Precisely--the one condition would have to be that one of your drive team is holding it, or it's attached to the operator console somehow. Don't want a loose camera around.

The two problems I can see are safety (whoever has the camera can't focus on the match properly, most likely--unless it's a GoPro or similar, which is mostly what folks would bring anyways) and operator concentration (see safety).

Otherwise, your media team member gets the camera, and doesn't enter the carpet (the usual "safety boundary" during the match)--which is just about exactly how it goes these days.
