10 Pin Cam
Because the most interesting aspect of bowling is obscured | |
An overhead view of the pins getting knocked down, replayed in slow-motion on the scoreboard.

Thought this was maybe going to be that cheesy 1970's multifaceted filter look for pinhole cameras. |

And I thought it would be a camera set deep inside the finger holes of the ball, a bit like they use in The Big Lebowski. |

They have this on TV, I think also some bigger alleys might have this feature as well. |

They have bowling on TV? [shudder] |

You're kidding, right? That's about as dull as watching people play Texas Hold'em on TV. |

I first thought this was going to be a camera with a 10-pin

post here, so it must be a mechanical cam that has 10 pins
in it for some reason, maybe for configurability, like a
mechanical light timer. |
