Research Camera In B2
The RC has a major improvement in B2 in that after you pull the trigger to start it filming, you immediately switch back to the weapon you had before bringing up the RC, making it easier to film a foe and then start fighting them without getting hit.

For example, to research a turret gun, you can bring up the Hacker with a remote auto-hack loaded, then bring up the camera, then come around the corner facing the turret, pull right trigger to start the camera, then pull right trigger again to fire the auto-hack. At worst, you may take a tiny bit of damage.

Unfortunately, the RC rewards do not seem to be as significant in B2. For example, being able to auto-hack turrets was a great reward in B1, but in B2, you can do that with the hacking gun. Natural Camouflage was an enormously advantageous tonic to have in B1, but just doesn't seem to be that significant in B2. For one thing, by the time you get it, you should already have level 3 of Hypnotize and you don't need the invisibility because you have the big guys fighting for you.

A major drawback to the way the RC works is that if you come across some foes you have already maxed out filming, then when you pull the camera trigger, it not only won't film, but it won't switch to your weapon and you stand there getting shot up while you figure out what happened and change weapons.
