What's its name?
« on: April 09, 2008, 09:19:40 PM »
Just out of curiosity, can someone tell me what the proper name for the camera is that is used when Michael shows his reaction to winning the million? Here's a clip:

I've always called it the handheld camera (since somebody is holding it), but I have no idea if that is the proper name.

I've heard some people call it the "gopher cam" when it's out near the audience

Yeah... that's when it is close to the stage (it appears ground-level, as if a gopher were looking at the stage).
