Worth it for the shot

Camera operators are going to often be the last ones in unsafe positions because we still haven’t solved the remote camera problem yet. There’s too much latency to have the cameras that whip pan running on the remote tripods used in a few other series.

Just out a 1 meter cable behind the camera, nonexistent latency because it's just 1 meter but keeping the operators safe behind the protection

I’d be more than fine with some less whipy pre canned motion that accommodates far more cars per screen than the stupid zoom setting and motion they have now

The sponsors unfortunately aren’t. The whole reason it’s the way it is was to give sponsors more screen time

I’ll be sure to buy more… checks notes… “Aramco” next time I am at the store. Fuck advertising.

Is seriously no one going to link to the video from that camera?

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

As soon as they finish editing out all the expletives.

I thought the slow mo of Tsunoda flying backwards while the rest of the grid was braking for the corner was a really cool shot, but this is too close for comfort. Aren't they supposed to keep it within the fence?

iirc these cameras stick out because you can’t really get the shot down the front straight from inside the fencing.

I believe most other tv cameras are this way on most circuits too

Code Brown in turn one!

This seems unnecessary. 180ish degree lens, 8 or 12k sensor, solved no? We have security cameras that are good enough, surely we can just design a camera for this purpose.
