[3] A handheld or Steadicam mounted camera following a similar trajectory is called a tracking shot as well.
In fact a tracking shot can use any manual or motorized conveyance, and may include careful planning for passing the camera between vehicles or modes.
[8] The "rail cam" made a public debut in the NHL on November 20, 2006 in the Colorado Avalanche/Dallas Stars hockey game.
The Versus cable television network used the camera during the game to test it out for a live use on a nationally broadcast program.
