As a professional Electronic News Gathering Camera (ENG), the JVC GY-HM750 camcorder was designed for extreme receptivity and connectivity. Nevertheless, it weighs 8.3 lbs, and the ergonomic body makes it easier to carry on a shoulder than its studio-bound cousins. Incorporating JVC's ProHD capture technologies, this ENG camera accommodates the native .MP4, XDCAM EX, or .MOV file formats of professional editing systems such as Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premiere. Additionally, the JVC GY-HM750 camcorder has a robust 68-pin connector which allows various types of modules to be hooked up to its chassis without external cables. In the event of long distance broadcasts, for instance, this connector accommodates the MPEG2 signal for the ASI output with an optional KA-AS790 module. Utilizing a wide range of lenses, compatible with its patented 1/3 3CCD sensor, this JVC video camera can record in either HD or SD to SDHC solid state media. Moreover, this ENG camera has a high-resolution 1.22 million pixel LCOS viewfinder and a large 4.3-inch flip-out LCD monitor. Perhaps the most distinctive feature of this JVC video camera, however, is its ability to record simultaneously to both of its SD/SDHC memory slots which ensures instant back-up and gives it virtually unlimited recording time. The JVC GY-HM750 camcorder is an efficient multi-purpose capture device perfect for on-location breaking news, sporting events, or interviews.
In addition to stills recording, the 80D also supports Full HD 1080p video recording at up to 30 fps in the MOV format with ALL-I compression, or 60 fps in the MP4 format with IPB compression. Video recording is benefitted by the inclusion of Dual Pixel CMOS AF and the Movie Servo AF focusing functions, as well as the touchscreen design of the LCD monitor for intuitive control. Additionally, both headphone and microphone jacks are incorporated in the body design for advanced control over audio recording.
Unique to most video recording systems, the 80D also features an HDR Movie mode that can be used to achieve greater highlight and shadow detail when recording in high contrast scenarios. This mode captures two HD frames at different exposures, one normal and one underexposed, in short succession at up to 60 fps and then composites them during playback at 30 fps to create a movie with a longer-appearing dynamic range.

The Ronin-M 3-Axis Handheld Gimbal Stabilizer from DJI is a camera stabilization system designed to give the operator close to the freedom of unencumbered handheld shooting but without the hand-shake. Suitable for most camera types and configurations up to 8 pounds, the Ronin-M uses brushless motors that work on three axes: one for side-to-side "roll" (keeping the horizon level), one for tilt, and one for pan. The system is computer-controlled and features a tilt range of 105° up / 165° down plus a roll range of ±110°. Furthermore, the system boasts a precision of control of ±0.02°, enabling precise camera moves and stability correction against even very fine movements. In addition to handheld shooting, the gimbal can be used in vehicle mounting scenarios and other contexts where vibrations or other abrupt movements would make tripods and rigid camera support systems unsuitable.
