Dante2004 0 Report post Posted July 29, 2019 I'm looking to take team video of my kids games this year and POSSIBLY going to buy a new camera. In the past I've put gopros behind the goalie and shot through the glass with good results. Some of the rinks have Livebarn so I will just use that video. I'm thinking of buying a camera and tripod and setting up at center ice from the bleachers to try and get a decent shot from there. But I've also noticed that most of the rinks have nets up on the sides that I would be shooting "through". So my question is for those of you who have done this, do the nets mess with the autofocus on the cameras? Action cameras probably won't be effected. But a DSLR or Camcorder might be. Feedback from others? I suppose on the DSLR I could just manual focus. At that distance most of the shots would be at an "infinite" focus point anyway. I don't want to drop $$$ on a camera and just get 60 minutes of netting. lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thelaterskater 16 Report post Posted July 30, 2019 Manual focus is the answer on a DSLR. Might be tough to capture a lot if you’re not actively running it. I wouldn’t rely on LiveBarn for anything. The quality is so bad. Here’s a dual-action cam rig I made for recording our games. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
