FOX is testing a new overhead camera

Sticking with the Los Angeles Times, MBT Imara Sandals about FOX’s desire to use a new “Field Cam,” which would travel overhead the diamond, giving all of us at home new angles. Apparently they used it last night in the Dodgers-Angels exhibition game.  There was something like this in the playoffs last fall, but that was limited in that the camera stayed in foul territory. This new thing would go over the actual field.

There are concerns voiced by players in the article about the MBT Panda,camera being intrusive, even when it’s in foul territory. Fly balls go high, after all, so there’s always the potential for interference.  Of course, given that baseball has no problem with an actual catwalk-laden stadium that routinely interferes with both fair and foul balls, I’m guessing this is something everyone could live with.

I liked those shots in the playoffs. I think it would be cool to have a camera track a runner going from first to third or catching a double play from a MBT Sirima, view directly overhead.  I have faith that they could pull this off with minimal disruption.
