    Solo Shot auto pan & tilt tracking system

    How long do you think it will be before this technology is tried by the networks to replace camera operators for sports and other multi-camera events?‎ According to a setup and demo video, it costs about $400 and there is quite a bit of pre-calibration required‎. SoloShot.com > DIRECT...

    Robo Shooter? ... It's just a matter of time

    Yep, it's just a matter of time until this is tried to replace a workforce in the field. And based on what is shown in this video with object handling, if you are a warehouse worker or object handler in any capacity, you should be concerned. > DIRECT LINK 9kawY1SMfY0

    Aerial Chase POV Camera Platform

    I was watching a few of this kid's multi-camera FPV powered paraglider videos on Youtube & eventually saw one where he was using an interesting self-leveling aerial camera platform that provides a rear or chase view with a camera that is mounted in a conical sock attached to a lanyard connected...

    Police countermeasures for getting shots of people in custody in the field

    I'm aware of how in the field the law will sometimes use their flashlight, aimable spot, takedown or alley lights to temporarily blind a suspect while a witness anonymously IDs them a short distance away in a shadow, like in a brightly lit line-up room with mirror glass at the station. I also...

    Emergency Alert System (EAS) Low Quality

    After decades of hearing the emergency alert system messages on tv and the radio, can someone, such as some of you head-end or broadcast engineers from the tv and/or radio worlds, please explain why the recording quality of the messages has never improved? The worst ones are the synthetic voices...

    A&E's LIVE PD / Is it truly live or live to tape?

    I was a little suspicious of A&E's 'live' police ride-along show, LIVE PD, when I saw it back in 2016. Does anyone else think it's actually shot and switched live to tape and then aired later or is it really switched and aired live? For those not familiar, this show has multiple camera crews...

    Production boards tracking work history & related crewmembers

    Does anybody else find it a little disturbing that at least one production board, maybe more, has been tracking its members' work history (shows) along with other related crewmembers that worked on the same show you and others did? I've been a member of a huge production site for 15 yrs where...

    Reporters using phone or tablet to show pics & docs before cutting to a liveshot pkg

    Reporters using phone or tablet to show pics & docs before cutting to a liveshot pkg Other than going live shortly after exiting the truck with very little to no prep time, why do reporters hold up their phone, tablet or laptop and lean into or walk towards the news camera's lens or the camera...

    Annoying Vertical Mobile Video with Blurred or Pushed Same-source PiP Border

    Does anyone know why the local and network news editors use that annoying PiP effect with blurred and/or pushed (blown up) same-source borders when airing vertical mobile video? I'm really tired of seeing it. A static black or colored, even subtley animated, background would work fine but using...

    Interstate Emergency Lane Use for Media

    Other than being used by emergency crews and civilians with car trouble, when traffic is backed up on an interstate is the emergency lane, left or right side, off limits for media crews to use as access to get closer to an MVA or whatever may be causing the backup? Does this vary from state to...

    This is prime time television here folks!

    Some of the folks allowing unacceptable content to be shot and aired should be reminded what level they are working at with the following statement made by a network anchor that was fed up with half-assedness. The entire video is great but the best line at 2:32 is, "This is prime time television...
