Pro Video Coalition has got an article on “Battle for Hearts and Minds”, a documentary shot by independent photojournalist Danfung Dennis. He spent some time embedded with a company of Marines in Afghanistan, as they tried to take and hold the Helmund Provice, a place that has has been, as of late, a stronghold of the Taliban.
Dennis was able to follow the action — all with a custom rig built around the Canon 5d Mark 2. Check the article out to see how it’s built.
The footage was also used in a recent episode of PBS’s excellent series, FRONTLINE. The episode was entitled “Obama’s War.” You can view the entire episode for free on the PBS.org website.

He was able to capture some pretty amazing stuff — the more I see projects like this, the more I’m leaning toward buying my own DSLR.
*Caution: Language and Violence in the video!
