The Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K was rigged in a3D motion robotic cable systemover the Olympic sized, ten lane facility, in order to capture a ‘pool top’ view of the action, which is a broadcast prerequisite of the European Swimming Association. The system has a360 degree gimbalheld in place by lightweight winches and cabling, together with stabilization, to make a much wider range of camera angles achievable than rail rig systems. |
