SCENE 01 / CABLE CAM SYSTEMS
Cable Cam Systems
Dynamic aerial coverage for your French production.
Cable cam systems hang cameras on motorized carriages that ride along tensioned wire spans. They give you smooth, repeatable tracking shots from overhead or off to the side. The setup suits large areas like stadiums, concert venues, and outdoor sites where normal camera support will not reach.
We source cable cam systems and skilled operators matched to your location and shot list. Our team handles the rigging, the safety certification, and the tech rehearsals, so your cable cam delivers smooth, steady camera moves across every shoot day.

Our Process
Site Survey
We review your venue or location for cable cam install and coverage needs.
System Design
We design the cable cam system around your shots, the travel distance, and venue limits.
Installation
Our crews rig the system with full safety protocols and backup redundancy.
Operation
Our operators run the rig live through your event, adjusting in real time as needed.
On Location
Cable cam coverage for French venues and events
Cable cams shine where dollies, jibs, and even drones run out of road. We have stretched a 200-metre span over the pitch at the Stade de France, built a multi-axis Spidercam volume above a Bercy Arena concert, and run a point-to-point wire across a Bordeaux festival main stage. Our rigging crews install tensioned systems with backup safety cables, fail-safe braking, and ANFR-compliant wireless transmission. We run everything from compact one-cable rigs at a Côte d'Azur wedding venue right up to large 3D systems above a Lyon stadium concert.
Each rig comes with a dedicated fitting crew, certified operators, and permit support for venue and prefecture approvals. Insurance is scaled for live broadcast over an audience. We mount cinema cameras for narrative work at Loire Valley exteriors, broadcast cameras for live sport at Roland-Garros, and gyro-stabilized heads for music television on French festival circuits. Rehearsal time, backup motors, and live-feed downlinks for the director's monitor all come as standard. Your show stays in motion even when the venue's main power goes off-script.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between cable cam types?
Point-to-point cable cams run along one cable between two anchor points, which gives you linear movement. Multi-dimensional systems like Spidercam use many cables, so the camera can move in 3D across the X, Y, and Z axes.
How much space can a cable cam cover?
Spans differ by system. Point-to-point setups can cover hundreds of meters, while 3D systems mostly cover areas up to 100m x 100m or more. We design each rig to match your venue and coverage needs.
Are cable cams safe for live events?
Yes. Pro cable cam systems carry many layers of backup, including spare cables, emergency braking, and fail-safe controls. Our team follows strict safety protocols and carries full insurance.
Can you operate over crowds?
With the right safety systems, permits, and insurance, cable cams can fly over audience areas. This calls for special gear, safety protocols, and often planning with venue management and local authorities.
What cameras work with cable cams?
Cable cams can carry a wide range of cameras, from compact bodies to large cinema cameras on stabilized heads. We size the system around camera weight and any live transmission needs.
How long does installation take?
Install time depends on the system and the venue. A simple point-to-point setup may go up in a day, while a full multi-dimensional rig in a large venue can take several days.
