Holy shaky camera, Batman

So, i?m Trying to watch Stock Eliminator qualifying on NHRA.TV. The main camera shakes and vibrates so much as to make watching it almost unbearable. This is not the first time I have noticed it this year. Come on, NHRA, tie the damn thing down(so to speak). Renew next year? Not so much!

My wife loves to watch it all and so do I and she is an avid fan of stock since that?s what we run but suffers from vertigo and the constant shaking/movement is enough to set off the vertigo so she won?t watch. NHRA?s response is always it?s the wind but that camera is mounted on a tripod and a long pole which is IMHO kinda cheap,would love to see them improve this as there seems to always have movement,NHRA.TV can?t you do better for us fans for the $159 bucks? Wanting to renew next yr. but got me now contemplating this? Chad Langdon 706C G/SA

I have noticed that myself.

However it seems to mostly early in a race. I have suspected they switch to the Fox Network cameras later and get a better quality feed.

Maybe Warren can give us the scoop.
