Recently, the team put their new F1 to the test shooting scenes for the fast-paced and stunt-filled motor series Top Gear. The SHOTOVER F1 is perfectly tailored to support our rigorous shooting schedule, said Samuel Gyger, head of Samcam.Film. We had an hour to prepare before our first job with the F1, and everything worked perfectly. Gyger continued, It's apparent that a lot of thought and know-how was involved in the perfecting of this system, from it's sleek carbon fiber design, 6-axis look down capability, and overall portability, the system is truly a game changer.

The F1's modular design allows for the integration of a wide range of professional cameras such as the RED Weapon 8K S35, Arri Alexa Mini, Phantom Flex4K, Canon C500, Sony F55 and F65 along with a broad range of lenses. Out of the box, the system accommodates over 175 different payload combinations. In addition, the F1 has an open platform design, making it upgradeable as more advanced camera and lens become available.

SamCam.Film is one of the leading production companies in the Alps, and we are pleased to welcome them into the SHOTOVER family, said SHOTOVER CEO Brad Hurndell. We look forward to supporting their production and documentary work in 2017 and beyond.

Relied upon by production companies and broadcasters across 6 continents, the F1 has quickly become with the most recognized camera system for aerial filming.
