Especially in loosely-scripted, live, or live-on-tape shows, a good camera operator

A floor manager hand-signals talent he/she's "on time" by

Matching: -A base design that allows raising and lowering the camera far beyond the range of studio pedestals.

Matching: -Maintaining focus during a camera or talent move while panning and/or zooming the camera simultaneously

You can do a combination crane-and-tongue maneuver in one smooth move.

If an ENG camera tripod has a built-in "spirit level,"

Matching: -A device built in to some heads that assist the operator in leveling the head. The operator levels the head by adjusting the support until the spirit level's bubble is perfectly centered.
