SCENE 01 / VEHICLE MOUNTING
Vehicle Mounting
Professional car and motorcycle camera rigs throughout Brazil.
Here is how this works in practice. Car mounting systems attach cameras securely to cars, trucks, motorcycles, and other cars to capture dynamic point-of-view and exterior motion footage. Pro mounting solutions have suction cups, clamps, roof rigs, and custom brackets engineered for safety at speed and vibration isolation.
Here is the short of it. We give car camera mounting systems and skilled rigging technicians who make sure safe, secure installations. Our team sets up the right mounting hardware for your car type and camera package, managing safety inspections and test runs so your vehicular footage is captured without risk.

On Location
Tyler Mini Major + Filmotechnic Russian Arm + GSS / Shotover gyro-head vehicle-mount packages for São Paulo Marginal, Rio Avenida Atlântica, Sertão highway, and Trans-Amazonian Highway work
Here is how this works in practice. Brazilian car-mounting work pulls from a deep motorsport heritage (Ayrton Senna 1988 + 1990 + 1991 F1 World Championships at Interlagos, Felipe Massa 2008, Nelson Piquet 1981 + 1983 + 1987) and from a long history of action / chase-sequence global shoots shot in country. The list covers Fast Five 2011 Rio favela chase, The Incredible Hulk 2008 Rio favelas, Quantum of Solace partial Rio, Twilight Breaking Dawn Rio honeymoon. Plus the Brazilian-feature lineage of Tropa de Elite (Padilha 2007 Berlin Golden Bear) and City of God (Meirelles 2002. 4 Oscar noms).
Here is how the picture comes together. On the ground, Car-mount inventory runs full Current Studio + Matthews suction-cup hood-mounts, side-window clamp mounts, hostess-tray crossbar setups, and stationary B-camera sites mounts. Process-trailer setups run Lowrider + GripTrix + Tyler Mini Major Camera Car sites. Gyro-stabilised car heads are Shotover B1 + F1, GSS C520 + C516 + C5, and Filmotechnic Russian Arm (cross-border via Sigma Cine LA and Filmotechnic on direct GRU / GIG flights inside 12–24 hours).
Here is the short of it. Camera bodies for car work run ARRI Alexa Mini LF, Sony Venice 2 Rialto, RED Komodo-X, and Phantom Flex 4K (cross-border via Vision Research LA for high-speed) with full Master Prime / DNA LF / Signature Prime / Zeiss Supreme Prime lens packages. The signature Brazilian car-shoot calendar runs São Paulo Marginal Pinheiros + Marginal Tietê + Avenida Paulista canyon + MASP corridor, Rio Avenida Atlântica + Avenida Vieira Souto Copacabana / Ipanema strip + Túnel Rebouças, Sertão northeast highway long-haul, Trans-Amazonian Highway exterior road, Pantanal Transpantaneira dirt-road wildlife-car work, and the F1 Interlagos São Paulo Grand Prix paddock + start-grid coverage. DETRAN-state road permits, RioFilme / Spcine city-permits, ANATEL wireless follow-focus + comms clearance, and ATA carnet via Receita Federal / Aduana for cross-border Russian Arm + Shotover gear. ANCINE / CLT / FGTS 8% / 13º salário budgeted across freelance. Lei do Audiovisual + Lei Rouanet + state rebates factor funding.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicle mounting options do you offer?
We give full car mounting including suction cup rigs, magnetic mounts, Russian arms on tracking cars, hood/side/rear mounts, and interior camera rigs. Each setup is chosen based on shot needs and car type.
Can you film at high speeds?
Here is the breakdown. Yes, with appropriate safety measures, we can film at high speeds. This needs precision drivers, road closures or private locations, and specialized mounting that's rated for the speeds involved. Brazilian motorsport venues including São Paulo's Interlagos circuit are ready for high-speed work.
Do you provide tracking vehicles?
Yes, we give tracking cars equipped with Russian arms or stabilized heads for smooth footage while following action cars. These allow dynamic camera movement while keeping stable footage.
What about road closure permits?
We handle all permit needs for car filming including road closures where needed. Authorities in Brazil need specific records and advance notice—we set up everything including police presence when needed.
Can you film motorcycles?
Yes, we film motorcycles using follow cars, bike-mounted cameras, and rider-worn systems. This has commercial work, race footage, and narrative chase sequences with appropriate safety protocols.
What roads are available in Brazil?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Brazil gives top driving locations—coastal roads along Rio's breathtaking coastline, scenic mountain routes to Petrópolis, São Paulo's urban highways, and the Amazon basin. We know the most cinematic roads and how to access them for filming.
