Paragraph 1:  Introducing professional video camera

There are two types of professional video cameras the first are high- end portable recording cameras, known as camcorders. These are used for ENG (electronic news gathering). They are similar to consumer recorders, but they are bigger and usually have a shoulder-stabilising device on the shoulder.

These are fixed on studio pedestals, i.e. they stand on the floor with a hydraulic mechanism to adjust the height and wheels. When used outside the studio, they are often on tracks. Some studio cameras are light and small enough to be taken off the pedestal and used on the shoulder, but they still have no recorder of their own and are cable-bound.
