Revelstoke based startup to bring RFID technology to 360 degree cameras

Sniper Action Photo operates 30 photo installations in Canada, the U.S., Central America and the Caribbean

A Revelstoke-based startup is bringing smart chip technology to 360 degree cameras.
Patrons of Revelstoke Mountain Resort’s two-year old mountain coaster will be the first to get to see some of it when they install an automated video system there this summer.

The company was born after Dave Grimsdell spent 10 years riding mountain bikes in Whistler and realized he didn’t have a single photo to show for it. That inspired him to think about developing an automated photography system that could capture him enjoying the activities he loved. He later met Ryan Johnson while there young children played and the company was born.

Today, Sniper Action Photo operates 30 installations across Canada, the United States, Central America and the Caribbean. They provide high resolution automated photo systems for adventure parks, mountain bike operations, sightseeing chairlifts in Central America, ziplines and other kinds of outdoor activities.

Video Systems

Sniper Action Photo is excited to announce the launch of our new video system designed specifically for high volume locations. This cutting-edge technology features multiple cameras that record variable length clips of guests participating in outdoor activities such as ziplines and mountain coasters. Our new video system is perfect for capturing every thrilling moment of these activities, giving guests a personalized memento to take home with them.

Our video system has been designed to be as user-friendly as possible. After the footage is recorded, it is automatically combined with stock footage and branding elements to create a final video product. This means that guests do not have to wait for their video to be edited and produced. Instead, they can receive their video immediately after their activity, allowing them to relive their experience and share it with their friends and family on social media. This feature is particularly attractive to those who want to document their outdoor adventure and share it with others.

Our goal is to provide guests with a high-quality video product that captures the excitement of their experience, making it a perfect keepsake to share with friends and family. Our new video system is the perfect addition to our existing line of RFID-enabled automated photography systems, offering our clients an even greater range of products and services to choose from.
