This sequence shows how the tracking dolly can be used. The top line shows the view from the video camera on the track.
The glidecam is a camera stabilizer capable of creating super smooth shots. It will allow the operator to walk, run, go up and down stairs, shoot from moving vehicles, and travel over uneven terrain without any camera instability or shake.
The Fig rig becomes part of the body to produce smooth, steady travelling shots. As the operator walks, his/her muscles and tendons absorb all the shocks, transferring only fluid movements to the camera. The Fig rig also allows lanterns and microphones to be attached and has a remote for easier access to camera controls.
