Film Riggers has used the latest technology to build the TopShot.Africa 3D flying system.

This system comprises of four motorized winches, typically positioned at the four corners of a venue. An ultra-high-strength rope runs from each winch up to an anchored pulley in the roof structure where it is deviated downwards to the centre of the venue.  Here all four ropes meet and connect to the camera platform.
In a coordinated and synchronised manner, the winches reel rope on and off the winch drum to achieve movement of the camera platform in 3 planes;
left & right, up & down and forward & backwards.
The fibre optic strands that are woven into the locally made rope relay picture, lens, camera and gimbal control data from the camera platform to the control station. A high performance, compact and versatile gyro-stabilised gimbal connects the camera to the camera platform.
This combination provides shake free, premium quality footage for highly dynamic broadcast, film and TV production.
