Flying Wire Rigs For 35mm

Published : 19th April 2006

Does anybody have any advice or suggestions for a wire based flying camera system?

The shots that need to be achieved are with the camera suspended above a person running through a forest. Looking for a London/UK based solution preferably. I've seen pictures of Camera Revolutions Libra rig that runs on wires - but probably too expensive for this production...though I suspect ANY solution may be too expensive for this production....

I can suggest The Camcat system by Brains & Pictures. You can find the technical details at www.brainsandpictures.com

Bonjour

Speak with the nice people at www.cablecam.com

Very competent. Although probably not cheap.

Luca Dell'Oro (Italian Steadicam Op) and his father have build the SHUTTLE CAM, very simple wire rig. They are a friendly and affordable company, and VERY good at what they do.

Go to the website www.cine-video.net and have a look.

Say hi to Luca from me if you speak to him (+393486972386).
Usual disclaimers, just very happy with his work.

Sponsorship of CML

CML is maintained mainly by sponsorship, this sponsorship enables us to continue to grow and provide a continually expanding information service to all those involved in cinematography.

JPB of Aaton came up with the original suggestion of basing sponsorship on $1 per member per year. We have now outgrown this as we are too big now to justify this level of support and it's been fixed at $2,400 per year for the last 5 years.

For this a sponsor gets a logo on the web-site header which appears on all 3,000+ pages and a tag on every message posted via CML.

We sent out 33.4 million email messages in the last 12 months. They also get access to private mailing lists that we can set up for their specific requirements.

Our current sponsors are listed below please mail me if you want more info.
