MAKE IT ROUGH - MAKE IT STEADY

The Shotover F1 is the ultimate performer when filming from vehicles, boats or other watercraft in extreme conditions. It's exceptionally high level of stabilization makes it the ultimate choice for capturing smooth, precise footage in the most challenging environments. Whether we're racing alongside a speeding car or navigating rough waters, the F1's advanced gyro-stabilization ensures rock-steady, crisp visuals, even in intense action.

VEHICLES

The SHOTOVER F1 is an exceptional tool for filming from vehicles travelling over extremely rough terrain. Even when moving fast over uneven ground, the F1 ’s advanced gyro - stabilization system compensates for the intense vibrations, bumps, and unpredictable motion that come with off - road conditions. This makes it ideal for action - packed sequences that require tracking fast - moving subjects across difficult landscapes. Its ability to absorb and counteract sudden jerks and jolts ensures that the footage remains smooth, providing a professional, cinematic feel regardless of the environment.

One of the F1's standout features is how well it performs with longer telephoto lenses. Especially when longer lenses come in to play, the smallest shake can ruin a shot. But the F1's stabilization system is designed to hold a rock steady image, even when punched right in. The Shotover F1 ensures that every frame is stable, crisp and well composed, no matter how extreme the environment.

BOATS

The Shotover F1 is a game - changer when it comes to filming on boats – especially in more extreme seas, where constant motion and unpredictable conditions make stability crucial. The Shotover ’s powerful and highly sensitive motors excel at keeping footage smooth, even in the wildest conditions. The system absorbs the random rocking and pitching movements of the vessel as it moves through heavy waves.

The other key advantage of a specialised head like the Shotover F1 is its ability to continue operating in extremely wet environments. The system is built to withstand extreme rain events and the worst maritime condition . It tolerates high humidity, salt spray, and direct contact with water.

To further enhance its performance in wet environments, we use a rain spinner, which spins at incredibly high speeds to keep water off the front of the lens. This ensures that the lens stays clear and unobstructed, even in driving rain or heavy spray.

REMOTE OPERATION

The Shotover F1 gives camera operators full wireless control, enabling them to create and compose shots with precision from a distance. Through a wireless link, the operator can smoothly adjust camera movements such as pan, tilt, zoom, and focus in real time, ensuring seamless transitions and perfect framing. This flexibility is crucial when filming from fast - moving vehicles or boats, as it allows the operator to react quickly to changing conditions and maintain sharp focus on the subject without being physically tethered to the rig.

This wireless setup not only allows for greater creative control but also enables the operator to capture complex and dynamic sequences with ease. Whether dealing with rough terrain or turbulent seas, the operator can continuously monitor and tweak shots, ensuring high - quality, stable footage in the most demanding environments. The combination of wireless control and stabilization makes the F1 an essential tool for precision filming.
