I cant stand it. The only thing it is good for is taking shots at goal which arent covered by other angles. Otherwise, the normal footage ****s all over skycam. I cant stand it being used at bounces, you cant see which team a player plays for, let alone who the person is.
Its a lot of money for making the footage worse IMO.

I don'tquite see the point really.

it can cover as much ground all over the ground as I thought it could... It literally can cover teh centre square and thats it..
I thought it was able to go to the 4 corners of the stadium

Our game is just too quick for it. I think they've resigned to the fact that it is only good in a very limited capacity. Good to try these things i guess

Yep I agree. They thought it might add something to the game - but it didn't really. All they could do was try, I mean in hindsight, yeah it is a waste of a million bucks, but they had to try it.
Ruined the entire broadcast. Can't follow the ball, and you cant even distinguish between strips when its too far. I found it blury.
Sick of getting conned by Yanks.. Lose it!!

Is the contract for this year only? Or are we resigned to watching ****ty quality for another season.

Well personally, I wouldn't have done it! But like I said, I guess they felt like it was worth a try.
What would make more sense at this point in time would surely be to find a sport where Skycam might be suitable and palm it off to them for the remainder of the time and recoup some of their losses on it?
Looked ok during the basketball preview a couple of weeks ago, but thats because its closer to the action and can see whats going on.
Ch 9 are also going to use it for the remaining ARL Origin games. U would think it would be excellent for Rugby as its basically a one way game and it should be able to get in reasonably close behind the ball carriers.Originally posted by lioness22

Was needed today during the Hawks/Bombers game
gold.
Put a camera in the ball.
why cant the umpires wear mining helmets with cameras installed instead of the lamps?
skycam - i cant stand it.

did anyone see the french open final last nite??? skycam was used to cover the match, and i thought it was good... the quality was much better and it really suited the game... the would have skycam over the player serving, and in the clay on the court would have a contrasting picture of the player at the other end... some of the best sports broadcasting i've seen...
