Bought wrong cam to record skateboarding?

Never known a camera to exhibit ghosting since we had tubes? What do you mean?

I think you did. Sometimes, (well, it’s my only one) I use my phone even though it has decent quality. I don’t have much else to say.

hey i film skating alot, i use iphones sony vx1000 and a canon t6.

try diffrent lenses and messing with the colors, the newer iphones film good honestly. the clip above was filmed on an iphone 6

He never came back! He never explained his problem. You posted some clips which makes comment far easier. I wish he did the same thing – we never did find out what he meant by ghosting!

Phones can do amazing things now – and they're really quite decent in low light, in the same way my pro cameras are not!

So I am very familiar with the problem of ghosting. Shooting sports video with interlace mode is destined for failure. The time gap between the interlace frames, which the editor or player tries to lace back together, is loaded with blurring effects.
The problem is using the 50i or 60i mode, when the correct choice is 50p or 60p. And secondly after choosing the correct mode, increase the shutter speed (reduced exposure time) to at least 1/100s and even better for skateboarding is 1/250s.

In the skateboarding video above from May 16, the slow shutter causes the blurring of the skater. Of course a faster shutter in the dark is nearly impossible!
Take a look at this indoor basketball, in a poorly lit gym, where I strive for the sharpest image I can: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FRz8bxgrapg
This was shot with a 1/120s shutter.
