Thanks George!

What would you say is the most common (readily answerable), question that you receive from folks looking to shoot and edit kiteboarding videos for the Internet?

A common question is, "How do you keep your camera so steady?" The answer: Practice. A good tripod is also imperative. I have been using a Bogen/Manfrotto for the last year. Very heavy but it helps in high winds. Of course the sand and saltwater destroy everything. I rebuilt it a few times already but now I need to send them back to the factory. I bought some new carbon fiber sticks that are a fraction of the weight and I am testing out now. Stay tuned for results.

George-

I just noticed you are a moderator too.

People ask me what I do for a living and I say that I'm a "Kiteboarding Art Moderator" and it sounds like it makes some good money. haha

How much does your tripod cost? I am in the market to get one since mine is jerky when i turn it. I usually have better luck hand holding my camera because I have a pretty steady hand.

What camera/cameras and editing equipment do you use?

Happy Holidays! :)
