Re: Hard to shoot a plastic bag

At least the golf cameramen know where to start looking: the golfer. Otherwise, how do you find a bone needle in a haystack?

Well, if the drone is actually being sighted in the area............

I've worked with a 'spotter' before, one with binoculars who would direct the camera (or other equipment) operator to the 'object of interest' (aka 'target').

Spotting rabbits from some distance away where they have natural cover to blend with is on a par with spotting a drone, yet we could do it with relative ease once we were practised. A well-enough-trained camera op can do the same.
