For sporting events we use iPads for videos and photos. The reason is that the quality is "good enough" and the large screen makes it so much easier to actually follow the action on the screen. When we tried to use phones, people were much more likely to watch the action not using the screen, and then would miss the shot because they couldn't get the camera aligned with the shot fast enough.
- monkeynotes 5y agoWhen you say "we" do you mean a professional outfit, or just as a group of consumers at a sports event? I thought pros were all about DSLRs and long lenses at sporting events. What kind of action can you actually detail with an iPad's lens?
- kenjackson 5y agoSorry. For "we" I mean parents at youth/school sports events. Not professionals.
- astrange 5y agoYou can use them as remote controls for your camera, though I'm not sure how bad the latency is.
- girvo 5y agoDepends. At home with Fujifilm’s system, it’s maybe 200ms or so behind the camera? Somewhere with a huge amount of people saturating the wireless bands? Probably worse lol
