It was pointed out in the Sky coverage from the visor cam Alonso used in the Feww Practices, that there was so much (too much) information that could be of use to other teams on the F1 steering wheel display.

and this 360° cam footage from the MAVTV 500 in 2015

The pod makes it aero neutral regardless of where in the rotation the camera is pointing.
The question would be as to whether a fixed (either forward or backwards facing) camera in a T Bar or the podded rotatable Camera is best option for your TV coverage.
