And test, and drive!

5 video cameras in almost perfect conditions for shooting a video for the contest “I am a Businessman”

They say that doing business in Russia is not easy. We do not undertake to assert the opposite, but we are doing everything to make business processes easy. And the “I am a Businessman” video contest for entrepreneurs was organized in such a way that it was easy and interesting for everyone to take part in it. In a word, take it and take it off!

And what to take in hand? - One of the most popular questions for those who are just planning to take part in the competition. We believe that the main thing in the video is a fascinating plot and genuine emotions, but nevertheless we decided to conduct an experiment and find out if there is a difference with what to shoot the video?

For this we needed:
- 5 gadgets that can record video;
- Medium quality mirror camera;
- freshly printed 300,000 rubles;
- one businessman who came to our office to renew a subscription to Kontur-Extern;
- room for filming.

For the experiment, we rummaged in our pockets and chose 4 phones with the following characteristics:

After reviewing the video from all devices, we did not feel the need to use in practice special equipment. It is interesting to observe what is happening in the frame with any quality of shooting. What do you think?

By the way, all the participants of the competition, at the request of the organizers, filled out a questionnaire, where among others there was a question: “How did you hear about the holding of the competition”? According to the survey results, the “Friends told” parameter is leading. Maybe one of your friends wants to be in the place of the hero of this video and already on March 5, 2014 at the award ceremony in Moscow to recount the winnings in the contest "I am a Businessman"? There are other prizes - more about everything on the competition website .
