Robotic Cameras Give Photographers a New Perspective – and Job?

Until the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, the remote control camera was a static solution, meaning that once put in place, that was that – no ability to move the camera or control anything other than the shutter. All that changed this past summer when Sports Illustrated worked with some fellow innovators to install a 2.5ft long rig connected to a unit housing a Nikon D4 that’s able to pan, tilt, and roll via a joystick-like console.
