I'm a fairly experienced youth sports photographer but don't shoot much video. The football coaches have asked me to figure out a way of recording the games for later analysis and I'm in the investigation phase. Of course the season has already started and they'd like it yesterday. I'm leaning towards one of 4K camcorders (Panasonic or Sony) mounted to 12 ft survey pole with a bipod for the camera person to move along the sideline and get high angle shots. My guess is the camera person will probably need a display and control over the zoom level and recording. I understand that many of the 4K recorders can use a smartphone control but I'm slightly leery of the apps being robust enough. My camera people will probably be non-technical moms so it's got to be simple and reasonably bulletproof. Any thoughts? The gopro experiment this weekend was a fail because it was too wide angle and the app failed after the 1st quarter. Thanks,
Mike
