Maybe over time, and if more broadcasters use them in this way, we'll get used to them more and it'll be less of an issue.Maybe, but my preference, if you're going to get rid of manual operators, remains for fully robotic peds (as I believe A and D partly use), with the electricfriends very low ranked on my list. Even leaving aside the aesthetics, I remain thoroughly unconvinced as to their merits as a camera system. Despite some of the claims made at B's relaunch, they come across as slow, undynamic and inflexible - with very conventional shots and little variation in terms of height (even the Furios in low-ceiling E can do better). The BBC have the largest news set they've ever had and are unable to give it the sweeping wideshots and pan downs that it deserves.
