SCENE 01 / WIRE CAM SYSTEMS
Wire Cam Systems
Cable-suspended cameras for dynamic overhead coverage.
Here is how this works in practice. Wire cam systems suspend cameras on motorized cable rigs to achieve sweeping overhead shots, dramatic reveals, and dynamic tracking movements across large spaces. These systems give stable, repeatable camera paths that cover distances and elevations beyond the reach of cranes or dolly systems.
Here is the short of it. We source wire cam systems and skilled rigging crews for your production's specific venue and shot needs. Our team sets up installation, safety certification, and operational rehearsals to make sure your wire cam delivers reliable, smooth camera movement across filming.

On Location
Spidercam Light + Falcon 4-point wire-cam, Newton-stabilised head wire-cam, and CableCam Wire Camera systems for Maracanã, Allianz Parque, Sambódromo Carnaval, Rock in Rio, and F1 Interlagos
Here is how this works in practice. Brazilian wire-cam operations are dominated by stadium broadcast and music-festival main-stage work. Spidercam Light (3-point) and Spidercam Falcon (4-point) full-length cable runs deploy at Maracanã Stadium (1950 + 2014 World Cup + 2016 Olympics opening venue), Allianz Parque São Paulo (Palmeiras home + UFC + boxing nights), Jeunesse Arena Rio (boxing + entertainment), Mineirão Belo Horizonte (Atlético + Cruzeiro home), and the Sambódromo Marquês de Sapucaí (Niemeyer 1984) Carnaval February parade-lane — the densest wire-cam live setup Brazil produces.
Here is how the picture comes together. On the ground, Festival main-stage wire-cam runs at Rock in Rio (since 1985, 700K+ attendance, biennial), Lollapalooza Brasil at Autódromo Interlagos (since 2012), C6 Fest São Paulo, and Tomorrowland Brasil Itu (since 2015). F1 Interlagos São Paulo Grand Prix runs FIA-spec wire systems along start-finish straight + Senna 'S' curve carrying Ayrton Senna 1988 / 1990 / 1991 World Championship heritage.
Here is the short of it. Remote heads are Newton S2 (the standard since 2018 for stadium wire-cam) and ARRI SRH-360. With RED Komodo-X, Sony FX9 / FX6, ARRI Alexa Mini LF airframes. Large-stadium work brings Movicam MK-V AR3 + Cinemovers Stabilized Head. CableCam Wire Camera kits cover smaller-budget festival main-stage runs. Cross-border LA top-up via Sigma Cine LA + Action Filmworks on direct GRU / GIG flights inside 12 hours when broadcast loadouts need redundancy.
Here is what we have to work with. On the ground, Rigging crews are anchored in São Paulo through Cinerent Brasil + Conspiração Filmes and in Rio through Globo Estúdios PROJAC tech operations with tested safety records inside CBF + FIA + UFC spec. Tropical humidity (80–95% Rio / Salvador year-round) demands IP-rated head covers, desiccant inside the housing, and saltwater-rinse protocols after any coastal-stadium shoot. ANCINE / CLT / FGTS 8% / 13º salário budgeted. RioFilme + Spcine city permits. ANATEL clears wireless head-control link. Lei do Audiovisual + Lei Rouanet funding.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a wire cam/Spidercam?
Here is the breakdown. Wire cams (like Spidercam) are camera systems suspended on cables between many points. By controlling the cable lengths from each anchor point, the camera can move freely in 3D space—horizontally, vertically, and everywhere between.
What venues suit wire cam systems?
Wire cams work in any venue with suitable anchor points—stadiums, arenas, concert halls, large studios, and outdoor events. They're specific valuable where traditional crane or drone coverage isn't practical or permitted.
How fast can wire cams move?
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Modern wire cam systems can achieve impressive speeds—Spidercam systems can travel at over 30 km/h while keeping stable footage. This makes them ideal for following fast action in sports and dynamic event coverage.
What about safety?
Safety is paramount. Wire cam systems have many redundant cables, automatic tension tracking, and fail-safe mechanisms. Our crews are certified riggers who follow strict safety protocols for overhead systems.
Can wire cams work outdoors?
Yes, with appropriate weather planning. Wire cams work for outdoor events, festivals, and even open-air film shoots. Wind limits apply, and we monitor conditions across operation.
What camera packages are available?
Wire cams can carry many camera packages from broadcast cameras to cinema cameras based on the system capacity. All are mounted on stabilized gimbals with remote control of pan, tilt, zoom, and focus.
