3D Flying Camera Rigs

3D Flying Camera Rigs use multiple winches to give you a three dimensional flight envelope. The camera can be placed anywhere inside this flight envelope with grace and speed.

2D Flying Camera Rigs

2D Flying Camera Rigs give you a flight envelope that is a vertical plane, allowing you to place the camera at any position or elevation between the two rigging points. These rigs are quick to setup and perfect for using shooting on long sets such as forests and city streets.

Track & 1D Flying Camera Rigs

Track rigs give you high-speed, ultra smooth dolly shots with MoCo repeatability and unmatched acceleration and deceleration. These tracks can be mounted in any orientation and the camera can be underhung or overhung from the track dolly.

1D Flying Camera Rigs allow you to suspend the camera from a single rigging location and control the dolly's altitude, like a bi-directional descender rig.

 

6 DoF Flying Rigs

The 6 Degrees of Freedom rig is truly magical. This rig allows you to fly an object and specify both it's position in 3 dimensions and it's rotational orientation around 3 axes.

This rig's motion is similar to a Stewart Platform or Motion Base, except we suspent the rig from wires rather than push it up from below with hydraulic cylinders. We were the first to use this on a feature film and we're quite proud of the results.

These demo reels are intended to show the capabilities of the NavCam system and give you a glimpse at what is possible. They includes the work of dozens of engineers, designers, fabricators, programmers, directors, coordinators, operators, and riggers who have all contributed to NavCam's success and made what you see here possible.
