Corrections

In last month’s Aerial Cinematography article, the speed for a production airplane was given as that for a helicopter. In the Product Roundup feature, the Cineflex product should have been listed as an “HD gyro-stabilized camera system” instead of “camera mount system.” Both errors have been corrected.
