MAKE IT ROUGH - MAKE IT STEADY
The Shotover F1 is the ultimate performer when filming from vehicles or watercraft in extreme conditions. Its class leading stabilisation makes the Shotover F1 the ultimate choice for capturing smooth, precise footage - even in the most challenging environments. Whether racing alongside a speeding car or navigating rough seas, the F1's advanced fibreoptic gyros and powerful motors ensures rock-steady, crisp visuals.
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 can compensate 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 telephoto lenses where even the smallest shake can ruin a shot. This is a gimbal is specially engineered to hold a rock steady image, even when on a long lens. The Shotover F1 helps ensure that every frame is stable, crisp and well composed, no matter how extreme the environment.
BOATS
A game-changer when it comes to filming on boats, the Shotover F1's powerful and highly sensitive motors excel at keeping footage smooth. Even in the wildest conditions the system absorbs random rocking and pitching movements with ease.
The other key advantage of a specialised head like the Shotover F1 is its ability to continue operating in extremely wet environments. Engineered from the ground up to withstand extreme rain and the worst maritime condition, the Shotover F1 gimbal 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 can also be configured with full wireless control, enabling camera operators to create and compose precise shots even 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 boats or fast-moving vehicles. It allows the operator to react quickly to changing conditions and maintain sharp focus without being physically tethered to the rig.
The Shotover wireless setup not only allows for greater creative control but also enables the operator to capture complex and dynamic sequences with greater accuracy. Whether dealing with rough terrain or turbulent seas, we can continuously monitor and tweak shots, ensuring high - quality, stable footage.
The combination of wireless control and advanced stabilisation makes the F1 an essential tool for precision operation.
