Iconix Mini Camera Survives Bull Impact

An Iconix HD-RH1 captures broadcast-quality footage after a bull runs over the protected mini camera during an ESPN E:60 shoot.

ESPN commissioned a demanding shot for its E:60 news programme. Camera operator Bob Sloan placed an Iconix HD-RH1 mini camera in the path of a bull during production of a segment titled Baby Bullfight.

The production enclosed the camera in a plastic housing. A bull ran directly over the unit, but the camera survived and delivered broadcast-quality HD footage.

Iconix described the HD-RH1 as the smallest production HD camera manufactured in series at the time.
