Remote Heads & Tracking Systems
Remote Heads or Hot Heads are remotely controlled pan and tilt heads. They can be rigged in places where a camera operator wouldn't usually be able to operate from due to space restrictions or safety. With a variety of mounting and tracking systems hot heads are more versatile than ever. From mini heads to full size gyro stabilised heads, rail systems and wire systems, hot heads have never been more dynamic.
New technology is constantly improving the design and performance of remote cameras. Stronger, smoother, faster and more lightweight heads are now readily available. Not forgetting the relatively new wire camera systems and aero dolly's. I am proud to have been nominated for an Emmy award in 2024 in the catergory for outstanding technical direction and camerawork operating an Agito remote dolly. I hold IPAF certification and am qualified to operate MEWPS allowing easy and fast access when rigging these systems and for maintenance. I have good relationships with suppliers of a large range of remote systems. Please contact me for advice on what kit might work best for your project and recommended suppliers.
A 4-point wire cam system is a specialized camera rig used to capture dynamic aerial shots with incredible precision and flexibility. This system consists of a camera suspended on cables, controlled by four winches anchored at different points (typically at the corners of a venue or space). These cables allow the camera to move in three-dimensional space, providing full horizopntal, vertical and diagonal movement over large areas, such as sports arenas, concert stages or outdoor locations.
