Tracking
Vehicles
Ford F 350
Tracking with the Ford F 350, mostly could be fitted with the 5 or 7 meter
Giraffe crane. Sometimes lighter jib arms like the Fisher 22 or Fisher 23,
jimmy-jib and predator arm are used to great effect. This is a very strong
vehicle with lots of extra power. ................
Dodge Ram
Our Dodge Ram is excellent for tracking work when a hard-mount on the
front or rear platforms, or a jib is used. The interior of the Ram is
fitted with a working platform, risers, a leveler and seating space for
three people.
All the V-T, controls, wheels for the twin access remote head and focus
pulling controls are contained inside the cab, giving the Director, focus
puller and remote head operator an opportunity for ongoing dialog and
quick adjustments. The extended loading platform is will accommodate all
the shooting crew, including the first A-D, Grips, Sound, V-T operator,
Gaffer, Stunt and even F-X sometimes need to travel with the shot. The
Key grip of course has the final say in terms of what is safest.
.................
CMG
The flagship of our range is of course the CMG. This one was purpose build
for the Techno 30 crane. With the long reach this crane can achieve and
ability to jib over the front of the vehicle makes it the right equipment
for many a multi facetted shooting day. Smaller jib arms can of course
also be used from this multi feature mobile filming platform.
....................
6 Wheel Citroen
Some of our older vehicles include the six and four wheel Citroens that
are still by far the smoothest ride in the world. The six wheeled Citroen
was made for the 5 meter giraffe, but jib arms like the Fisher 22 or Fisher
23, jimmy-jib and predator arm work perfectly with the ability to jib
low over the front of the vehicle and follow the hero vehicle with jibbing
and panning done without restrictions. The Techno 15 is the BEST of all
jib arms when used on this vehicle.
......................
Polaris 6X6
When one needs to do off road tracking, the Polaris 6X6 wheeler is possibly
the best. This vehicle can carry up to 8 people, it has the mounting point
s for the Fisher 22 or Fisher 23, jimmy-jib and predator arm. It can work
as mobile camera legs for quick set-up without having to dismantle and
reassemble the jib arm when one wants mobility. The Polaris can track
on sand dunes, athletic tracks and off the road in general.

Range Rover
We have TWO 4X4 Ranges Rover that work mainly as a tow mussel for the
process trailer. These vehicles have a number of working platforms necessary
for the generators and other equipment that needs to get rigged. With
low range gearing, a very abrupt turning circle and v8 power, the vehicle
is an ideal tow horse. Process trailer work of course provides the biggest
of mobile working platforms, mostly used for close up or dialog shots
inside a vehicle, but paraglide, boats, aero planes, stunt rigs, sets
or any other moving requirements are accommodated.
PROCESS trailers.
We have the finest process trailers available, designed for camera tracking,
from the floor to suit all the demands of moving dialog shots.
With the tightest of U turns possible, makes getting "back to first
position' a quick and affective feature.
Generators', lights, scrims, flags, sound, VT, director, cameras and all
the people necessary are comfortably accommodated.
