It's hard enough watching dozens of replays every week, but it's twice as difficult if the quality is poor.

I'm glad you mentioned this as I'd been planning to vent with a similar post several times already and didn't get to it. Adding on to what you said the amount of camera shake at some of these tracks is downright shameful tbh. I understand a number of these shots are from towers around the oval and there are windy days etc etc, but some of this stuff is nuts. Maybe they can't use a tripod or something but even handheld I don't understand why they're all in line ready for a start and whoever is holding the camera is like wearing a gopro on a pogo stick. Let's payout millions in purses and put our feed out there looking like this, smh...
