Climate activist gets knocked over by camera operator on live TV

A climate activist got knocked over by a camera operator after the eco-warrior stormed onto the set of a live dancing show in Sweden, according to Sky News host Paul Murray.

The skill of the cameraman to both take out the disruption while still having the camera focused on the dancers is insane

[@ravenshaw1514]

I mean that ended up happening but he actually turned it to protect the camera itself and just hit the dude with the crane, took out the protester and saved a camera probably worth more then 100k

Should have been a 5 pound sledgehammer on the end of it

[@DampRaccoon]

​@@ravenshaw1514yeah moving the camera closer to the protesters and pointing it downward at them was certainly protecting the camera 😅😅 -- the cameraman had one goal, to hit them. He didn't turn it away to protect - if I had to guess, the camera turned down because that's where he was moving the crane (no idea how the controls work and if this was a reaction automatically from the camera or instinctively by the operator)

The camera operators spend hours and hours figuring out the camera choreography for these dance shows. That operator was not gonna let some self important children throw off their hard work!😂 I'm also impressed with the dancers. They didn't miss a beat despite the interruption! I hope they got high scores

[@JustFootballThoughts]

I'm really wondering if he actually tried to hit them intentionally or if he just went on with his business and they happened to be in the wrong place. At least it looks like he was going for them because after hitting the first target he tried for the second real quick.

As a Swede who saw the scene I've read on some more reports about it and it turns out that the one who got hit by the camera was okay with it at some point. Apparently the reason was because the main point was about what they are fighting for. As for the cameraman you all probably are curious about, no further reports about him has been published. I believe there are 3 possible outcomes for him because of this: 1. He does at some point get a raise, but probably not a big one. 2. He gets a little warning for how he maneuvered the camera, since those cameras cost a lot of money and they want to be careful with them. They usually care pretty much about the camera cause you know why, but I do also think it's nice that they did also care a bunch about the one hit by the camera as written in the reports making sure that he was okay :P 3. Nothing happens except that people cheers for him. Some of the staff (I think) also said that these things are pretty normal to happen now. Kudos to them and the camerachad xd
