Cable Cam Systems

Here is how this works in practice. We supply cable cam systems and skilled operators for shoots filming across the Czech Republic, rigging cabled camera sites that travel smoothly over ground that a dolly or crane cannot reach. Cable cam suits sports and event coverage, concert filming and feature sequences that need a camera to fly along a controlled path above action. Our teams handle the rigging engineering — anchor points, tensioning, load calculations and safety systems — and operate the camera and the winch as a set up unit.

Here is the short of it. The Czech crew base is deep and worldwide skilled, comfortable on large global shoots as well as broadcast and commercial work, and our riggers plan installations with care against each venue and location. At Barrandov Studios in Prague we work on built sets, while on location we adapt the system to terrain and structures.

Here is the breakdown. Cable cam installations in the Czech Republic frequently involve heritage and public venues, so rigging must be planned to protect structures and meet the access conditions set by the Prague Film Commission and regional authorities. Stadiums and arenas, the historic squares of Prague, and dramatic natural settings such as the Vltava river valley and the Krkonoše mountains all give cable cam chances, each with its own anchoring and safety needs. Productions drawn here by the Czech Film Fund's 20% cash rebates, administered by the Státní fond kinematografie, use cable cam to add production value efficiently. We set up the system with the camera, grip and lighting departments, supply full rigging risk assessments, and budget the work in Czech koruna with 21% VAT.
