Floatcam DollyCrane demo video

Floatcam Open Day at Pinewood Studios!

Correction!- Tuesday 12th July. 4pm – 8pm. BSC Lodge @ Pinewood Studios.

Floatcam UK are holding the first DollyCrane open day on at Pinewood Studios on July 12th 2011 from 4-8pm in the BSC lodge.
Come along and see the award winning DollyCrane in action, along with the Floatcam FC14 HD-SDI camera stabilizer (steadicam). We will be on hand to demo the FC14 and the DollyCrane with a range of cameras, and in all of its modes (slider/jib arm/tower), and answer any questions you might have about this innovative piece of kit.

The DollyCrane is a unique piece of grip equipment allowing a camera to be tracked up to 1.6m at almost any angle, including vertically. The innovative counterweighted system ensures that the camera moves silently and effortlessly through its range, enabling operators to achieve shots simply not possible with other sliders. And priced from just £3195 + vat & delivery, it really is amazing value.

Places are limited, so please contact us on trevor@floatcam.co.uk or call 01753 785188 to book yours.

For more information on the DollyCrane, and for details of all the Floatcam camera stabilisers, please see our website www.floatcam.co.uk

Want to be amongst the first in the UK to get your hands on the DollyCrane?

Well, you can, but you will have to be quick. Our demo DollyCrane is currently taking pride of place in our Pinewood Offices (that actually means it’s taking up most of the space in the middle of one room…) whilst we test some gear with it, and get it ready for demos, reviews and the first UK shoot next week.

We’ve lined up demos with the new RED Epic, details of which will be posted here, and several reviews with the leading UK equipment magazines. Links and details will be posted here too.

We will also be hosting some regional Floatcam demo days for those of you who aren’t near London. Details and dates TBC but will most likely be Pinewood Studios, Manchester and Glasgow. In addition to the DollyCrane we will have several of the Floatcam stabilisers on show too. Check back here or subscribe to our blog (at the bottom of the page) for more details.
