Outside Source is similar but again people don’t complain here about that because it’s a “serious” show.


I could use many words to describe Outside Source. Serious is not one of them.


It’s basically someone walking around a wayyyyy too cramped balcony with an iPad touching a screen that has clunky UI. Not forgetting the handheld cam which is more shaky than what would be experienced in an earthquake and a dizzy-inducing shot from the newsroom up to the balcony.

It’s not a bad show but needs a few shakeups and some major improvements - in my view of course, you may not agree.

Outside Source doesn’t use a steady cam.

They do, for the intro shot and sometimes during interviews.

Do they? I don't recall seeing a Steadicam on OS I have seen a camera operator with a camera on their shoulder.

They don't. But, if you say so.

There’s no Steadicam on OS. Handheld camera - yes - but no Steadicam.

No - those are just regular handheld moves, no Steadicam rig involved.

It’s about time they invested in one then... either way too shaky.

This is why the breaking news strap should be semi transparent.

No, it’s why they should stop doing contributions by Skype.
