.

Ryan,
We’re having technical difficulties! Net Cam may not be in operation for tonights game. It turns out that the camera is so old and crappy that it doesn’t support my shiny new 2 GB SD card. Does anyone have a slightly smaller SD card they wouldn’t mind lending? I have a 128 MB one, but it’s only good for 3 mins of footage

” title=”Smiley” /> I still haven’t sorted out how to attach it yet, but I’ve got a roll of packing tape and some string for the purpose.Ryan,

[/quote:1r955slv]Copying video now. Will hopefully get video uploaded to web within an hour or so. If I don’t get it done by then, it’ll probably be up by around lunch time tomorrow.
Ryan,
Video footage from Net Cam is now posted!
http://www.dunedinicehockey.hellyer.kiwi/forum/index.php?topic=968.0%5B/url:l0eu5dpg%5DI think we’ll need to point it towards the center of the ice next time as you can’t see much from the angle we did it at tonight. We also chose the worlds worst game for it too as there were no goals scored in this game. The camera went for 34 mins with Callan’s 1GB card. The first 16 mins were of the Chris’s ugly mug and Neil on the zamboni. Then a five min warmup left only 18 mins of actual game, so basically just the one period. Next time I’ll set it up right before the warm up so we get a bit more game time in.
The video in the link above is a heavily edited version. The bulk of the footage was unsurprisingly like watching paint dry.
