Just as a side note. Maybe this photo/video talk should be split from the News & Rumours thread?

I agree that most people filming professionally rallying are pretty useless at it. It's like everyone can film something, yet only a few are capable of creating films with stunning cinematography. I haven't filmed any rally since 2014 Finland - the rally where last of my gear got destroyed. So instead filming I spent the time spectating and guiding my friend, who was completely rookie at filming rallies, tho he had decent filming experience.

It took 2 days to get the shot to look nice and we didn't even get to discussing what spots are best for filming as I was busy attempting to kill my second GoPro and taking 360 photos on film.

I go on and on about TV as that's my field of work, but the short answer is that there really aren't many rally fans who could make the step to the pro level. So in a way it's a lose-lose scenario. One thing I liked in the McMaster article was that local and national events are good practice grounds. Practice makes perfect or what's the saying.
