Spidercam broadcast-quality robotic camera solutions are suspended from a cable-driven system to provide exceptional and immersive video. These cutting-edge camera systems are used to create unique shots for sports events, concerts, esports, and TV shows around the globe.
Spidercam provides the tools to bring your event to life. The cable-based systems create stunning views that will enthrall your audience and provide greater accessibility to your event.
Spidercam’s full-field systems allow coverage of outdoor sporting and live events, while its smaller indoor solutions are ideal for conferences, worship productions and other events such as music awards and esports tournaments.

Spidercam’s fibre optic connections ensure no loss of return video. The signals for the camera, RCP, lens, microphone, speaker, tally, and genlock communications are all transmitted over the fibre link to provide consistent, interference-free transmission.
The system’s user interface provides operators with full creativity using the joysticks as well as the ability to record and play back moves from the dolly and/or camera to ensure consistent movements.
