it's weird that many people would show up to watch Crossfit.

At first, I thought to myself "why isn't this guy participating as an athlete?" Then I realized this guy was probably an athlete before.

From what I saw on another post they get the previous winner and have him film it.

He's using a gimbal, likely a MoVi Pro for stabilization, and the camera op is remotely pointing the camera

Based on the video evidence where you can SEE THE GUY RUNNING WITH A CAMERA... probably not.

why do ppl assume these hard working people arent getting paid an acceptable amount for their work and that ppl automatically are underpaid

How about "ppl" get a raise for exceptional work and you don't assume that I think the dude is underpaid. Wtf?

Looks like a crossfit event , i don't think running fast means he can also lift a lot or have extreme endurance .

This is at the end of a grueling workout. Camera dude is fleet, though

He also had a head start and and finished well after they did.

You cant have nice things if you pay attention to the world around you instead of just assuming you know whats going on? thats a sad life.

Not to minimize the accomplishment, but this was the last leg of the suicide run. Those dudes are winded by this point.

What is this?

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Crossfit games. a series of events in different disciplines nothing overly complicated, difficult, or strenuous but combine to test fitness

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Things that most people of reasonable fitness could perform, but done faster. 30 pull ups, 100 yard dash, 25 miles on a rowing machine...

There's a documentary on it that's pretty cool! It's called "World's Fittest".

No... I pulled these screen grabs from a completely different but remarkably similar looking gif that puts the cameraman in a worse place.

I put in the hard work to find a gif where the competitors were wearing the exact same cloths, just to make the camera man look bad.

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Yes. The point remains that the camera man didn't win but still did something impressive nonetheless

I get it, I do....but...I'm sure there is technology there somewhere helping with the stability...

yes technology that weighs like 40 pounds

Not every stabilizer weighs that much. Check out the DJI Osmo.

Yes but he's not carrying a small camera. That's a broadcast ENG B4 camera with a wireless SDI unit too. Definitely a heavy kit either way.

Simple gimbals weigh like 5 pounds Max for a rig that size, the gimbal for my GoPro weighs ounces

Or an edit in post. One of the reasons pros film in 5k-8k res is so they can stabilize the footage, crop, etc. without extra weight.

Worked in an equipment bureau for an art college. Can confirm there are lightweight stabilizers that are literally only a few pounds.

These few pounds are still significantly more then the comoetirors are wearing, they are not wearing a shirt for example
