The side angle isn't THAT bad, as long as the camera isn't static and follows the action (and zooms out when the players play away from the table). It's just that the corner angle is VASTLY superior. I mean, look how great this is: I'd use a wider angle lens, though... And the sponsor ads are...

Go to hell, WTT. Seriously.

Can't believe they actually listened.

Table tennis players are the best! 🤣

Now THIS is the angle I could get behind!

now you're talking!

I must admit I've gotten used to the side angle. It still sucks when they place the camera too high, but the Singapore example is actually rather good. It's still super annoying when the players move away and exit the frame, but that's easily remedied by zooming out and slightly swiveling the...

Amazing attendance. 🙄 EDIT: I didn't notice the "please do not sit" sign on the seats. Damn covid.

WELL DONE MATTIAS AND KRISTIAN!

They really didn't need to reinvent the bloody wheel. Old school angles are superior.

I can live with the net-level angle when there's an actual cameraman behind the camera, moving it left or right when the players move away from the table. But overall, I think it was bad idea and wouldn't mind seeing it go.

Gotta say I dig this look... Reminiscent of boxing. Bringing some of that glamour to TT was a solid idea.

I find it incredibly distracting when players move away from the table and suddenly they're out of the frame. This should never happen.

What a terrific camera angle. 😏

This camera angle is fantastic and really should be the braodcast standard. The net camera is great for replays.

Never heard of Ham Yu Song of DPRK until today, yet the chap is absolutely world class. This makes me so sad.

My team, the STK Srdoci 1, won our first match at the Croatian "HEP Superleague" yesterday, 3-2, after being down 2-1 and facing a match point. We started the championship with two back-to-back defeats, though we were burdened with injuries. Still are, sadly.

Holy cow, the final game of the bronze medal match was epic! Go Lilly! Also, the camera work is absolutely phenomenal, and I'd say, a huge slap in the face of the travesty that was the German Open coverage.

I don't buy it. Simultaneous coverage from multiple tables has been common for years, and we've rarely experienced annoyances of this magnitude. Certainly not in the last couple of years.

The grey ones from DHS look nice as well, but it still has a lot more to do with the lighting and camera angles relative to the light source. Last year's German Open was played on Donic tables which have a lighter matte blue surface, and it looked absolutely perfect:
