HOCKEY NETCAM®

You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take

Preparing your NHL 24-25 Hockey Netcam®

Note the approximate location to place the four Velcro strips (remove the protective paper on the box first)

Velcro Placement

Cold-Shoe Placement for Wizard

Camera & remote in place in the box

Foam core board or cardboard should be used to protect the front panel EVERY TIME you move the camera in and out of the box.

Available Platform

Peel back, roll and tuck the vinyl to expose the velcro platform (with hole for camera screw). Your netcam box will snuggly sit here.

Suggested Photo Equipment

The best high end digital cameras for NHL Netcam 24-25 use are ones with full frame sensors. This would include the Canon 5D, Canon Mark IV and Canon 1DX, 1DXII, 1DX2, 1DX3, R5, R6, the Nikon D3, D3X. D4, Z8,9 and the Sony Line a9 etc.etc, etc.

Lenses that have been tested and fit inside the box include

Canon 15mm f/2.8
Nikon 16mm f/2.8
Sigma 15mm f/2/8
7artisans 10mm f/2.8 (Shown Above)

These lenses are all of the shorter variety in physical length. Larger lenses will probably NOT fit in the box! The Canon 8-15 does NOT fit.The Nikon 14-24 does NOT fit.

The maximum depth for the camera and lens inside the box is 5-15/16"

With this equipment you have enough real estate in the frame to allow for cropping, as it is difficult to aim the Netcam with 100% accuracy to keep the crossbar parallel. The 10mm works especially well for this.

This doesn't preclude you from using other cameras including those with magnification factors, and many photographers are successful using other combinations of camera bodies and lenses.

ALSO NOTE that with full frame cameras and super wide or fisheye lenses you may experience slight vignetting in the corners of the frame from the netcam front glass.

As for triggering the camera, the preferred remote is the Pocket Wizard (www.pocketwizard.com). You should also invest in the Pocket Wizard (or other brand) pre-release cables which keep the camera "awake" similar to pressing the camera's shutter button half way. We suggest either the Pocket Wizard cable for Canon (CM-N3-ACC-1) or for Nikon (CM-N3-ACC-1). A cute little tidbit buried in the Pocket Wizard instructions mentions limited distance capabilities around "large bodies of water". Hmmmmm, sort of like 85' x 200' frozen bodies of water???? We suggest using the wizards on Long Distance Mode. Or use PW's E-Release which has worked extremely well.
