TV camera in the air!
Posted on | July 15, 2012 | Category: Arena
The Swiss TV broadcasting company SRF used some of the latest technology in its transmission of the Sprint races today. Included was a mini helicopter, powered by eight rotors, that hovered and moved over the run-in and surrounding area. It was fitted with a miniature camera that provided pictures of the runners in the finish area from above.
This flexible way of getting pictures was very well suited to the location, where the run-in was being used in both directions – first as runners came over a specially constructed bridge and to a spectator control in front of the presentation stage, and second when they were en route from the last control to the finish.
