Action Cameras
These small, weather and shock proof, video cameras have revolutionized our students ability to shoot video/still images in places we only dreamed of just a few years ago! Our PTSA helped us purchase a GoPro camera a year ago and many of my students own their own action cameras. Read more on our cameras page.
Software
Adobe Premiere Pro has a number of preset or built-in functions that support editing/correcting GoPro footage. Read more about software options.

Handheld Gimbal System
DJI has built a handheld stabilization system that takes advantage of the gimbal technology from their quadcopters. http://www.dji.com/product/ronin
I am excited to try out one of these systems and will add more information as soon as I can.
