There are multiple aspects to consider when deciding upon the best method of filming
a surgical procedure. A jib with a precision, remote controlled pan and tilt head
is ideal; however, these systems are not only expensive, but also require the presence
of a video operator and the inherent difficulty in maneuverability during surgery.
Ease of use, simplicity, and usability of footage are therefore the main factors evaluated
in previous papers.

We evaluated common complications of current and previously tested systems to develop
a method of high quality surgical videography using a modified GoPro HERO5 video camera
from Back-Bone Gear Inc.

The high resolution of the camera, coupled with the ease in maneuverability meant
that this system costing less than £1200.00 at the time of publishing provides a cost
effective, high fidelity imaging service for surgical procedures.To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
