Filmotechnic - Camera Support Equipment

Advantages

With the front &/or back camera decks one can shoot faster chase/stunt sequences, corner more aggressively and achieve simultaneous multiple angles.

Up to 3 remote heads or 4 locked off cameras can mount to the front or back decks

The Roof Platform has 6 Mitchell mounts.

A total of 24 camera positions are available with F/R Decks and RM.

 

Deck Construction & Materials

2 different size decks (2’ & 2’- 6”) attach to the front &/or back of the ML55 Chase car.

Each deck has 3 sections (right/centre/left) all interchangeable between the 2’ & 2’-6” decks.

Light weight, but incredibly strong 6160 Aluminium extrusions, welded in a frame work, make up the decks.

CAD designed, water-jet cut Mitchell mounts bolt through the deck (9 different positions/ deck).

All 3/8” bolt holes have 3/4” Ø inserts welded in place.

Decks are power coated, all pipe painted flat black, all fittings & Mitchell mounts hard anodized black.

Right/Centre/Left sections are joined with a 1/2” id grid pipe that runs through the centre of the decks.

 

Deck Configurations

Mono Level

Straight couplings welded to the decks lock the pipe in place. The decks are additionally bolted together.

The centre pipe then serves for the 45° bracing to a cross bar which is then braced to the roof platform.

Minimum deck height is 6 inches.

Maximum front deck height in is 4’.

Maximum back deck height is 5’-6”.

Multi Level

Any of the three sections can be set at different camera heights.

The same 45° bracing is used to a common cross bar braced to the roof platform.

Solo Deck

Any single deck can be mounted solo front or back.
