SCENE 01 / WIRE CAM SYSTEMS

Wire Cam Systems

Cable-suspended cameras for dynamic overhead coverage.

Scroll

Here is how this works in practice. Wire cam systems suspend cameras on motorized cable rigs to achieve sweeping overhead shots, dramatic reveals, and dynamic tracking movements across large spaces. These systems give stable, repeatable camera paths that cover distances and elevations beyond the reach of cranes or dolly systems.

Here is the short of it. We source wire cam systems and skilled rigging crews for your production's specific venue and shot needs. Our team sets up installation, safety certification, and operational rehearsals to make sure your wire cam delivers reliable, smooth camera movement across filming.

On Location

Skycam and Newton stabilised heads for Colombian stadiums, festivals and open-air galas

Here is the layout. Wire cam systems in Colombia centre on Skycam-derived three-dimensional rigs and Newton stabilised remote heads imported via DIAN ATA carnet from the Mexico City and São Paulo specialty pools, supplemented by the local Cabledrone Colombia point-to-point inventory operated through Imagen Latina in Bogotá and Reel Films in Medellín.

Here is how the picture comes together. Applications cluster across Colombia's major event calendar: the Carnaval de Barranquilla overhead float coverage each February (the second-largest carnival in the world after Rio), the Movistar Arena Bogotá global concert and festival schedule, the Atanasio Girardot Stadium and Estadio El Campín football coverage, the Estadio Metropolitano Roberto Meléndez stadium events in Barranquilla, FICCI Cartagena Global Film Festival open-air galas at the Plaza de Toros and Centro de Convenciones, the Festival Estéreo Picnic in Bogotá each March, the Rock al Parque festival in Simón Bolívar Park, and the Feria de Cali music and parade week each December.

Here is what we have to work with. Wire-rig safety in Colombia routes through ARL workplace-insurance coverage on each certified rigger, with the Aerocivil clearance needed for any overhead crowd operation above audience density thresholds and the ANE range-planning forms needed for wireless camera control on multi-cam wire-cam setups. Rig design accounts for Andean-altitude Bogotá load calculations (2,548 metres alters wind loading and motor performance), Caribbean humidity at Cartagena and Barranquilla venues that demands accelerated cable inspection cycles, and the structural anchor-point constraints inside heritage venues across the Cartagena UNESCO Walled City.

Here is the layout. Skycam-derived three-dimensional rigs can sweep at over thirty kilometres an hour while holding stable footage on stabilised Newton heads carrying ARRI Alexa Mini LF, Sony Venice 2 and broadcast packages including the Sony HDC-P50 and Grass Valley LDX 86. Tax-incentive stacking through the forty per cent Film Law incentive plus the CINA cash-rebates scheme applies to qualifying wire-cam unit spend on feature work, with DIAN ATA carnet logistics for imported Skycam and Newton rigs handled from start to finish through our specialty-rig partners.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a wire cam/Spidercam?

Here is the breakdown. Wire cams (like Spidercam) are camera systems suspended on cables between many points. By controlling the cable lengths from each anchor point, the camera can move freely in 3D space—horizontally, vertically, and everywhere between.

What venues suit wire cam systems?

Wire cams work in any venue with suitable anchor points—stadiums, arenas, concert halls, large studios, and outdoor events. They're specific valuable where traditional crane or drone coverage isn't practical or permitted.

How fast can wire cams move?

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Modern wire cam systems can achieve impressive speeds—Spidercam systems can travel at over 30 km/h while keeping stable footage. This makes them ideal for following fast action in sports and dynamic event coverage.

What about safety?

Safety is paramount. Wire cam systems have many redundant cables, automatic tension tracking, and fail-safe mechanisms. Our crews are certified riggers who follow strict safety protocols for overhead systems.

Can wire cams work outdoors?

Yes, with appropriate weather planning. Wire cams work for outdoor events, festivals, and even open-air film shoots. Wind limits apply, and we monitor conditions across operation.

What camera packages are available?

Wire cams can carry many camera packages from broadcast cameras to cinema cameras based on the system capacity. All are mounted on stabilized gimbals with remote control of pan, tilt, zoom, and focus.

Productions in Colombia that need this often pair it with Cable Cam Systems, Aerial Drone Services, and Helicopter Filming for full coverage. Most projects also draw on Portable Power Solutions and Camera & Cinematography.
