The Mount
As veteran PIs, we always recognized the need for specific tools that could make our jobs easier. We had the skills, and therefore, we were consistently landing our subjects. Unfortunately, we then had the duty of holding our cameras up for hours on end and taking steady video. We couldn’t eat, drink, or do anything else that required two hands😉! We tried all the available devices, from contemporary tripods to whatever gizmo we could find online. The tripod proved cumbersome to set up and even more difficult to aim the camera precisely. And don’t even think about the defeated feeling you had when you finally got everything set up, focused, and in frame, only for your subject to move 8 feet in any direction. And the other devices you can buy online simply weren’t sturdy enough to support the larger, heavier cameras, as the weight caused them to sway and shake. Enter The Mount. Designed by PIs for PIs. Take better video hands-free.
Bottom Line
If you are good, you find yourself having to hold your camera up - a lot! Give yourself a break. Give yourself The Mount. When you land your subject who works as a roofer. Or when they are at home conducting landscaping activities, or when they meet individuals and eat on a restaurant patio, go hands-free while filming them! Give yourself the opportunity to eat, drink, and catch up on notes and emails. And most importantly, do all those tasks while recording as much video as possible and keeping it steady.
The Shadow Series
Since day one, one of the worst parts of the job has always been dealing with the neighbours of your subject and the other individuals who spot you sitting in your vehicle. Or even worse, filming! You can’t go invisible, you can't change your vehicle every day, and most importantly, you want to keep parking in that perfect spot—the one with the best vantage point and that is in the shade, day after day. So let us help you hide in plain sight. The Shadow Series was invented to prevent people from catching you inside your vehicle while at the same time making it appear as though no such devices are being used.
Bottom Line
If you hate confrontations and the anxiety of having to use up a file’s budget in an area where everyone is aware of your presence, consider investing in the Shadow Series. These products are specifically crafted to help you evade interactions with those who might spot you in your vehicle, allowing you to stay in an area for an extended period of time without being noticed—and even being able to retain that prime parking spot!
