Found Footage: Apple Store Covent Garden opening in iPhone 4 HD
The Apple Store Covent Garden opened in London this weekend to great crowds and fanfare, and of course we've been inundated with photos, video, and personal stories about the opening. We'd love to thank all of you for your input, as we all love Apple Store openings as much as anyone!
Mike Hellers took some wonderful footage of the opening in 720p HD video with his iPhone 4. Not just any iPhone 4 -- this one was sitting on a customized Hague Mini Motion-Cam for extra steady camera work. Another short video by drcjep showing Mike and the Motion-cam follows on page 2.

Huh? What do you mean 'especially in the UK'? Does it make a difference where the Apple Store is?

August 08 2010 at 2:32 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyYes, he attached a small weight at the top of the motion-cam and used a generic phone mount (e.g. for a car) which he bolted to the motion-cam.

you can see the weight in the second video above.
i thought it was illegal to take pictures / video in a store... are the laws different across the pond?
August 08 2010 at 2:30 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replypossible given it is private property, but they like the publicity. They didn't stop us filming in there.
