Now, im sure his has been thought of before, and if it hasnt been, i dont quite understand why it hasnt been, but, why dont we use "track Cams", you know, the cameras used in sports like football and ice hockey? The cameras that are suspended, usually by 4 cables, that upull and release to posistion the camera in its desired posistion.
I realise these cameras are quite expensive, but, it would provide very excelent footage. The footage would be smoothe and focused. you could focus on the whole field, key players, quiuck zooms and trails of bunkering moves, etc etc.
Now, maybe as paintball gets bigger, we will be able to move into larger venues, and stadiums, much like campaign cup used to do int he soccer stadium. We could move into places like the wachovia center, or even the smaller spectrum. Every state has a stadium to play in, and with the advent of x ball and the dick clarke productions purchase, i dont see why something like this couldnt be aranged. It would be even nicer if some one could work something out to try this out in the sky dome at the next skyball. i am curious to see what could become of this technology.
Another plus, would be the exclusion fo the human factor, no humans squeeming from hits, no more sideline only shots of games, no more shakey zooms etc etc. The camera could get into every bunker, being suspended some 20 feet in the air, it wouldnt have a very good chance of getting hit, and if it did, you could encase it in a clear plexiglass box, which would withstand shots, from those hot haded little pissers who would get a kick out of it.
Just think of the possibilities
