Toolbox: Sports Video Gear
There’s no time to fumble with a camera when scaling steep mountains or
cycling through deep canyons. With action sports attracting more
devotees every year, the gear for capturing these athletic feats on
camera is becoming more affordable. Of course, choosing the right
sports video camera depends on the kind of action you’re into and what
kind of video quality you’re looking for. Most helmet cams now are
about 1.5 inches wide, up to six inches long and weigh less than a
pound. So capturing your mad dash down a black diamond trail is as
simple as strapping the camera on your helmet and hitting record.

Trade Tricks: Digiscoping
Photographing wildlife or the Little League left-fielder at a great
distance can be a challenge, especially if you don’t have the deep
pockets to afford a large super-telephoto lens of 600mm or higher. All
hope isn’t lost, however; digital photography gives us the benefit of
high magnification through digiscoping.
