thanks for the info...wrestling buddy and I been wanting to try and tape a fight between us. Would prefer to have someone hold camera and follow the fight around but some ur ideas may work.will try and see how comes out.
I have been known to occasionally record some of my matches.
First, if you want the recording to be good and you have plenty of space for wrestling, you will want to have someone to hold the camera and follow the action. Make sure that the guy has a steady hand, knows not to block the light, and doesn't zoom in at random times. If you find that you cannot find someone to operate the camera, you will have to make sure that you do not roll outside the field of view. Place the camera low as you will spend most of your time on the ground.
Speaking of light, this is the #1 most important thing for creating a good quality recording on consumer-grade equipment (which is what most of us have). If you are wrestling indoors, fact of the matter is that the light will be too low. You can fix that very easily by picking up a video lamp. Even an entry-level video lamp will be enough to greatly improve the image quality! Lamps cost less than cameras, yet people buy expensive cameras not realizing that there is a cheaper and better way of improving indoors picture quality.
It's pretty easy, just postition your cam on a shelf, ledge, or whatever, and press record. Do a check first to make sure the cam is positioned to capture as much of the action as possible. Good luck.
Hi, Just wondered if anyone films/has filmed their own matches for private use? If so how did you do it? whats the best set up or do you get a third party in to film it?
