Sports event camera

Question:

Hi,

I'm not sure if you can help but maybe you could point me in the right direction. I am currently looking for a wide enough lens to cover a rugby pitch from a side view (goals at either end left and right). The main stand that I want to install the Camera on is approx. 15m away from the pitch and the camera will be approx. 8-10m high. The pitch view I need is approx. 110m wide.

Many Thanks,

M Grover

This answer from Erron Spalsbury who is one of our guest experts.

"That would have to be a true 180 degree camera. The only one I know of that goes that wide is the Arecont 8185."

Hope that helps.
