Just watching William and Kate doing a walkabout at Windsor, live. Couple of things I’ve never considered - what is the backhaul from the camera, and
how long do the batteries last?
I don't know what the current tech is exactly, but the ones I've seen
have a 10 to 15 cm long stubby antenna for a radio link and even my
ancient Sony mini DVCAM thing can do up to five or six hours on its
internal battery. Add a battery belt, and it could stay awake longer
than the camera operator. (The tapes (Remember those?) last 40 minutes
at Blu-Ray standard recording quality.)

I remember some years back when wireless cameras were a thing. One persona >looked particularly prat like as he had what looked like a 1 foot rubber
duck type aerial mounted on the top of his head on a strap on helmet thing
as he shot the video.
All this stuff about cooking the brain with mobiles comes to mind.
