I like the idea of this product, but until I see someone put it to use on a narrative production aside from some distant pan, it really has little purpose.
Extreme Sports videography is big business – this could potentially add a camera angle or two to a small production team. On top of that, it may not an amazing must have product now but it’s a look at what’s possible… A solution to a problem that may later arise.
I agree with the first post. All the shots are extremely wide and poorly composed. It’s the same as letting a camera decide autofocus for you rather than racking focus yourself. You lose all of the advantage of having a trained professional with an experienced eye. I see the market, but it’s just not for me.
Thank God it’s not going to replace a trained professional
I guess I’m coming at it differently – The easiest way to add production value to documentary style video productions is to increase the number of camera angles. Quality doesn’t need to be super good – it just creates new editing possibilities.
