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] |
|

Correction: They don't have _nearly enough_ bowling on TV |
|

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

Yeep, been there, seen that. |

or golf, or billiards, or curling, or marathons, or.... |

I regret to inform you that, among those of us who actually watch bowling on TV, this is quite well-known. |

At our bowling alley there are several lanes of SUPER TURBO BOWLING with video cameras capturing the action and an instant replay of the ball hitting the pins. Baked. |

I first thought this was going to be a camera with a 10-pin
connector. Then I thought that wasn't interesting enough to
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. |
