In auto racing they can film cars going 150mph, slow down the video, and it's so clear you can read the words on the tire. I remember seeing that one time and thinking that's why the cameras cost so much. That's just incredible.
Technically that’s possible with other cameras as well. You will need to use faster shutter speed to get sharp photos of fast moving objects and big aperture with good sensor to account for the lost light.
now do that in a slightly dark place, you'll capture nothing, even in a well lit place, the video will look much darker. Fast shutter speed doesn't capture a lot of light . @@themisir
As a professional camera operator myself, with 20 years of experience, I have to say that the info on this video is absolutely correct and up to date. Excellent camerawork, sound, directing and video editing also.
It’s been a dream of mine for a while and I was wondering how you get into the business. I know so much about the production industry apart from where to start!
As a cinematographer, its impressive when it come down to convenience to manning the rig alone. Where I need to orchestrate a few people to achieve the same thing with a focus puller or someone racking the f-stops on my old arriflex set up. The thing i wonder is why the camera is still using 2/3? Is there disadvantage moving the camera to larger sensor and lens manufacturers? edit: also call me old fashion, but i never trust a servo lens or a lcd screen, I still bust out my light meter and measuring tape when I plan out accuracy which of course can't be done efficiently in broadcast
aluisious I agree. It almost didn’t seem possible, the speed that the lens could go from wide to ultra telephoto (while perfectly maintaining focus), snapping back and forth like that... Live TV has such different requirements than narrative productions that can take a year to shoot.
The production is indeed very good, but I would point out that at 0:11, 0:21, 1:29, 6:45 and 6:54 the lens cover is still on the lens which is why the poor camera operator can't see anything in the viewfinder - except at 0:21 where it's a replay via the return feed.... just sayin'
Finally a camera operator who doesn't want to sound smart by throwing a bizzare range of lingo about all the technical stuff. Rather gets to the point. And does an extremely good job at that.
"throwing a bizarre range of lingo" isn't trying to sound smart. They are smart and doesn't need to bring themselves down to your level to satisfy your lack of vocabulary.
@@WoodiePlays Real smart person should have the ability to make complex things sound simple, so more people could understand it. They're not bringing themselves down by doing that, but lifting other people together to achieve equal understanding. Being arrogant and condescending on the other hand, only vocalise your insecurity towards your own intellect.
Knowing very little about cameras, filming etc. wasn't enough to stop me from enjoying this video. Absolutely amazing and something that's enjoyable for all to watch

Why would that make sense? The most popular channels are streamers with zero quality... The biggest blockbuster films tend to be shot the worst... Quality does not go along with popularity very often. Usually safe and bland is needed for anything to be popular.

As a professional Cameraoperator working with these lenses I have to say that this video is absolutly briliant. The next time when I will be asked why this cameras are so expensive I will give them the link to this video. Thank you for your great job on this. Your channel is added now.
20 years ago I started as camera and technical assistent in a big Austrian television and Filmproduction. After 7 years learning from many great cameraoperators and DOPs, I got the chance to do camera by the first daily soap in Austria. I did a good job, lucky me. if I did a bad job , maybe today I would not be a cameraoperator. Till that I do camera on sportevents, konzerts, tv shows, news, and so on. But I also do documentaries and ENG stuff.
Can you please tell me how can a person can get into the jobs like this? And how do you earn and how do you and how much you earn from this? Please make a video for that if possible
@@thr6453 Honestly, it's all down to experience and who you know. Start building up a portfolio of work that you can show to potential employers. Get involved with any opportunities you can to do this kind of thing, paid or unpaid. In the UK, the salary for a camera operator is about average or a hair above. It's okay, but nothing amazing.
Red spends most of its effort in taking consumer level, off-the-shelf components and making them proprietary and then many times more expensive. (Like their scammy storage bits and "custom" connectors)
This video has shown up in my feed for 3 years. I never clicked it because it's a topic I'm too familiar with. Great graphics and the sound design was superb.
Why would you even press dislike button when this much effort and information is put in one single video for absolutely free? Thanks man, great job and informative video!
Because that is how you guide the TH-cam recommendations? Like and dislike are not supposed to reflect quality but if the video fits what you personally want to have recommended to you or not. Video popularity in general goes up with interactions but the like and dislike will shape what TH-cam decides to show you.
Disgruntled introspective hipsters that are too cool for broadcast TV (probably still angry that Final Cut Pro self destructed) these were probably the same that left AVID for FCP. hahahahaha
I used to work for a full service TV broadcast studio. Every time we got a request for a smaller production I had to discuss our camera rental prices. People just didn't understand that the technology is much more complex and high-end than a small DSLR for a TH-cam production. I wish I could have just sent this video along at the time.
It seems that the bandwagon of 'cheap digital gear' creates a mentality that is oblivious to engineering aspects of lens functionality and camera control that is much harder to do on the cheap!
The costs have come down quite a bit though that you can now get cheaper gear that will often outperform the big, bulky ENG cameras from just a few short years ago. Like you're paying tens of thousands for an XDCAM, which still only has a 2/3'' or even a 1/2'' sensor, where as Sony's own FS7 has a full frame sensor that produces some really nice cinema quality video, and costs nearly half as much. But it largely depends on what you're doing with it. I'd still use a proper EFP setup for sports. I don't think those cheaper cameras work with CCUs. Plus the big boys support those monster lenses. But for news and documentaries, those bulky ENG cameras should be relegated to the scrap heap. Camera operators have given enough money to the chiropractic industry. lol
@MLWATKK Yes, I have a Canon, and my whole setup, probably would cost around $8K, for camera, both lenses I have, tripod, mic with wind-reduction cover, LED light, extra battery, carry case, etc. Thankfully I got some of that on trade in, and I won a giveaway at a store for some gear, but that would still assume being able to change lenses. And for affordable video, the Sony camcorders are about $1000, but they don't have good depth of field, the lighting often needs to be edited, and they're super sensitive to motion meaning you need a really fancy tripod. I used one on hard wood floor, and a kid ran by it and shook it. My dad was able to wire up a way to be able to control zoom on his Sony camcorder from a greater distance, but most aren't compatible with that, so you also need whatever staging to put the operator into the right position to do everything. It's a lot of post-production work, to get anything under $20K to look anywhere as good as live TV.
@@MmntechCaThese Sonys were around for years now and produce a extremely more pleasing picture imho compared to cropped sensor cameras like the usual big ones in the studio. And yea they are cheaper but you know what the problem is? It’s just not compatible with the control room equipment and the whole studio environment. And most studios only invest big numbers every 20 years or so. Like my ex employer has upgraded the equipment the last time when broadcast stations switched from SD to HD. Some studios are still upscaling from SD 16:9 to HD to save money on equipment. TV is just it’s own universe 😅
That zoom just so satisfactory and so unreal. It actually doesn't even feel expensive anymore when you see what it can do instead you wonder how the hell did Fuji manage to make it within under this price range.
I actually shot a couple of college games for ESPN, and here's a fun fact: We didn't control the apertures on our cameras. There was a person in the control room (if we needed them to do something, their call sign over the radio was ISO) who managed the exposure and color balance of the camera. They'd deal with (as their name implied) the gain of the camera, the aperture, color balance, ND, you name it. That way the operators only had to worry about composition (and very occasionally focus). Also: lifting one of those $250K box lenses onto a scissor lift was VERY nerve wracking.
This is very common in a broadcast setup. This, as you indicated, allows the operator to focus on getting the shot. But more importantly, it allows one person in a controlled environment to ensure all the cameras have a consistent look. They have a calibrated monitor for each camera, a vectorscope to check color, and a waveform monitor to check the brightness.
Quite right. But we had ours managed via the software automatically while shooting fight nights. I must admit as well, that we were achieving reputable results on gear worth a fraction of the cost. As in less than 1/10th of a $150k cam.

I'm a helicopter broadcast camera operator for years and this video opened my mind about why the hell it's so expensive.. yea, aviation makes the prices go even higher (3x higher in my case) since it has ultra gimbal stabilization included, imagine all this zoom without shaking even with helicopter making turns, wind speed changing, rain, etc. And it being steady just like a high end tripod
Just out of curiosity, does helicopter gimbals still use enormous gyroscopes for stabilization, or have you all moved over to motorized gimbals like drones use?

@@LucasSantanaLopes Holy moley those things are gimbals? I always thought they were just a motorized base and yoke like a moving head light. How are they so much more compact in design than marine gimbals?
Yes, and keep in mind that the market for those cameras is also tiny. A major metropolitan area probably has fewer than a dozen news channels buying them.
As a photographer, I clicked on this not to actuallt watch it but to read the comments. I don't think anyone in the main is really asking this, but it does amuse me when people are so blown away by the quality of phone cameras. Phone cameras will never be able to produce what a camera lens that foes on your SLR or mirrorless camera will, so it isn't a surpise that the cinematograpgy and TV cameras haven't got smaller or much cheaper. Take a look at the technology that goes into ARRI Signature Prime Lenses and you will see why they're expensive.
yes, it is often difficult to explain to people why I bought a camera and take pictures with it. they just don't understand why I don't take pictures and can't take pictures on my phone as well.
I'm a landscape photographer and it's pretty common these days to be told by random members of the public that their phone can take the same photos my mirrorless camera can, I just try and explain you can't miniaturise a lens because of the laws of physics, photography is all about capturing light so the more light the better, so a small lens will always limit the range and quality of pictures you can take with it and technology will never override that.
But how much do ABC sports make in advertising revenue during a football game? Your equipment budget directly correlates with your revenue or expected revenue. How much does it cost to get a good camera person to operate that and a production manager to manage multiple cameras as well as the assorted technicians that support them? The equipment is part of the whole package. As you saw unless you're doing this every day you rent the equipment and hire the people on a project basis with upfront money for the initial setup and then count on making a profit on the back end. You only buy it when you are big enough to need it for every event you film and produce on a daily or weekly basis or if you're making a dozen films in a studio a month. Its all about scale!
@@kerndama No doubt, you need a $1/4 million camera with focus stabilization out to 300 meters to record a reporter sitting behind the desk in a lighted studio like you need a Lamborghini to go to the bathroom.

As a former broadcast camera operator, thanks! This video does a great job of clearly explaining the kind of work I did and equipment used for over 20 years.
Used to work in broadcast and I can tell you that almost all of our cameras in studio were robots. They were operated by a couple guys in a room 20 yards away, Next to the colorist. Also, our cameras were all genlocked so that the various set monitors wouldn't show artifacts. This was network news so we had LCD panels all over the set. One of my jobs was maintaining that setup and helping to load graphics on them. Another major difference is that pro cameras have major heatsinking and fans. They do not overheat like DSLRs and mirrorless cameras do!
After the lens part: "I understand why they cost so much". ..... and then we have the camera, which has a bunch of features not available on anything else.
@@57thorns I didn't knew the part about the buttons, but it makes sense, if you want certain setting tweaked like right NOW, you don't have time to navigate menus, just touch a button. I guess that's why cameraman is a job, not a hobby, you need lots of training to operate that thing.
They're really not. the only part of the camera that is expensive or hard to manufacture is the Processing in the camera and the lenses. All of that other stuff is dirt cheap and common place in pretty much every industry.
One time I was at a wriggly rooftop that is across from wriggly field in Chicago, and on one of the TVs I saw they got bored and cut to a camera zoomed in on someone painting their house
Amazing video. Never knew I was curious about this, but you broke down everything clearly to where now I'm super excited about broadcast cameras. You look at them and you immediately think old/outdated (at least I did). Definitely flipped the script on me with this one. Great job man.
Kind of a sad statement, isn't it? We're such an advanced species we can create an electrical picture box that's worth more than a human life and designed only to enable couch-dwellers to watch men kick an inflated pig's bladder around in crystal-clear 4k, but we can't solve world hunger.
@@Rutherford_Inchworm_III World hunger can probably be solved, but it wouldn't be within any system most people want besides perhaps those going hungry if even them. It can be seen in some non-white immigration to USA, where once someone has moved to the USA they don't want other non-whites to come in because they've already made it. They may even describe anyone else trying to come in as dirty and whatever, because why do they care as they've already made it in. I think this was something that could occur near the Q3-Q4 of 2015. Or just at any time if you bother looking in the right places. Basically anyone that works enough or are lucky enough does not want anyone else to gain as much as them while not working as much or being as lucky as them. Or gain anything at all, as is the case with immigration. They probably know what type of people may come in. If enough people wanted that it would have already happened. One could ask a large group of people, but you can't verify that it is the truth, so you'll have to look at what actually is rather than what people are saying it is. Even if some are honest, it can't be verified and can't count. Some say stuff like "If I work as a surgeon and someone works at McDonald's and make the same money, why would I waste my time working as a surgeon if I could earn just as much at McDonald's?" Which is funny because they're implying you spend all that time in the hopes of saving lives just to..get money? I would think you become a surgeon to save some lives, but I guess it was all about money in the end. I tried to write some stuff about the end of finite resources but eh, it all feels so pointless. I find writing comments fun but not when it turns sour like that so it's all gone now. I edit my comments a lot and TH-cam doesn't update the section so if someone has replied to the text I just deleted, oops. Oops for all the times someone has done that. Just the comments you've commented on in the current page..It sounds easy for TH-cam to implement that.
@D What Herkan said was completely valid and legit, and isn't a result of merely "western philosophy" either. The phenomena of peoples competing and fighting over limited resources occurs worldwide and has throughout time, and even occurs among groups claiming to be altruistic or egalitarian. Even when there's enough to go around, one group may want to hoard more because they're motivated by self-interest. Furthermore, one group trying to help another group can easily step on the toes of a third group, which then causes conflict between the first and third due to differing interests. Human psychology and politics makes tribalism inevitable, and one could look at it in dialectical terms of _Thesis-Anti-thesis-Synthesis._ There was a time when Irish, Italians and Poles were looked down upon in the US, but now they're part of the dominant society who may look down upon another group. There were times when French and later German speakers faced discrimination and were forced to abandon their language, but now those languages and identities are seen as positive or harmless with others now looked at with suspicion. This is what Herkan was talking about.
I didn’t have high hopes for the accuracy or pertinence of information contained in this video, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Very well done indeed and highly accurate! I spent 35 years working with these beasts with a major broadcaster in North America. The video brought back some good memories and reminded me that I didn’t miss carrying all that bulky (but necessary) weight. Not at all 😉 Again, well done!
It's deffinitly one of those cases where you just can't shrink everything, it's the same as people wondering why DSLRs still exist, phone cameras are actually pretty terrible in some situations such as long focal lengths, manual controls, long exposure, and so on. I got a Canon Rebel T6 mostly for astrophotography and learned first hand just how much more it can do. Having done that now, the capabilities of those broadcast cameras make a lot of sense.
I'm pretty sure my local network station just shoots its broadcasts with cell phones and does its audio production through Air-pods with a couple of potentiometers. This is to match both the quality of the content and the quality of the broadcast over the air. If anything more is needed, they just depend on the national network or an independent contractor who has a Wowgo.
Lens manufacturing is one of the disciplines our current civilization has truly mastered, controlling both material properties and surface shapes down to such precision that we can often even reach the limits of physics (diffraction limit), and then we even use these marvels to create artistic and emotional expression. It's something we should keep feeling wonder when we encounter it.
As a stills photographer, it's interesting to have a look in to the other side of the industry and drool over all the fancy expensive equipment film makers have. This kit makes my DSLR and lenses look like a kids toy. :D
Yet the DSLR is an IQ that's WAY better than a broadcast camera (rolling shutter etc aside). I laughed my ass off when I found out how TINY the sensors they use are. 4:21
I'm not over exaggerating when I say I'm 99% sure you have the most professionally made videos on this entire platform in terms of solo creators... hands down.
Thats mainly because once you gain a bigger audience, more people are converted from first time viewer to subscriber faster compared to small channels that need the quality to impress a smaller amount of people. No doubt anyone would just go vlog style if it didnt matter.
No, it's overproduced to the point of wasting the viewer's time. He could have conveyed this information far more quickly. He never gave us a good look at the tripod. As they say: "SHOW us, don't TELL us." He also forgot power and storage.
@@jaythunder551 TV lenses only needed to be good enough for TV broadcast, which was low resolution. Today broadcasts are done in much higher resolution than before, but I don't think it's as high resolution as film. So, this lens, and the camera, might not be sharp enough to make a modern movie.

"in broadcast, the camera has to adapt to the environment". Great summation that really drove the point home. This was a great video. I am not even interested in the subject but I found it very interesting the way you explained the features of each component that made it more expensive that the "prosumer" market camera components.
Well, that’s only if your broadcast is live. If you have the chance to take the footage to post, then you don’t need such a specialized gear. You know, if you are no live you can cut camera, move it closer, avoid in camera zooms, etc. Hence you won’t need that fluid head, that tripod and that lens. Not even that monitor.
TV cameras shrunk quite a lot actually. The benemoth you're seeing is the lens. There's little margin to miniaturization in such item, as you have two constraints fighting against each other. Physics on one side and the need of performance on the other.
No...because telescopes don’t do near focus...8mm is a crazy wide angle. These lenses don’t have the barrel or pincushion distortion that zoom lenses often suffer from either...or the focus breathing. And the lens has built in neutral density filters...lol so not at all like a telescope! All of this makes for an extremely expensive lens.

Let's not forget that it's basically the same kind of thing that applies to ENG-applications for camera's (this setup is more seen in EFP applications, ENG = Electronic News Gathering, EFP = Electronic Field Production, or also called "Multi-camera setup" which usually involves an outside broadcast van that connects multiple camera's). That said, I must say that people working in the video industry when it comes to recording video who have never worked in live television seem to be totally ignoring video camera's that are actually designed as such, and sometimes seem to come up with absolutely ridiculous solutions for problems that would not have existed should they have gone for a video camera, but choose a photo camera with video function because of the "Oh my god look at the cinematic look it gives!"-thing. It has also caused people to ridicule TV setups a lot ("Why on earth is it so big, so heavy and so cumbersome?" or "I can shoot 4K with my phone, you know?") when they saw one, and then I saw people looking for solutions how to "overcome the 29 minutes recording limit on a photo camera with video function" or "How to stop my camera from overheating" or "How to improve phone video quality?" and I could mention "Well, that's exactly why we use these kind of camera's, not only are they designed with video in mind (and thus have greater cooling for the sensor to stop the overheating problem) but we can also make long recordings without being worried it suddenly stops without reason" (which happens when people do not read the manual which clearly states this possible limit :P.) DSLR's and other kinds of camera's with a reasonably big sensor have their place and they have opened up a lot of creative oppurtinities formerly only available to people with serious money (or access to facility companies with big money budgets :P), but sometimes I see someone fumbling around with a skeleton of magic arms, knobs and the like only to be able to connect a monitor/recorder, audio recorder and a light, and I could be thinking "You could've tackled the first 2 problems with a regular videocamera, you know? And the camera would have a place for a light out of it's own, actually?" (That is, next to the problem of having a HUGE depth of field that makes keeping something to stay in focus a real challenge, especially when I see someone working with a photolens that is not designed for that job because of the shallow angular movement when manual focusing).
@@DARQAURA I worked for the local television station in my city for almost 10 years and I am now a service desk employee maintaining videocamera's (usually the smaller ones, but sometimes also the ENG-camera's) at a regional television station. So, yes :P. Though, at the local television station we usually hired ENG or EFP-style camera's because local television is way different in Europe than it is in something like the US most of the time (almost all positions at a local television station are voluntary here, because the budgets are small, and for some local stations so small that they basically can not exist for a very long time). In other words: we could not afford a single camera of that type :P.
It’s funny how things change: the studio cameras we had when I started working in 1982 were enormous by comparison - General Electric PE-350s. The camera alone weighed several hundred pounds and required a rack full of equipment to make a picture. The cable was about an inch and a quarter in diameter, and so heavy that you needed a separate puller if you were doing a truck shot of any length. Of course, these were tube-type cameras that pre-dated any kind of automatic setup, so getting them registered and color balanced took about half an hour after they had warmed up. Our cameras today need very little attention, and the more challenging setups for the geometry of each color’s pickup tube (plus the luminance channel’s tube on some cameras) are totally eliminated nowadays: your registration never changes, unless you drop the camera and damage the optical block. Hooray for progress!
In 1982 we still had landline phones with rotating dialer and now look at what we're up to ? Any "smart"phone has more power in your pant's pocket than an 1982 Cray computer !
so that's how those cameras work. that is just a fantastically high spec piece of equipment. I'm just such a huge fan of the extremes of high tech equipment and I love that zoom lens more than anything. I'm amazed that the bulk of the cost is that lens alone. so thanks for getting all those parts together to make this video for us

Well, you can shoot high quality footage with equipment for a few thousand bucks. You cannot do live transmission of a football match, but in many settings you can work around the limitations that equipment has. If you have enough light, you can even get great quality with rather cheap equipment.
As he mentioned this setup is only necessary if you are doing a live broadcast where your camera placement is limited. Like for a football game where you camera is placed somewhere far away from the field and you have to zoom very quickly for details like a facial expression of a player or the movement of the ball etc. If you have the option to "stage" a video shoot where you can choose the optimum camera placement and lighting all the time and be able to redo a take then you can get similar results with much cheaper equipment like youtubers do.

@@Billy_Darley so if they were given a shitty camera to do the same job they should be paid less? How expensive the equipment is does not correlate to how skillful the job is, or the demand of that job
When I worked as a broadcast cameraman, it was always good fun to hear 'don't forget that lens costs more than your house!' while climbing up a stage or ladder with that lens... Good old times!
So, basically it's expensive because the engineers who designed the lens said "fuck tradeoffs, this thing is going to be an unassailable beast with no flaws and amazing capabilities and we're going to charge whatever the hell we please for it".

But if you plan and take the time to practice, have good takes, and a variety of shots; you'll have a far better foundation to edit from. An editor will appreciate it and try to honour the effort by editing it at its best. Now I'm new here so I don't know if he edits it himself. But one major advanced step you see in these edits is that there is added audio under the transitions and visual beats. Making them more digetic. Editing works best when it flows and goes unnoticed. So when you stop to wonder how he does it? It's technical, yes, but the main force behind it is that he has a healthy edit. He's adding a feeling to it. That's a good editor. But even if you're not a good editor you can just copy from a good one and get along. I'm not a good editor actually, but I've tutorialed my way through and have been doing paid work for 5 years. If I were to do a video like this I wouldn't have turned it out so nice. I'd have to steal ideas from a lot of others. And at a certain point you do steal whether you notice or not. Editors tend to use the same sound effects, music, transitions, and plug-ins, and even fonts. Unintentionally you can't tell the original ideas from the templated ones. But just doing it, gets you there. Have tons of video, audio, software, and time. And block out all distractions. You'll find out if you're as good or even better than Zebra.

@@Chiszle I think your answer brings a tremendous amount of value ! Thank you very much. Sound design is very important I like doing it. Yes I edit everything myself. But for graphic animations etc I use bits of templates or things I've already done in the past. It's quite rare to do an animation from scratch.
SD digital video has been used for movies that played in the theaters. That is way worse than iPhone quality. Broadcast cameras require a lot more resolution than cinema cameras where 2k is still the norm for even the top blockbusters.
@@0ooTheMAXXoo0 you're talking in terms of resolution my friend, which isn't even close to being the most important thing in a cinema camera, but still modern digital cinema cameras shoot at least 6k with 8k being a common option, so comparing a 50$ camera module in an iphone with cinema cameras that cost tens of thousands of dollars isn't the brightest idea.

Technically that’s possible with other cameras as well. You will need to use faster shutter speed to get sharp photos of fast moving objects and big aperture with good sensor to account for the lost light.
@@themisir right like he said you can do that. But also can not switch between a bunch of different quicksettings and broadcast fiberopticly

Thought the same thing. Why? *click* well damn that was interesting. Well played TH-cam.
I used to work for a full service TV broadcast studio. Every time we got a request for a smaller production I had to discuss our camera rental prices. People just didn't understand that the technology is much more complex and high-end than a small DSLR for a TH-cam production. I wish I could have just sent this video along at the time.
It seems that the bandwagon of 'cheap digital gear' creates a mentality that is oblivious to engineering aspects of lens functionality and camera control that is much harder to do on the cheap!
The costs have come down quite a bit though that you can now get cheaper gear that will often outperform the big, bulky ENG cameras from just a few short years ago. Like you're paying tens of thousands for an XDCAM, which still only has a 2/3'' or even a 1/2'' sensor, where as Sony's own FS7 has a full frame sensor that produces some really nice cinema quality video, and costs nearly half as much. But it largely depends on what you're doing with it. I'd still use a proper EFP setup for sports. I don't think those cheaper cameras work with CCUs. Plus the big boys support those monster lenses. But for news and documentaries, those bulky ENG cameras should be relegated to the scrap heap. Camera operators have given enough money to the chiropractic industry. lol
@MLWATKK Yes, I have a Canon, and my whole setup, probably would cost around $8K, for camera, both lenses I have, tripod, mic with wind-reduction cover, LED light, extra battery, carry case, etc. Thankfully I got some of that on trade in, and I won a giveaway at a store for some gear, but that would still assume being able to change lenses. And for affordable video, the Sony camcorders are about $1000, but they don't have good depth of field, the lighting often needs to be edited, and they're super sensitive to motion meaning you need a really fancy tripod. I used one on hard wood floor, and a kid ran by it and shook it. My dad was able to wire up a way to be able to control zoom on his Sony camcorder from a greater distance, but most aren't compatible with that, so you also need whatever staging to put the operator into the right position to do everything. It's a lot of post-production work, to get anything under $20K to look anywhere as good as live TV.
@@MmntechCaThese Sonys were around for years now and produce a extremely more pleasing picture imho compared to cropped sensor cameras like the usual big ones in the studio. And yea they are cheaper but you know what the problem is? It’s just not compatible with the control room equipment and the whole studio environment. And most studios only invest big numbers every 20 years or so. Like my ex employer has upgraded the equipment the last time when broadcast stations switched from SD to HD. Some studios are still upscaling from SD 16:9 to HD to save money on equipment. TV is just it’s own universe 😅
Funnily enough, I saw a show on Discovery shot entirely on an Alpha mirrorless and 2 go pros. It was a travel show though
That zoom just so satisfactory and so unreal. It actually doesn't even feel expensive anymore when you see what it can do instead you wonder how the hell did Fuji manage to make it within under this price range.
I actually shot a couple of college games for ESPN, and here's a fun fact: We didn't control the apertures on our cameras. There was a person in the control room (if we needed them to do something, their call sign over the radio was ISO) who managed the exposure and color balance of the camera. They'd deal with (as their name implied) the gain of the camera, the aperture, color balance, ND, you name it. That way the operators only had to worry about composition (and very occasionally focus).
Also: lifting one of those $250K box lenses onto a scissor lift was VERY nerve wracking.
Definitely!
it’s on CCU
Fascinating stuff. I had no idea it worked that way. Thanks for sharing.
This is very common in a broadcast setup. This, as you indicated, allows the operator to focus on getting the shot. But more importantly, it allows one person in a controlled environment to ensure all the cameras have a consistent look. They have a calibrated monitor for each camera, a vectorscope to check color, and a waveform monitor to check the brightness.
Quite right. But we had ours managed via the software automatically while shooting fight nights. I must admit as well, that we were achieving reputable results on gear worth a fraction of the cost. As in less than 1/10th of a $150k cam.

I'm a helicopter broadcast camera operator for years and this video opened my mind about why the hell it's so expensive.. yea, aviation makes the prices go even higher (3x higher in my case) since it has ultra gimbal stabilization included, imagine all this zoom without shaking even with helicopter making turns, wind speed changing, rain, etc. And it being steady just like a high end tripod
Just out of curiosity, does helicopter gimbals still use enormous gyroscopes for stabilization, or have you all moved over to motorized gimbals like drones use?

Phone cameras will never be able to produce what a camera lens that foes on your SLR or mirrorless camera will, so it isn't a surpise that the cinematograpgy and TV cameras haven't got smaller or much cheaper.
Take a look at the technology that goes into ARRI Signature Prime Lenses and you will see why they're expensive.
yes, it is often difficult to explain to people why I bought a camera and take pictures with it. they just don't understand why I don't take pictures and can't take pictures on my phone as well.
I'm a landscape photographer and it's pretty common these days to be told by random members of the public that their phone can take the same photos my mirrorless camera can, I just try and explain you can't miniaturise a lens because of the laws of physics, photography is all about capturing light so the more light the better, so a small lens will always limit the range and quality of pictures you can take with it and technology will never override that.
Interesting the budget you need.
But how much do ABC sports make in advertising revenue during a football game? Your equipment budget directly correlates with your revenue or expected revenue. How much does it cost to get a good camera person to operate that and a production manager to manage multiple cameras as well as the assorted technicians that support them? The equipment is part of the whole package. As you saw unless you're doing this every day you rent the equipment and hire the people on a project basis with upfront money for the initial setup and then count on making a profit on the back end. You only buy it when you are big enough to need it for every event you film and produce on a daily or weekly basis or if you're making a dozen films in a studio a month. Its all about scale!

Used to work in broadcast and I can tell you that almost all of our cameras in studio were robots.
They were operated by a couple guys in a room 20 yards away, Next to the colorist.
Also, our cameras were all genlocked so that the various set monitors wouldn't show artifacts.

Amazing video. Never knew I was curious about this, but you broke down everything clearly to where now I'm super excited about broadcast cameras. You look at them and you immediately think old/outdated (at least I did). Definitely flipped the script on me with this one. Great job man.
When I worked in Sports Production, we had a saying, “Sony Parts cost more then body parts.” A broken arm is cheaper to fix then damaged gear.
Kind of a sad statement, isn't it? We're such an advanced species we can create an electrical picture box that's worth more than a human life and designed only to enable couch-dwellers to watch men kick an inflated pig's bladder around in crystal-clear 4k, but we can't solve world hunger.
@@Rutherford_Inchworm_III World hunger can probably be solved, but it wouldn't be within any system most people want besides perhaps those going hungry if even them.
It can be seen in some non-white immigration to USA, where once someone has moved to the USA they don't want other non-whites to come in because they've already made it. They may even describe anyone else trying to come in as dirty and whatever, because why do they care as they've already made it in.
I think this was something that could occur near the Q3-Q4 of 2015. Or just at any time if you bother looking in the right places.
Basically anyone that works enough or are lucky enough does not want anyone else to gain as much as them while not working as much or being as lucky as them. Or gain anything at all, as is the case with immigration. They probably know what type of people may come in.
If enough people wanted that it would have already happened. One could ask a large group of people, but you can't verify that it is the truth, so you'll have to look at what actually is rather than what people are saying it is. Even if some are honest, it can't be verified and can't count.
Some say stuff like "If I work as a surgeon and someone works at McDonald's and make the same money, why would I waste my time working as a surgeon if I could earn just as much at McDonald's?"
Which is funny because they're implying you spend all that time in the hopes of saving lives just to..get money? I would think you become a surgeon to save some lives, but I guess it was all about money in the end.

@D What Herkan said was completely valid and legit, and isn't a result of merely "western philosophy" either. The phenomena of peoples competing and fighting over limited resources occurs worldwide and has throughout time, and even occurs among groups claiming to be altruistic or egalitarian. Even when there's enough to go around, one group may want to hoard more because they're motivated by self-interest. Furthermore, one group trying to help another group can easily step on the toes of a third group, which then causes conflict between the first and third due to differing interests.
Human psychology and politics makes tribalism inevitable, and one could look at it in dialectical terms of _Thesis-Anti-thesis-Synthesis._ There was a time when Irish, Italians and Poles were looked down upon in the US, but now they're part of the dominant society who may look down upon another group. There were times when French and later German speakers faced discrimination and were forced to abandon their language, but now those languages and identities are seen as positive or harmless with others now looked at with suspicion. This is what Herkan was talking about.
I didn’t have high hopes for the accuracy or pertinence of information contained in this video, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Very well done indeed and highly accurate! I spent 35 years working with these beasts with a major broadcaster in North America. The video brought back some good memories and reminded me that I didn’t miss carrying all that bulky (but necessary) weight. Not at all 😉 Again, well done!
It's deffinitly one of those cases where you just can't shrink everything, it's the same as people wondering why DSLRs still exist, phone cameras are actually pretty terrible in some situations such as long focal lengths, manual controls, long exposure, and so on. I got a Canon Rebel T6 mostly for astrophotography and learned first hand just how much more it can do. Having done that now, the capabilities of those broadcast cameras make a lot of sense.
@@UNSCPILOT The abilities of the broadcast cam+lens is simply stratospheric ... and priced accordingly.
I'm pretty sure my local network station just shoots its broadcasts with cell phones and does its audio production through Air-pods with a couple of potentiometers. This is to match both the quality of the content and the quality of the broadcast over the air. If anything more is needed, they just depend on the national network or an independent contractor who has a Wowgo.
The production quality of this video is off the scale.

Lens manufacturing is one of the disciplines our current civilization has truly mastered, controlling both material properties and surface shapes down to such precision that we can often even reach the limits of physics (diffraction limit), and then we even use these marvels to create artistic and emotional expression. It's something we should keep feeling wonder when we encounter it.
As a stills photographer, it's interesting to have a look in to the other side of the industry and drool over all the fancy expensive equipment film makers have. This kit makes my DSLR and lenses look like a kids toy. :D
Trust me it's still great
and yet the difference in the finished product is marginal
This specific isn’t really for film making though. This camera is used in Television.
my thoughts exactly
@@cboyslim5490 It seems that way, right up until you need the sort of tricky shots where you'd definitely know it was missing.

Yet the DSLR is an IQ that's WAY better than a broadcast camera (rolling shutter etc aside). I laughed my ass off when I found out how TINY the sensors they use are. 4:21

Thats mainly because once you gain a bigger audience, more people are converted from first time viewer to subscriber faster compared to small channels that need the quality to impress a smaller amount of people. No doubt anyone would just go vlog style if it didnt matter.
Can this Camera be used for movie production??
@@isaacandrews5330 if I'm impressed by the first video like in this case I immediately subscribe. As obviously I want to see more.
No, it's overproduced to the point of wasting the viewer's time. He could have conveyed this information far more quickly. He never gave us a good look at the tripod. As they say: "SHOW us, don't TELL us." He also forgot power and storage.
@@jaythunder551 TV lenses only needed to be good enough for TV broadcast, which was low resolution. Today broadcasts are done in much higher resolution than before, but I don't think it's as high resolution as film. So, this lens, and the camera, might not be sharp enough to make a modern movie.
That animation that split the different components was stunning.
They missed a HUGE opportunity to unzoom at the end and show they have been recording this from far across the room. Im not mad, im disappointed.
They would've had to have two cameras since one is in the background, but it would have been worth it, I agree.
Only would have really worked if they could zoom all the way out from the lenses max zoom, and theres no way that room is big enough for that
^^ big brain on this one

"in broadcast, the camera has to adapt to the environment". Great summation that really drove the point home.

Well said, same goes for me
I feel like I need to pay for this quality of production
Well, that’s only if your broadcast is live. If you have the chance to take the footage to post, then you don’t need such a specialized gear. You know, if you are no live you can cut camera, move it closer, avoid in camera zooms, etc. Hence you won’t need that fluid head, that tripod and that lens. Not even that monitor.

TV cameras shrunk quite a lot actually.
The benemoth you're seeing is the lens. There's little margin to miniaturization in such item, as you have two constraints fighting against each other.
Physics on one side and the need of performance on the other.
The only way to shrink the lens is better glass science or much much better image sensors
So basically a telescope with screen recording.
Well yeah if you ignore the other 5 features that telescopes/recording devices dont typically have.
@@vincea1830 please do not ignore features
Not really, it does a bunch of stuff that is totally impossible on a telescope
No...because telescopes don’t do near focus...8mm is a crazy wide angle. These lenses don’t have the barrel or pincushion distortion that zoom lenses often suffer from either...or the focus breathing. And the lens has built in neutral density filters...lol so not at all like a telescope! All of this makes for an extremely expensive lens.
Telescope has not zoom...
imagine seeing someone try to clean the lens with their t-shirt
As someone dives at them FULL SPEED screaming NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

.

WOW this is the first time so many people agreed with me 😂... Have a nice day/evening ✌🏾
This is equipment almost nobody will ever get their hands on. This is informative for anyone curious about live broadcasting
Let's not forget that it's basically the same kind of thing that applies to ENG-applications for camera's (this setup is more seen in EFP applications, ENG = Electronic News Gathering, EFP = Electronic Field Production, or also called "Multi-camera setup" which usually involves an outside broadcast van that connects multiple camera's).
That said, I must say that people working in the video industry when it comes to recording video who have never worked in live television seem to be totally ignoring video camera's that are actually designed as such, and sometimes seem to come up with absolutely ridiculous solutions for problems that would not have existed should they have gone for a video camera, but choose a photo camera with video function because of the "Oh my god look at the cinematic look it gives!"-thing.
It has also caused people to ridicule TV setups a lot ("Why on earth is it so big, so heavy and so cumbersome?" or "I can shoot 4K with my phone, you know?") when they saw one, and then I saw people looking for solutions how to "overcome the 29 minutes recording limit on a photo camera with video function" or "How to stop my camera from overheating" or "How to improve phone video quality?" and I could mention "Well, that's exactly why we use these kind of camera's, not only are they designed with video in mind (and thus have greater cooling for the sensor to stop the overheating problem) but we can also make long recordings without being worried it suddenly stops without reason" (which happens when people do not read the manual which clearly states this possible limit :P.)
DSLR's and other kinds of camera's with a reasonably big sensor have their place and they have opened up a lot of creative oppurtinities formerly only available to people with serious money (or access to facility companies with big money budgets :P), but sometimes I see someone fumbling around with a skeleton of magic arms, knobs and the like only to be able to connect a monitor/recorder, audio recorder and a light, and I could be thinking "You could've tackled the first 2 problems with a regular videocamera, you know? And the camera would have a place for a light out of it's own, actually?" (That is, next to the problem of having a HUGE depth of field that makes keeping something to stay in focus a real challenge, especially when I see someone working with a photolens that is not designed for that job because of the shallow angular movement when manual focusing).
@@dontwaste111 sooooo kind of like the Camera version of Top Gear?
Count me in!
Also I make videos too, come check em out.
@@Dutch3DMaster Interesting! I guess you work in the video industry?
@@DARQAURA I worked for the local television station in my city for almost 10 years and I am now a service desk employee maintaining videocamera's (usually the smaller ones, but sometimes also the ENG-camera's) at a regional television station. So, yes :P.
Though, at the local television station we usually hired ENG or EFP-style camera's because local television is way different in Europe than it is in something like the US most of the time (almost all positions at a local television station are voluntary here, because the budgets are small, and for some local stations so small that they basically can not exist for a very long time).
In other words: we could not afford a single camera of that type :P.
It’s funny how things change: the studio cameras we had when I started working in 1982 were enormous by comparison - General Electric PE-350s. The camera alone weighed several hundred pounds and required a rack full of equipment to make a picture. The cable was about an inch and a quarter in diameter, and so heavy that you needed a separate puller if you were doing a truck shot of any length. Of course, these were tube-type cameras that pre-dated any kind of automatic setup, so getting them registered and color balanced took about half an hour after they had warmed up.
Our cameras today need very little attention, and the more challenging setups for the geometry of each color’s pickup tube (plus the luminance channel’s tube on some cameras) are totally eliminated nowadays: your registration never changes, unless you drop the camera and damage the optical block. Hooray for progress!
In 1982 we still had landline phones with rotating dialer and now look at what we're up to ? Any "smart"phone has more power in your pant's pocket than an 1982 Cray computer !
This is broadcast level quality production. This could be a TV episode! Incredible job.
Ive been wondering about this for 0 seconds, but now I'm satisfied somehow.

It might be online but process of learning it is still point of going to college.
I have a degree in mathematics and in a pub when someone wants to sound intellectual by quoting some element of maths of physics they usually get it wrong and I mean simple things like understanding words like "linear" or using the word "exponential" when something increases rapidly.
All the knowledge is online and stays there and doesn't enter people's heads unless they go through the difficult process of learning it.
@@matthewbaynham6286 "...when someone wants to sound intellectual by *quoting some element of maths of physics..."*
Huh?
"they usually get it wrong and I mean simple things... like 'exponential' when something increases rapidly."
There's a mathematical definition of exponential and there's a layman's definition of exponential, just like the term 'theory' as it relates to science and as it relates colloquially. You are literally wrong about other people being wrong in the pub.
I am speechless after watching this video. It boggles the mind that we have videos on an internet platform by small content creators that are quality-wise on par with big TV-Studios.

Well, you can shoot high quality footage with equipment for a few thousand bucks. You cannot do live transmission of a football match, but in many settings you can work around the limitations that equipment has. If you have enough light, you can even get great quality with rather cheap equipment.
As he mentioned this setup is only necessary if you are doing a live broadcast where your camera placement is limited. Like for a football game where you camera is placed somewhere far away from the field and you have to zoom very quickly for details like a facial expression of a player or the movement of the ball etc.
If you have the option to "stage" a video shoot where you can choose the optimum camera placement and lighting all the time and be able to redo a take then you can get similar results with much cheaper equipment like youtubers do.

I still cannopt figure out why and how are you so good in terms of editing, shooting and as an information source :O Missed ya dude! Don't want to hurry You since it might affect the quality but damn me, please post more often
I'm an editor, and you can spend a lot of time fixing bad camera work and stretching very few good shots to go a long way. But if you plan and take the time to practice, have good takes, and a variety of shots; you'll have a far better foundation to edit from. An editor will appreciate it and try to honour the effort by editing it at its best. Now I'm new here so I don't know if he edits it himself. But one major advanced step you see in these edits is that there is added audio under the transitions and visual beats. Making them more digetic. Editing works best when it flows and goes unnoticed. So when you stop to wonder how he does it? It's technical, yes, but the main force behind it is that he has a healthy edit. He's adding a feeling to it. That's a good editor. But even if you're not a good editor you can just copy from a good one and get along. I'm not a good editor actually, but I've tutorialed my way through and have been doing paid work for 5 years. If I were to do a video like this I wouldn't have turned it out so nice. I'd have to steal ideas from a lot of others. And at a certain point you do steal whether you notice or not. Editors tend to use the same sound effects, music, transitions, and plug-ins, and even fonts. Unintentionally you can't tell the original ideas from the templated ones. But just doing it, gets you there. Have tons of video, audio, software, and time. And block out all distractions. You'll find out if you're as good or even better than Zebra.
