on the body, the
tiny GoPro cam-
eras have helped
capture amazing
action sports video.
ARENAS, FIELDS, AND FANS
Next up in the air? Remote controlled fly-
ing cameras. Quadcopters equipped with
video and still cameras are now used by hob-
byists and professionals alike. Networks and
teams are looking into ways to use these de-
vices in their broadcasts.
GoPro cameras have made a big impact
on extreme sports. The tiny boxes have been
strapped to surfboards, skateboards, skydiv-
ing helmets, and much more. The camera’s
ability to record in wet, wild, or windy condi-
tions, plus be controlled by the athlete him-
self, has created unprecedented visuals for
fans and athletes alike.
