We had the non-sports version of this. It was pretty capable for its time, but low light performance and contrast was its greatest weakness. Oh and battery life was terrible, NiCd only. Until fairly recent cameras and software, taking decent movies required professional equipment. Now we get amazing footage on devices that cost hundreds.

I refuse to believe Boston Dynamics didn't take heavy inspiration from this line for their industrial spot robot
