Take stills while shooting video

My first time video- taping a soccer game was a mild success. My camera has the capability to take snapshots while video-taping but they aren’t high quality. I could take stills from the video itself, but they are even worse quality. My thinking then became why not take pictures with my old bridge camera at the same time and get good quality. The video camera pretty much runs all the time and I can use a remote shutter on the still camera. I mounted the two cameras side by side and will use a monopod. Soccer season isn’t ‘till next Spring so I haven’t tried it out yet.

Interesting set up, it might be a handful on a monopod though.
