So, what's a Polecam?
Polecam is a unique, single operator camera crane that, simply put, allows you to put a crane where you can't put a crane. Designed specifically to be lightweight and easily transportable, it rigs in under 15 minutes and de-rigs in less than 10 allowing multiple re-positioning resulting in greater production values, in 2D and 3D! The remote pan and tilt head is operated with a joystick and allows full 360 degree control. The length of the carbon fibre pole is configurable by the number of sections slotted together from 1.5 to 6 and this length can be reconfigured quickly during a shoot, without tools. |

The Canon C300 ...as standard! The Canon is a massive leap in quality for the Polecam and provides cinema quality images at no extra cost. Using a Super 35mm sensor and the stunning Canon EOS lenses, Polecam really has come of age. Chris says, 'This upgrade allows me to offer unquestionable image quality to clients. As the Canon is a genuine main uint camera in its own right, it can be removed from the rig and used as a full second unit. Fabulous value for money!' |
