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.

The fact that the Laura Keunssberg show felt the need to get in a hand-held camera operator does rather back up your point.

I agree that with such an impressive space, it’s a shame it’s not shown off as well as it could be. I’d love to see a jib shot. Maybe there’s a chance they could get one in for the next election night.
