Critically, the software automatically performs obstacle avoidance duties. Before a broadcast, the computer operator presets boundaries for the camera and uses the software to designate no-fly zones, such as the scoreboard and video screen suspended in the middle of a basketball arena. Doing this work in advance leaves the pilot free to follow action on the field below without having to worry about causing a spectacular collision and equally spectacular public relations fiasco. Of the modern places, the new Tottenham Stadium is wonderful to work at because you can still get close to the goal line and you’ve got a nice perspective. The old Wembley gave you incredible light – wonderful for pictures. Even cup final day, extra time, there wouldn’t be any shadow on that pitch. Memories of night games past.

How to record football matches without a camera operator

The company has developed an AI-powered 4K camera that needs no manual intervention to record a match. You don’t need a complicated setup for it — just put it on the tripod it ships with and you’re good to go. It has two cameras that can record 180 degrees of the field in 4K resolution at 30 frames per second. The camera can record up to four hours of footage on a full charge.I’ve been working in sports photography for over 40 years, but I love it when a picture still makes me feel jealous. Every now and then a picture makes me feel, woah – come on! Take the Champions League final of 2021: the picture was static Aguero, with Chelsea’s players celebrating all around him. That was the picture to get. I dreamt about it the night after, having to get there to get the shot. Smartphone cameras have become really good at recording video, but you can’t expect someone to hold a phone for 90 minutes, follow the ball, and record a football match.

If the Fujifilm X-H2S sounds like overkill for your needs, the Canon EOS R7 is the next best thing. It's an incredibly versatile hybrid camera with advanced video capability. With no recording time limit and excellent battery life, this is a great choice for extended recording sessions. Video quality from its high-res APS-C sensor is amazing, and you can shoot 10-bit 4:2:2 Log footage internally to get a wider dynamic range and give yourself more leeway in post-production. Everyone else got the celebration. Someone later said to me, ‘I don’t see pictures like that in the newspaper. Who did you take it for?’. I said, ‘I took it for me’. Surely if you have a camera, you can tell a story? Take it the honest way you see it. Choose the right lens for rain. At a Spurs-Manchester City game around 2010, photographers shot from the corner to await Spurs’ goal celebrations. But I wasn’t on the guy shooting – I was on the keeper, Joe Hart. Shooting on 85mm lens, I captured the moment Hart dived and tipped the ball around the post. My photo got used in every Sunday paper.

There’s no such thing as a perfect vantage point – unless you have a crystal ball. You see the TV camera follow the ball all the way in. But you can’t do that with a still camera – so you must choose your spot. You must know what you want to get.
