Dodge Tour de Georgia starts today.

PST is using the Ether Lynx 5l300 camera system with up to 5000 scans a second for photofinish.

Pictures as they become available

New mounting system in use for the finish line cameras. A horizontal bar is mounted on each vertical support for the gear head. The super clamps allow the head to be moved 25cm along the bar. We did experience that the cameras are much closer to the road than when using tripods. We used a 28mm lense on the stage side with wide 50% and a 35mm with wide 50% on the far side yesterday. Nice pictures but some riders got cut off right under the camera on the stage. We are using a 24mm today on the stage and a 35mm on the far side due to the width of the road.

New camera mounting system with "Event Construction Specialists Truss system"
