Tower Cam

Here's a camera support system you'll probably saw on the Oscars operated by my old friend Dave Eastwood.

The Standard Tower Cam can go from 5'-15' as fast as 3' per second while carrying 132 pounds (I guess that means I can't ride along).   You can also hang the Tower Cam upside down from the grid so the camera comes down.

There's also different sizes:  The Tower Cam XS is 3'-5, the FX is 6'-16' and the Tower Cam XL goes 10' to a whopping 32'.


Finally, there is the CruiseCam, a remote controlled motor assisted dolly.  You can mount a Tower Cam onto the CruiseCam for complete remote operation, like a Furio, but the Cruise Cam can also be controlled by a riding operator via a foot pedal.

He's rents these along with all his jibs and Steadicams.  Check out his website at http://www.fluidpicturesinc.com/
