Did You Notice the Large Format Wood Camera At the Impeachment Hearings?

Cameras were clicking noisily as photographers snapped successive images 
of diplomat William Taylor and State De-partment employee George Kent 
entering the House of Rep-resentatives for public testimony in the 
impeachment hear-ings on November 13th.  Amidst the hubbub, photographer 
David Burnett was capturing the event on his custom-made wood large format 
Aero Liberator.  Burnett is a “veteran, multi award-winning photographer, 
co-founder of Contact-PressImages and large format film enthusiast”

Here's a gallery of the camera:
