SCENE 01 / SPECIALTY RIGS
Specialty Camera Rigs
Advanced rigging solutions for your French production.
Specialty rigs are car platforms built to mount cameras and shoot fast driving, chase, and motion scenes. From Russian arms and camera cars to process trailers and insert cars, these rigs catch moving shots that standard gear simply cannot.
We source specialty camera rigs and cars from skilled local operators who know the safety and tech needs of car-mounted filming. Our team handles rig availability, tech specs, and logistics so your unit can shoot fast vehicle scenes safely and well.

On Location
Specialty camera rigs and vehicle mounts across France
Specialty rig work in France often means chasing performance through landscapes that need very specific locations. A Russian arm tracks a hero car along the Côte d'Azur corniche, a pursuit arm picks up a chase through Lyon's Vieux quartier, and a process trailer stages on a quiet stretch of the A6 highway outside Paris. We set up Russian arms, pursuit arms, full chase-car setups, cable cam and wire cam systems, and motion control rigs through TSF, RVZ, and skilled regional operators. Each rig is tied to the exact camera and remote head your DP has chosen.
Every job is shaped around the safety envelope first. We work out French rules on filming from moving cars, road closure permits for stunts in Marseille or Bordeaux, and risk checks for cable-cam spans across Provence venues before any rig reaches the location. Our grip and rigging team designs custom mounts for POV cameras, crash housings, and motion-control programmable heads when standard kit will not get the shot. You receive a permitted, fully insured, safety-planned specialty rig with skilled French operators and on-call support across the shoot.
