Shooting the autocross event today, there was a camera crew with crane and DSLR, shooting HD video.
The crane was a stunning piece of kit, on a dolly, which allowed them to fly the camera.
The camera was a Panasonic DSLR, and was mounted at the end of the crane with what looked to be a fairly wide angle lens fitted.
The whole rig was operated by one guy, with an assistant to steer him when they needed to relocate the rig.
The operator had a color monitor rigged up to view the camera output in real time - and allow accurate positioning of the camera around the subject cars.
Very cool kit - I WANT ONE!
