When they originally aired Super Millionaire, I always wondered how they did the camera work revolving around the contestant. There may have been another camera with moving parts, but they may have used the same one like every other scene they took.
Unless they actually used a cameraman and walked around the set, but I seriously doubt it. Might have been too noisy for the effects in the sound and music. Then again, getting the "automated" camera to tilt upward might not have been possible.
(If this is a duplicate thread; I apologize. It's something I've wondered about for a long time.)

They used a Steadicam. If you look very closely on the floor, you can see the video cable dragging behind.

I just noticed that on Todd Kim's run! Thanks for the info.

Actually, the production team started using a Steadicam with Super Millionaire...then eventually with the 10th Anniversary.

The Steadicam delivered what were unequivocally the most unique camera shots in game show history. It turned studio camerawork into an art form.

Your inquiry of how the camera got so close to the contestants reminded me of this little video of Celebrity Millionaire back in the day!
