Ofcourse, to the right, is the newer and ultimately successful GoPro HD / 4k camera used for many extreme sports or activities. In the same inset is a newer 360 camera from Samsung, which can also be hand-held on the same monopod, and shoots immersive 4k spherical video. It outputs NTSC video and sound and feeds into the auxiliary inputs to any video recorder, such as the small camcorder in my pocket! This setup is very concealed - Great for skydiving, and especially great for roller coasters / thrill rides. The small camera is lightly larger than a quarter, and powered by a 9V battery, this little camera can be mounted anywhere - On a helmet, outside a vehicle, or clipped (or taped) onto something. To the upper left is an external "button" camera used on some projects, along with a newer 360 VR camera from Samsung. The inset to the lower-left shows how easy-to-use the monopod grip is. Originally designed for storm / hurricane chasing, so winds don't rip the camera from my hands, the monopod also works fantastic for filming on-ride footage of coasters and other extreme rides. Second - The ability to BE ABLE TO film and concentrate on shots while flipping upside down, enduring crushing G-Forces, and being slammed all over the place like beans inside a rattler! In the diagram above, the camcorder I am holding (lower left inset) is a Sony DCR-HC28, and it's a small digital mini-DV camcorder that is small and lightweight, and most of all, is really cheap - So if it gets lost or broken, no big deal (but I want the tape back)! Holding this camera is not easy, so I built the "monopod" for it (screws into the standard tripod mount on the camera's underside). First - Technology, as cameras are smaller and digital nowadays. You will see many shots of thrill rides and roller coasters on this web page, many of them from ON-RIDE footage! You probably wonder how can you take pictures while riding a roller coaster? The answer to that is two things. ![]() GETTING THE SHOTS - EXTREME RIDE PHOTOGRAPHY Leviathan Coaster (Canada's Wonderland) In June 2013 Six Flags In Gurnee IL 2015 Coasters Compilation With Music Now with this unpleasant note out of the way, go ahead and enjoy what this page has to offer!ĬHOOSE A VIDEO CLIP BELOW - LINKS TO YOUTUBEĮxtreme Activities Mix 360 VR Music Video (4k) If you do not understand what G-FORCE is (and the effects of G-FORCE), then I strongly recommend that you read my section on G-FORCE at the end of this page (you can see it by clicking HERE). Such forces, known as G-FORCE, can be both exhilerating but dangerous as well. The main danger is the extremely high forces caused by changes in direction (such as in high speed turns) or changes in attitude (position - such as rolls and going upside down). Unfortunately, there has been fatalities associated with people with health problems (some who did not even know they had) that were aggravated by a thrill ride. Thrill rides are fun, but people with a fear of heights, or even worse, physical limitations (back problems, heart problems, diabetes, epilepsy, etc) should refrain from subjecting themselves to the intense forces and / or thrills experienced on such attractions. If you are not fit or capeable of riding, or not sure about this, then it is suggested you do not take any chances.

See my list of all the roller-coasters that I have ridden in my life, in the "roller-coaster resume" section. Some of the largest, longest, and highest record-breaking roller coasters appear on this page! See some extreme rides, such as the "Ejection Seat" and "Sling Shot"! See interesting "drop / free-fall" rides, where you fall 300 feet and are slowed in less than a second by magnetic brakes! This page also includes many fair-rides and even bungee jumping. This area is for the ROLLER COASTER enthusiast, as I am one myself! On this page you will find some pictures of roller coasters and many other extreme rides. ![]()
