Unequaled Look-Down Capability
SHOTOVER F1
A 6-axis gyro stabilized platform that delivers unshakable stability with unmatched look down capability for use inverted, or right side up—on almost anything that moves. It rigs fast and accommodates hundreds of camera and lens combinations, for the look you want. Its compact carbon fiber construction means it ships as excess baggage on commercial flights worldwide with no export restrictions.
SHOTOVER F1 Reel
The F1 is in a class of its own when it comes to capturing pristine images that deliver the most intense you-are-there experience possible. The SHOTOVER F1 Reel features helicopter and truck mounted shots captured throughout New Zealand. Video directed & produced by Ty Evans’ new production company GHOST DIGITAL CINEMA. A big thanks to the whole crew and to HELIO & Company for the graphics.
