The Bikair Cable Cam System is used in conjunction with a wireless remote head (most commonly 'the Libra' from Camera Revolution) and allows for suspended overhead Camera Tracking shots. The system was specifically designed and built for filming chase sequences with vehicles and hovercraft on the 007 Movie "Die Another Day". The most useful application for this system is its use for achieving Tracking shots over rough terrain and open water stretches, where a wheeled Tracking Vehicle cannot travel - therefore giving smooth Tracking at speed.
For ease of rigging, the system is set up between two conventional lifting cranes, this allows scope for adjustment and the ability to tension the support cables or the system can also be suspended between other objects such as scaffold constructions or other vehicles with suitable rigging.
