NAB 2015 Live Show Replay: Tom Guilmette talks Vinten tripods

By technical editor Matt Allard:

At the Teradek live show at NAB I caught up with DP and outside broadcast specialist Tom Guilmette. Tom does a lot of outside broadcast work and has been a camera operator on countless MLB and NHL games. Following a puck or a baseball on the end of a long broadcast lens in no easy feat and requires not only vast amounts of skill but a smooth and accurate tripod. Tom has been using Vinten tripods for many years and he runs me through why he chooses Vinten and how it aids his work.
