To Gifford Hooper and Philip George of HoverCam for the continuing development of the Helicam miniature helicopter camera system.

The current Helicam system is a high-speed, extremely maneuverable, turbine-engine, radio-controlled miniature helicopter that supports professional film and digital cinema cameras.
