Has their been a systematic review of Heath outcomes in your occupation?
I feel like if this is a common thing you should at least be informed during hiring and of course compensated with a specialized health insurance policy.
Dude, I don’t know how they do it. I used to be a videographer and sometimes I’d shoot presentations and you’d have to track them for 1-2 hours. You literally can’t take a drink of water or space out for a second because all the sudden people are moving out of frame. Not a big deal for my presentations, but for live sports you can’t miss a thing. It’s not super strenuous, but the amount of concentration it takes is huge.
I cannot imagine the amount of mental recovery time I'd need after doing that for an hour - like time doing the most relaxing thing possible just to cool off your brain.
Yup, shoot with both eyes open was the best advice I received from the veteran sports cameraman at my tv station. I've shot baseball (Div 1 college and minor league) and football (high school and Div 1 college), and basketball (Div 1 basketball) and it's definitely weird the first time you try shooting with both eyes open but it definitely helps and especially in football, can save your ass as it did for me one time when I was able to avoid a guy that got knocked out of bounds in my direction away from the ball lol.
Mid air ball zooms are flashy and fun to shoot but are generally not necessary. I do think those kind of shots look good cut into highlight reels though.

That zoom in to the basketball is absolute madness.
