Filmotechnic USA, provider of high performance camera car systems to the entertainment industry, has added the new Flight Head 6S to its award-winning fleet of stabilized remote heads, arms and camera car systems. Advanced features of the 6S are incorporated into the history-proven stabilized platform of Filmotechnic’s original Flight Heads.

Engineered for silky smooth shots with precise camera control, the 6S, continued Urso, virtually eliminates vibration and unwanted shakes during rough, fast camera moves. He added, “The latest GPS auto horizon assures rock solid horizon in high-G turns. The 6S also offered unmatched flexibility and reliability, it’s good-to-go on a variety of regular and telescoping camera cranes, dollies, camera cars, quad bikes, helicopters, cable cam rigs and other Mitchell mount platforms. Guiding it all are ergonomically engineered joysticks and handwheels for responsive, exact camera positioning.”
The 6S features an intuitive touch-screen display, quick release camera plate and lens drives interfaces for Canon and Fujinon lenses. The 6S Flight Head accepts the majority of motion picture and broadcast cameras. It can be set up in underslung/overslung configuration, in both wired or wireless modes.
