Cinema / video camera innovation over the last few years has largely centered around moving the camera. From jibs, to sliders, to drones and gimbals -- all with the aim to give us tools to get unique and interesting shots. Flashback 10 years ago, when I was working on campaigns with REI, Nikon, etc .... I'd call up my friend Tabb who was a drone geek tinkering in his basement working to combine his two passions...

One is the wartime photojournalist, who puts his or her life on line to document real stories and images behind the world's most dangerous conflicts.
