skymount available in US?

There is a product called "Skymount" available in the U.K. It is a portable video camera stand that positions the camera atop the fence to allow wideangle recording of the entire court. Does anyone know if this product is available in the U.S. Or something that is similar?

I have seen a couple of fence mounts available in the US.

One of them being the "QM-1": http://www.mytennistools.com/. I have used this one.

My only complaint with the "QM-1" is the flat narrow aluminum plate that contacts the fence is not stable enough and can cause the whole unit to wobble or move. I would suggest going with one that has multiple or wider point of contact.

There is also the "Cam-Assist" http://www.kennedymart.com/proddetai...prod=CamAssist. Never used it.

Skymount (www.skymount.co.uk) is a UK based company that will ship to the US. They also have a testimonial from John Yandell.

True enough! I have used it and it works well. The issue is always the view and the width of the lens. But you can film either end of the court well.
