Skateboarding videos have been around for decades, but shooting the action typically requires a professional videographer who also knows how to skate. Often the hardcore shredding can also be hazardous to the one taking the videos. This risk inspired the name along with the fact a it's known as a super wide angle in skating and purpose of one of today's handiest innovations, the Death Lens.
Indeed, death-defying tricks are difficult and risky to both skater and filmer that hideous slams are common especially in the past decades. Large, handheld video cameras were used to capture these feats, so carrying and controlling such devices were already a challenge on their own. With the introduction of the Death Lens, taking videos of awesome skating tricks is not as difficult and more fun for everyone involved as well as being a whole lot nicer on the wallet than shelling out for a top end camera.

Their team riders are comprised of skateboarders Andrew Reynolds, Beagle, Boo Johnson, Bryan Herman, Chris Joslin, Cyril Jackson, Dane Vaughn,Daniel Lutheran, Dee Ostrander, Don Nguyen, Kevin Roar, Lizard King, Neem Williams, Pat Romney, Thetis Beasley, and snowboarders Chris Bradshaw, Chris Greiner, E Man, Jed Anderson, Joe Sexton, Justin Cronies, Nick Dirks and Scott Stevens.
If you have been an avid skateboarding fan, you will notice the difference between videos shot with good old video cams versus smartphones with Death Lens. The digital innovation already in place via smartphone allows the lens and its app to seamlessly integrate and produce crisp and clear imagery.
