Every wedding has shots that only work from above. The full venue layout, the outdoor setup, the crowd, all in one frame, these are the moments that separate a good wedding film from a great one.
Most videographers miss them. Not because they do not want them, but because getting that height has always meant extra equipment, extra cost, or extra crew.
A telescopic camera pole solves that. One person, three minutes of setup, and you are ready to shoot. VPTCP's 6M and 8M poles are both listed for aerial photography at events built for exactly this kind of work.
What a Camera Pole Covers at a Wedding
A pole adds one angle that ground level cannot give you.
Events and aerial photography - VPTCP lists events as a direct application for both the 6M and 8M poles, alongside architecture, sightseeing, advertisement, and press photography.
Wide aerial coverage - Extending the pole gives you a clear view from above of the full venue layout, the outdoor space, and the surrounding area from a single position on the ground.
Architecture and sightseeing - Both listed applications for the 6M and 8M poles are ideal for venue exteriors, gardens, and locations where the setting is part of the film.
Compatible with all cameras and camcorders - VPTCP poles include a 1/4" and 3/8" camera mount suitable for all cameras and camcorders. A smartphone or tablet holder is also available as an add-on, which lets you monitor the shot from the ground while the pole is extended.
Faster and easier to handle than drones - VPTCP states this directly on the product pages. One person can complete the full setup in 3 minutes.
Choosing Between 6M and 8M for Events
Both heights work for event videography. The difference is in reach and weight.
The 6M pole is listed by VPTCP for aerial photography at events, architecture, sightseeing, and press photography. Contracts to 1.13M, weighs 2700g, and supports a top load of 9 to 10kg. The 6M CE Camera Mast is made of high-quality fiberglass material, has an attractive price, and is easy to use, according to VPTCP's own description.
The 8M pole extends to 8 meters and contracts to 1.46M for transport. VPTCP describes it as highly portable and easy to operate. The 8M CE Telescopic Pole Camera is listed for aerial photography at events and covers architecture, sightseeing, advertisement, and press directly from the product page.
The aluminum tripod base that ships with every VPTCP pole offers great stability and full control over the balance useful when working on grass, gravel, or uneven outdoor surfaces at an event location.
