TV feed from Cameron Indoor has to be among the worst in college hoops.

[DogMania]

I've mentioned this before, but the distance and angle of the camera work in Cameron Indoor has to be among the worst in all college basketball. Not that I often watch Duke games, but when I do surf over for a few minutes I feel like I'm watching the game from the rafters without experiencing the energy of the crowd which would make it palatable.

My guess it's probably the result of the configuration of this very old facility where placing cameras at a better angle and having them zoom closer in is not possible. Or it could be just really s***** camera work, but it's been like this since I can remember. In fact I've noticed this type of camera angle and distance common for many of the ACC and some Big Ten games. I prefer the pro style camera work which are often used for UConn games.

Have others notice this as well?

F Duke and their camera angles.

 

[Edward Sargent]

Got to be there in person to fully appreciate the joy of Cameron Indoor!!

It’s hard to readjust them after decades of having them focused up Ks ass

 

[brihman]

Is it a fun place to watch a game

This board should not have any threads that have Dook or their arena in the title line. Nothing they do should matter to us, only when we play them and beat them.

I do hope that we're on the list of home/homes that Scheyer will consider now that K is gone and they're no longer gigantic p______s about playing true road games out of conference.

Need to flip main camera to the opposite side as well. I want to watch the coaches/players - no interest in the student section.

Rat infested high school gym

No pun intended

Fitting for a program with only 5 championships. Can’t even imagine

I would take it over the broadcast I saw when Marquette played Dayton this weekend... they literally had fans arms and heads block the camera view at times.

Of course, last nights game at XL, while a good camera angle, featured a fan waving a towel in the way of the camera at critical times. I'll take that over the horrible angle at Cameron Indoor, but it was still very annoying
