Who thought the shit heap out of focus camera that shows almost the whole first lap was  good idea. Do we need it for insta money or can that disappear asap.

Didn’t notice anything out of focus on any of the 8 first laps I watched. You might want to refresh whatever app you watch on, or check your internet provider.

I didn’t have anything out of focus, but there was waaaaaaaay too much drone in my opinion

They used a Zapruder film filter for the camera on the drone.  The intern didn't know what it was but thought the name sounded cool

Our Digital connection goes wonky occasionally too.

I just want more RAW style footage that actually shows the speed of the bikes

Only issues I had was the drone would skip out but other than that I’ve never had a broadcast issue

I am glad it was not only me.  The arial and distant shots are good for moments, but when a large chunk of the broadcast is from above and at a distance, it makes it look like they were trying to save a few bucks on cameras, and personnel to put this broadcast together.  The arial stuff is great for outdoors, but makes much less sense in SX.  I would rather have a bunch more cameras closer to track level (like it used to be), there was definitely a shit ton less of that, I hope this is not a new trend.  

I also noticed the from above (drone or other) was not as clear as the trackside cameras as well.

No problems for me and I 100 % agree with you about too much drone footage...way too much.

Your thread title needs to be adjusted...the cameras and operators are innocent.
