Recently I've been having a lot of fun shootin' HS football with my A1 for some folks out of Fort Worth and I'm havin' great success (and a lot of fun!) using the A1 with a SteadyStick.

Here's some (very green) footage from my very first time and very first game of the season using my "A1 on a Stick":

I just have to recommend this $99 tool for inclusion with any A1 shooting package... sports or otherwise.
Just wanted to share my two. :-)
