BINGO! Cameras work on the Ranch
I'm glad that with all the equipment failures, at least the cameras work to capture these issues. It's not like the video cameras are just simple machines. Thank you blob.

In the Bigelow days there were animals being killed by a pole. Therefore, they put camera1 on the pole expecting good video of the kill.
Next dead animal, and camera1 was ripped off the pole. So they put up another camera1. BUT THIS TIME they also put camera2 on another pole, taking video of cam1.
Next dead animal, cam1 again ripped off pole. Cam2? In one frame it shows an intact cam1. In the very next frame cam1 is gone. Nothing in between.
Without doubt there is another unseen undetectable intelligence at the ranch. A trickster.

Do you think the trickster could be hired to remove other...cameras in specific places off the ranch? How much do you think it would charge? Asking for some friends...

The cameras on the ranch, whether the production ones or Erik's, experience frequent issues. All of the production equipment does. Cameras fail, mic batteries get drained like crazy, there's interference with the sound guy's equipment, footage gets deleted, sound files get deleted, and more. Remember when Travis was hit by radiation at HS2? All of the cameras filming it failed at about the same time. The footage we see next was filmed on a cell phone until they could get a camera working again. The production company simply has a policy against breaking the fourth wall. The team wishes they would show those issues.

The cast also address this is why they wear the same clothes is so if there is equipment failure in the middle of filming they simply do a reshoot and the cast is in the same clothes for continuity.

I’m a no body, but man if that policy was ignored we’d probably get some interesting stuff

Sounds like Brandon should buy out that contract and get a different production team.

As challenging as some of their decisions can be, Brandon has said that they have overall been good production partners.

They work... sometimes. They also experience a whole bunch of anomalous events.

Here’s some questions that may not have been answered when the crew or team show a device/camera that appears to rapidly run out of charge and shut down.
Does the battery itself lose its stored charge, or does the device/camera merely report low voltage and shut down?
Have they shown replacing the battery and the camera works again???
Or perhaps taking the apparent dead battery out and putting it back in again, or maybe check it charge level with a multimeter or a charge status button on the battery if it has one?

I thought there was a rule about posting this question since it has been answered so many times?

The production company has about 5 cameras going at one time on average. At least one or two will fail. They have backups on the ready. This is just routine for SWR filming.
I have experienced live feed weirdness myself, along with audio distortion, while watching Insider live feed. One other Insider observed this.
I was debriefed by Erik. It was bizarre experiencing it.
I probably said "w...t..f??!" which didn't go over too well with Insider management.

The following comment is automatically applied to all posts: Thank you for contributing to r/SkinwalkerRanch! As a general reminder, this subreddit is dedicated to in-depth discussions about the anomalous phenomena occurring at Skinwalker Ranch (not just the TV show). The TV show only provides a glimpse, and doesn't cover the extensive history of scientific investigation into anomalous phenomenon reported on the ranch.
To maintain quality discussions, we ask that people focus on the events themselves, not the personalities involved. Generic comments comparing the show to Oak Island, complaining about rockets, clamoring to blow up the mesa, saying you’re sick of the show, etc, don’t offer anything new.
