Does anyone know of a way we can get an endzone shot that is cost effective? Is there a way we can do it without having to rent or buy an expensive riser?

One school I was at we had a dad who worked for the county - he drive his county truck with the Cherry Picker basket onto the end of our field and we put our endzone camera up in the basket. I also coached at a college where the field butted up near a building and we put a manager in a 3rd floor office to get the endzone shot. Use what you have.

At the school I was at we went in and hit up a local rental place who would rent us a riser for cheap on friday nights....We then just had a guy stand in the riser filiming with a regular camera....It worked out great for us

30' telescoping poles are about 6-7 thousand dollars ... and, generally allow you to pay it out over 3 years.
renting a scissor lift for home games can be as cheap as $200 a 'weekend'.

We hit are local Rental place up on donating a scissor lift on game days in return we provided free ads in our program, A sign on the scissor lift, and had our announcers announce who had donated the lift several times thru out the game. Maybe if you play this angle to the rental agency you will have the same results.

Our former HC was replaced before this plan was put into motion, but we were talking about buying one of those free standing deer stands. I don't know how high they go but from what one of the other assistants was saying they're cheaper than the telescopic apparatus. I was still looking into the cherry picker myself.

I have seen the tripod deer stands used before. They seem to work ok. Not sure about how sturdy or if people try to steal them or not.

ask the parents. We did and found one that hit up an electrician friend that has a bucket truck. We have it for our home games for free.

How about renting scaffolding from one of the rental places instead of a scissor lift? Heck of a lot cheaper.

Nearly every community has someone that owns a truck with a cherry picker that is willing to help the program out. We even used one to follow the play from the side. We had shots from the LOS that were pretty neat. This was in the early '70s.

Have been involved with the free ads and announcements when a scissor is donated for the game. The cherry picker is also a great idea.

one of our opposing schools had the metals shop build a scaffolding, it is only used at home games, but they wheel it around to their practice field and get nice film of practice with it also....
